Lipedema is a painful condition that affects the distribution of fat cells in the body, concentrating mainly in the lower half, usually the legs and sometimes spreading up to the torso. Even a gentle touch or squeeze of the leg is often enough to send someone with this condition screaming. Exercise is painful, often making the condition worse.
Lipedema is also highly resistant to any form of dieting and exercise, making those with it have to endure a lot of emotional abuse and criticism for not being able to lose weight starting from a young age. This can lead to many mental health problems including depression and disordered eating.
Let this plushie be both a comfort for sufferers, and a reminder to those unaware of the condition that it exists! And someone else's weight is not a stick for you to hurt them under any circumstances, lipedema or no. There's no shortage of unsolicited advice, so spend your time and energy on something more positive.
Note: We are aware that not everyone with lipedema has the same distribution, and there are limitations to what we can do on a cute plushie and is a compromise between many different expressions of lipedema while still being an emotional support plush to all!
We collected feedback from multiple social media platforms as well as consulting people struggling with the condition.
Lipedema Syndrome Set Includes
1x Super Soft Rabbit - measures approx. 57cm (22 inches) from tip of ears to toes
1x Sturdy Cotton Tote Bag - measures 38cm x 33cm (15in x 13in)

Symbolism:
Ill fitting clothing due to pressure from a young age to lose weight to fit in
Flowers in the ears for blocking out constant criticism for an undiagnosed condition
Plush celery for the need to constantly be seen eating "Correct" foods or people will criticize your eating as the reason for the condition.
IMPORTANT NOTE Regarding the design of our Plushie Dreadfuls. We take these topics seriously. That's why our design team only creates plushies related to issues with which they have direct experience. In cases where our team does not have direct experience, we assemble an external team of experts to help guide our creative process. In addition, we use Crowd Design to engage a wide range of voices via platforms like Instagram and Facebook. We gather and respond to feedback from our audience - many of whom have direct experience with the issues we're exploring. And while we strive to represent as many aspects of a particular issue as possible while avoiding stereotypical representations, we hope you understand that plush toys as an artistic medium do limit the full expression of a particular issue to those things that can be crafted in fabric and stitching.

Returns and Exchanges Policy
Most items can be returned for exchange or refund, subject to our Terms and Conditions. Full details can be found under Terms and Conditions and in our Terms of Service. By completing a purchase at Mysterious you agree to our Terms and Conditions.
Shipping and Tracking
We offer FREE shipping to most locations in the world on orders over $60 USD on select products.
**Update – April 2025**
Due to newly imposed tariffs by the U.S. government, the shipping fee for parcels to the United States is now based on weight and starting at a minimum of $15 USD. This fee includes all applicable taxes and import duties, ensuring that no additional charges will be incurred by customers upon delivery.
Free Shipping for the USA is now only for orders over $200 USD in total.
We will continue to monitor the situation and adjust shipping rates accordingly should any changes in trade policies allow for a reduction in costs.
Some items are provided by a third party (indicated on product page) who control the shipping fees and therefore cannot be included in the free shipping.
For orders less than $60 USD, we apply a flat rate shipping cost based on weight: Less than 1lbs (0.45kg) = $9 USD; Greater than 1lbs (0.45kg) = $15 USD (Remote and hard to ship to countries, including but not limited to Iceland and Mexico, have a flat rate of $15 USD)
Your order is shipped directly from our locations in Shanghai and Shenzhen, China through a logistics center in Hong Kong and via e-packet mail services like USPS, DHL, and EMS.
Delivery time depends on global events, delivery location, and time of year, with 3 weeks being typical and some situations requiring 2~4+ weeks once shipped.
Please note that once shipped, we have no control over the shipping companies or global logistics slowdowns and delays, and you may potentially see lengthy delivery times and large gaps in tracking movement. Gaps of a week (or more) are unfortunately quite possible especially on international shipping. Local and International holidays, global events, weather, and other "Acts of God" can also create unexpected delays in shipping.
All packages are insured and tracked. And you will receive a tracking number via email when your order is handled and shipped. Tracking number emails often go into Spam Folders - please check yours.
If any item is lost during shipping (not including handling time), meaning there is no sort of tracking update for 4 weeks or more, we will refund your purchase and shipping costs. Because we hand process all orders, handling times can be impacted by our traveling or local holidays.
