How do I care for my Compression Tights?Updated 11 hours ago

To keep your compression tights in top condition and extend their lifespan, follow these care instructions:

Wash in cold water with like colours as soon as possible after each use to remove sweat.

Hand washing is ideal, but a gentle or delicate cycle in the washing machine is also suitable.

Avoid leaving garments in the washing machine for extended periods after the cycle ends.

Do not tumble dry – heat can damage the fabric’s elasticity.

Hang to dry in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight.

Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and dryer sheets as they can break down the compression fibers.

Do not iron.


Our fabrics and knit structures are designed to be durable, but proper care is essential to maintain their performance and compression benefits over time.
