Zipper opens when the chambers inflate – what to do?

Why does the zipper come undone?

Do you know the feeling? You're lying back, relaxed in your Lymph-Flow Pants (LFP), enjoying the massage, and suddenly it happens: The zipper gives way and opens as soon as the chambers are fully inflated. It's not just annoying, but it also completely disrupts your relaxation.

The good news first: Your device is not broken! In fact, this phenomenon is a classic sign of a zipper setting that's too tight or an unfavorable size adjustment. Many believe: "The tighter the pants fit, the better the effect." But it's exactly this myth that leads to zipper frustration.

In this article, we'll explain to you exactly why this problem occurs, what effects it has, and most importantly, how you can solve it permanently – all without any extra effort.

Why does the zipper come undone in the first place?

Why does the zipper open at all? The reason is usually quite simple: As soon as the air chambers of your **Lymph-Flow Pants (LFP)** come to life, a lot happens inside. Your legs receive a soothing massage, but **the volume increases significantly**. **What happens inside the pants:** As air is supplied, the chambers expand. This creates additional pressure against the material and the zipper. If the zipper setting is too tight – or if the transition between the leg and hip area is too different – the zipper cannot withstand the pressure and opens. **Typical causes of the problem:** - **The "V-Shape":** The pants fit perfectly at the calves but are a bit too tight at the hips or waist. - **Underestimated Power:** The chambers build up more volume than expected when putting them on. - **Physical Dynamics:** Especially with **lymph or lipedema**, the circumference of your legs can fluctuate throughout the day. What fits in the morning might be too tight by evening. **What consequences can this have?** - The zipper keeps opening - You feel constricted or under pressure - The application loses effectiveness - Uncertainty: "Is the device too strong? Is something broken?" The reassurance: **The device is completely fine.** It is a normal effect that can be 100% resolved – with the right setting or the appropriate extension.

Your solution for an uninterrupted massage

The solution to the zipper problem

So that you can fully enjoy your massage with the Venen Engel, there are two simple levers. The goal: Keep the pressure where it belongs – in the air chambers, not on the zipper.
The right width setting
If needed: Extension flaps for extra width

1. Choose a larger setting

It sounds paradoxical, but: A looser fit often leads to better results. When you choose a wider setting, the chambers have the necessary space to fully expand.

Your advantage: The zipper is relieved and stays securely closed even during intense programs.

The feeling: The massage feels more even and widespread, rather than pressing at specific points. By choosing a larger setting, you distribute the pressure optimally. The chambers have enough room to expand, and the zipper stays closed – even at higher intensities.

This means:

  • Less pressure on the zipper
  • More pleasant, even massage
  • No more popping open
  • Safe use even with stronger programs

2. The secret weapon: Extension flaps

Especially with a lymphoedema or lipoedema, our bodies are individual – often the circumferences of calves, thighs, and hips are very different. Our extension flaps give you 10 cm per side exactly where you need them.

  • No more "spreading": Especially in the hip and buttock area, the tension is relieved.
  • Perfect anatomy: The pants adapt to your curves, not the other way around.
  • Maximum freedom: Effective massage without the feeling of being "squeezed".

The medical background: Why "less" is often "more"

Did you know that too tight compression can even slow down lymph flow? Localized pressure points create "traffic jams". Only with the right width or the use of flaps:

  • You create an even pressure.
  • You support the natural drainage of lymph fluid.
  • You reduce swelling effectively and gently at the same time.
