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