Get the most out of your socks by following these guidelines.

1. Putting on Your Compression Socks

Wearing rubber gloves makes it easier to put on compression socks while also protecting the fabric from potential snags caused by fingernails or jewelry.

If you’re not using gloves, be sure to remove any hand and wrist jewelry to prevent damage. Additionally, be cautious with zippers and Velcro fasteners on your footwear to avoid snagging the fabric.

2. Washing Your Compression Socks

To preserve the elasticity and effectiveness of your compression socks, wash them after each use and allow them to air dry. Wash separately or with similar colors using a gentle cycle at 30-40°C, avoiding hot water.

For extra protection, place your compression socks in a linen or mesh laundry bag before machine washing. Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach or fabric softeners, as they can weaken the elasticity of the fabric.

3. After Washing Your Compression Socks

After washing, avoid wringing out the socks; instead, gently press out excess water. You can either tumble dry them on a low setting or let them air dry.

Using a dryer occasionally can help restore elasticity after extended use, but avoid drying them in direct sunlight or near heaters and radiators. To maintain optimal compression, consider replacing your socks every 3-6 months, depending on usage.

 

What about Compression wear?

Use Mild Detergent
To preserve the performance of your compression wear, always use a mild detergent. Harsh soaps can break down the fabric, reducing its effectiveness over time.

Hand Wash for Best Results
Fill a basin with cool water and add mild detergent. Let your compression wear soak for 5–10 minutes, then gently rub to remove dirt, oil, and residue. Rinse thoroughly and squeeze out excess water without wringing.

Limit Machine Washing
While our products are machine washable, frequent machine washing can shorten their lifespan. If necessary, place them in a mesh laundry bag, wash on a gentle cycle with cold water, and remove promptly to prevent over-soaking.

Air Dry Only
Always air dry your compression gear to maintain its integrity. Lay flat on a drying rack and keep away from direct heat. Avoid dryers, as high temperatures can damage the fabric.

Rotate Between Multiple Pairs
Owning multiple pairs allows you to rotate usage, preventing excessive wear on a single pair. Investing in 2–4 pairs will help extend the lifespan and maintain optimal compression.
