Master Your SKINS™: Fit, Care, and Size

Smooth It Out

Smooth It Out

Holding the bunched up garment in your hand, gradually unroll the fabric up your leg or arm, smoothing out any wrinkles or folds, and ensuring the seam remains aligned for optimal compression and support.

How to Wear Your SKINS™

Washing Tips
  • Machine Wash Cold: Use cold water to maintain the fabric's integrity and compression benefits.
  • Use Mild Detergent: Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and harsh chemicals that can damage the garment.
 Drying Tips
  • Hang Dry: Air drying preserves the fabric’s elasticity and shape. Hang your garment in a shaded area away from direct sunlight.
  • Avoid Tumble Drying: Heat from a dryer can degrade the compression fibers and reduce the garment’s lifespan.
    Storage
 Storage Tips
  • Store Hung or Folded: To prevent creasing and damage, hang your garment flat or fold it gently.
  • Keep Away from Heat: Store your garment in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
