Compression garments

Compression garments — socks, knee-highs, sleeves, shapers, and technical apparel — are products that combine textile and function: they provide targeted support to specific areas of the body, serving purposes that range from everyday comfort to healthcare and sports. In this section, you will find a selection of specialized brands in the industry.

How to navigate compression garments

The fundamental distinction is between support and medical devices: light compression garments for comfort and sports can be chosen independently based on size and intended use; graduated compression products with defined classes have specific purposes, and the correct choice — class, size, model — should be made with your doctor or pharmacist, measuring according to the manufacturer's charts. The rule of exact sizing applies to all: a compression garment that is the wrong size will not perform its function and can be counterproductive.

For sports use, compression garments support activity and recovery according to the manufacturer's guidelines.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I take measurements correctly?

In the morning, following the measurement points indicated by the manufacturer (typically ankle and calf for knee-highs): each brand has its own charts, and they are not interchangeable.

Can I wear them all day?

Comfort garments yes, according to tolerance; for medical devices with defined classes, the recommendations of the professional who advised them apply.

How do I wash them without damaging them?

Gentle wash or hand wash, no fabric softener or dryer: elasticity is the function, and it must be preserved.
