How We're Funded
Lipedema Help is funded primarily through affiliate commissions on compression garments and related products. We never sell surgery, represent a single brand, or accept payment to influence editorial content. Our recommendations are based on clinical merit alone.
Affiliate links
Some links on this site — particularly on pages about compression garments, books, and accessories — are affiliate links. If you buy through one of these links, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
Affiliate income keeps the site free to read. It does not influence what we recommend. We evaluate products on clinical merit across brands. We will suggest a product from Brand B over Brand A if the evidence supports it, regardless of which commission is higher.
Full affiliate disclosure
Some links on this page are affiliate or partner links. If you buy through them we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. We only suggest products on clinical merit and recommend across brands — our guidance is never paid for. See our full affiliate disclosure.
What we will never do
- Sell surgery. We do not take referral fees from surgeons or clinics. We do not have preferred-provider relationships. Surgeon listings (where provided) are informational, not paid placements.
- Promote a single garment brand. We review and recommend across brands. Our garment guide compares options; we do not favour the brand with the highest commission.
- Accept sponsored content. No article on this site has been written or shaped by a paying sponsor. Editorial decisions are made independently by our team.
- Sell or share your data. We do not sell reader data to third parties. See our Privacy Policy.
Other potential income
In the future, we may explore display advertising, newsletter sponsorships (clearly labelled), or grants from patient advocacy organisations. Any new income stream will be disclosed on this page.
Our independence statement
Lipedema Help is editorially independent. The commercial relationships described above sustain the site but do not shape it. If you ever see something on this site that feels inconsistent with that statement, please tell us.
