First Wear
Everything you need to know about how to put them on, break them in and what to expect.
These aren't just any pair of TIGHTS....
They're hard to get on the first time
Don't try and put these on like regular tights! Sit down and slowly work them up the legs. Follow our comprehensive guide below for a flawless fit.
They need movement to break in
They might feel small at first! Stretch the waistband and pull on the cables to distribute support. As you move, they will mold perfectly to your body.
They won't feel like a traditional brace
Unlike a traditional brace, these will not feel rigid or bulky. Don’t worry if you don’t feel anything major, that’s the beauty of the design.
