Recovery

For the best results, put on your post-workout recovery wear immediately after training or competition. The first 2–4 hours are when your body begins repairing microtears and flushing out lactic acid, so adding circulation-enhancing compression early helps increase blood flow and speed the process. For instance, wearing our leg sleeves for recovery during this window can help reduce swelling and soreness in the lower extremities. 

For high-intensity sessions, consider keeping them on longer to maximize recovery and comfort.

Yes. Our gear is suitable for both short recovery sessions and long-term performance and recovery support. Many athletes and professionals use recovery gear for extended periods, including travel and sleep. The graduated design supports blood circulation while keeping muscles stable and relaxed. Overnight wear can further help reduce swelling, muscle pain, and soreness by maintaining consistent applying pressure across a long period of rest. 

If you wear this gear all day, ensure the fit remains comfortable and does not restrict movement.

Proper care keeps your recovery compression tights, socks, shirts, and leg sleeves effective for the long term. For best results, hand wash and hang dry your DFND recovery compression gear. This method helps preserve the integrity of the fabrics and extends their lifespan and performance. If you prefer, you can machine wash in cold water and tumble dry low, though over time heat transfers may begin to peel. This does not affect the compression power, but hang drying will keep garments looking newer. Always avoid bleach and fabric softeners to maintain compression strength. Following these steps will help maintain their circulation-enhancing compression properties and ensure consistent support for reducing muscle soreness over many uses.
