Care advice
To maintain the effectiveness of the compression tights, it is recommended to wash them daily. Indeed, water allows the fibres to retract and thus recover the initial effective pressure. It is advisable to machine wash the compression tights (separately during the first washes) with a detergent for delicate fabrics and without fabric softener, at a temperature between 30 °C and 40 °C. Then dry them away from sunlight and any heat source. You have the option to spin your compression tights without twisting them! Do not use detergent products. Do not iron.
