The Lifespan of Compression Garments

It would be wonderful if one garment could last us forever, however technology isn't quite there yet. The elastic fibers of a compression garment will break down with wear over time.

While proper care will increase the lifespan of garments, they will need to be replaced about every six months when worn daily.

The garment should be replaced if it:

• No longer returns to its original shape after washing.
• Has runs or holes in the material.
• No longer feels tight or compressive.
• Has become too easy to put on.
• Has been 6 months since you have begun wearing your garment daily.
