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 OR SHORTS...
They're hard to get on the first time
Don’t pull them on like regular gear. Sit down and slowly work them up your legs—whether it’s tights or shorts. It’s not a rush; it’s a process. Follow our guide below to get the perfect fit on the first try.
They need movement to break in
They’ll feel snug at first. That’s by design. Stretch the waistband, engage the control dials, and move around. With each step, the support system will adapt and mold to your body.
THEY WON’T FEEL LIKE A TRADITIONAL SUPPORT
No bulk. No stiffness. No clunky straps. You might wonder if they’re “working”—they are. These are designed to feel natural while delivering serious support where you need it most.
