Q. How should my IMBRACE leggings fit?
- In a word; Snug. They can’t do the job they’re designed for if they are loose. But being too tight will restrict your movement too. Our sizing charts have been carefully worked out - if you fall between sizes go for the larger one.
Q. How often should I wash my leggings?
- Your leggings are treated with an effective anti bacteria treatment. They need washing far less often than you’d imagine. When you do wash them please use cold water (30*C) and avoid detergents, softeners and chemicals. Just rinse them and then hang them up to air dry.
Q. Can I wear a heavier duty or bespoke brace over my
IMBRACE leggings?
- Absolutely! The material around the knees is great for keeping additional braces in place for increased support and confidence. Your IMBRACE leggings used as an under garment can actually make heavier braces more comfortable by reducing pinching, slippage and chafing.
Q. Can I wear IMBRACE if I’ve recently had an operation to aid recovery?
1. Compression leggings and the support and comfort they provide can be a valuable tool when used as part of your post operative* recovery plan.
*You should seek the advice of your doctor or clinician to confirm that IMBRACE’s targeted compression is right for your situation.
Q. Are there conditions that IMBRACE might not be
suitable for?
- If you suffer from Arthritis or Osteoarthritis - especially with swelling in the joints - the compression against the patella can be very uncomfortable. IMBRACE might not be suitable if you suffer from some vascular or circulatory conditions*.
*You should seek the advice of your doctor or clinician to confirm that IMBRACE’s targeted compression is right for your situation.
