Wear time varies by procedure and your care team’s plan, so it’s best to follow their instructions first. Many people are asked to wear a garment most of the day early on, then reduce hours as they progress, but timing can differ widely.

• Follow your provider’s guidance: They’ll set the schedule that fits your recovery.
• Check the fit daily: It should feel snug and supportive, not painful or numb.
• Plan for hygiene: Short breaks for showering and washing the garment are common if approved.
• Rotate extras: Keeping a second garment makes washing and drying easier.

If anything feels off—excess pressure, skin irritation, or discomfort—reach out to your healthcare provider for personalized advice.

These garments are designed to offer gentle, consistent hold as you recover. They’re not a substitute for medical care, but when your provider recommends one, the right piece can make day‑to‑day comfort and dressing easier.

• Light support: Helps everyday movements feel more controlled after a procedure.
• Dressings stability: Can help keep bandages or pads from shifting under clothing.
• Smoother base: Creates a clean layer under outfits for a more streamlined look.
• Convenience features: Zippers, multiple hook rows, adjustable straps, and open‑crotch designs can simplify on/off and bathroom breaks.

Always confirm with your healthcare provider if, when, and how long to use a garment for your specific situation.

Before changing your wear schedule, it’s wise to check with your surgeon or care team. Skipping time may reduce the support they intended for your recovery routine.

• Use approved breaks: Short intervals for showering or washing the garment are often acceptable when instructed.
• Prioritize comfort and fit: If it feels too tight, explore adjustable features (extra hook rows, straps) or recheck the size chart.
• Monitor your skin: Watch for soreness, tingling, or markings that don’t fade; if you notice issues, stop and contact your provider.
• Keep a backup: Rotating clean garments can make it easier to stay on plan.

Your provider’s guidance should lead any changes to wear time.

A good fit should feel snug but still allow easy breathing and movement. Because brands measure differently, use the product’s specific chart on the item page.

• Measure where it matters: Depending on the style, note bust/underbust, waist, hips, thighs, or arms.
• Match the chart: Compare your numbers to the size guide for that garment.
• Consider adjustability: Multi‑row hooks, zippers, and straps provide room to fine‑tune fit.
• Pick the right coverage: Options include arm sleeves, mid‑thigh, or full‑body with open‑crotch for convenience.
• Comfort first: If between sizes, reviews and garment details can help you choose what feels best.

When in doubt, ask your healthcare provider what level of support is appropriate for you.

Proper care can help your garment keep its shape and feel. Always check the care tag and the product page for item‑specific instructions.

• Before washing: Close zippers and hooks to protect the fabric.
• Wash gently: Hand wash in cold water or use a delicate cycle with mild detergent in a mesh bag.
• Avoid heat: Skip bleach, fabric softeners, and dryers; air‑dry flat away from direct sun.
• Rotate garments: Having an extra lets you wear one while the other dries.
• Spot check: If you see snags or stretched areas, rotate use to extend lifespan.

If your provider has hygiene guidance for your recovery, follow that first.
