Testimonials
We are committed to producing the highest quality materials that won’t compromise the effectiveness of your compression sleeves. "I am very pleased with
the products I received…and especially pleased with how quickly they arrived. You are doing a great thing to help women
feel and look beautiful!" "Arm Candy designs are sophisticated, and playful and can be worn with my jeans and t-shirts or
with a dress. Additionally, Arm Candy changed my view on lymphedema. I no longer have to look like I have lymphedema, instead I
look like a fashion statement!" Thanks for all of your help and I wish you the very best! "As
a Breast Cancer Oncologist, I advise women to purchase compression sleeves for when they fly or exercise, even if they don't
have lymphedema. Those women that do have it, have to wear a compression sleeve all the time. Warrior Wear, Inc.
and their product, Arm Candy have made it easier for women everywhere to be
fashionable yet practical."
-Alejandra Perez, MD, Hollywood, Florida When I work out at the gym, the old sleeves I wore looked so medicinal and these are fun and I feel less like a person
with a medical condition and more like a funky fashion trend setter. Thank you for the great
product. -Allison Haas, Tenafly, New

CANDY SWEETENS THE LOOK FOR BREAST CANCER SURVIVORS -
NEW FASHION ACCESSORY THAT
COVERS UNSIGHTLY compression sleeves - Ft. Lauderdale, FL October 1, 2008 – Arm Candy, the first fashion
accessory designed for breast cancer survivors who suffer from lymphedema or chronic arm swelling, is now available at www.warriorwear4u.com. Arm Candy fashion sleeves from Warrior Wear, Inc. are designed to cover unsightly medical compression sleeves
that must be worn daily. Arm Candy now makes it easier to wear short sleeves and strapless dresses by covering
up in style. Arm Candy is available in four colors and three sizes: Cotton Candy (Pink), Chocolate (Dark Brown),
Licorice and lace (Black with lace cuffs) and Black Jellybean. The handcrafted, lightweight fashion sleeves cost $20.00 each. “Compression
sleeves are important but they are pretty ugly and I felt ugly wearing one,” said Carolyn Newman, Warrior Wear, Inc.
president and a cancer survivor. “I like to dress nicely but my compression sleeve made me look unfeminine and unstylish.
I knew there had to be an easy way to cover the compression sleeve and developed Arm Candy. Now
people complement my look instead of feeling sorry for me.” Nearly 30 percent
of breast cancer survivors experience lymphedema, an incurable and chronic side effect of surgery and radiation that causes
the lymph nodes, limbs and extremities to swell. Medical compression sleeves are mandatory to reduce swelling and possible
infection caused by lymphedema and many breast cancer patients are advised to
wear the sleeves prophylactically as well. Medical compression sleeves come in
one color – a light beige “band-aid” hue – making the task of wardrobe coordination almost impossible.
Arm Candy is
available online and through select breast cancer boutiques. About Warrior Wear, Inc. Warrior Wear, Inc. creates and manufactures fashion accessories that add flair to
medical devices, such as compression sleeves or prosthetics. Diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in May
2006, Carolyn Newman had a radical bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction, chemotherapy and radiation. Surviving
that made her feel like a warrior. She developed lymphedema soon after and was forced to wear a medical
compression sleeve. Needing a fashion update, Newman and her partners, Lauren Aron and Jolene Paul, designed
arm sleeves that matched her outfits and Warrior Wear, Inc. was formed. Today the company sells its Arm
Candy line of fashion sleeves nationwide. For more information, please visit www.warriorwear4u.com
