Traditional kinesiology tape is a roll you measure, cut and stick on fresh before each session, then peel off afterward. WaveWear's sleeves and wraps build AlignX™ silicone taping lines directly into the fabric along similar pathways, so the pattern is already positioned — you put the garment on, and wash it to reuse rather than replacing tape after each use.

Match the product to the area you want supported: K2 for the knee, C2 for the calf, A1 for the ankle, E2 for a joint-focused elbow fit or F1 for elbow-plus-forearm coverage, and H1 for the wrist. Warm Up Sports Cream is a separate skin-prep product, not a taping garment.

Yes — these are reusable garments, not single-use tape. Hand-wash in cold water with mild detergent, keeping the silicone side facing in; gently rubbing the silicone while washing helps clear dust. Avoid bleach, fabric softener, ironing and machine drying, and air-dry in the shade.

Sizing is specific to each product and body area — for example, the K2 knee sleeve is measured around the thigh above the knee rather than by standard S/M/L. Check the size chart on each product page against your own measurements before ordering, since a loose fit can let the taping shift out of position.

Most pieces in this collection are designed to be worn during activity — depending on the product, uses include running, cycling, gym, weightlifting, tennis, golf, climbing, hiking and basketball. If it's your first time wearing AlignX™ silicone against the skin, start with shorter sessions and extend gradually as it feels comfortable.

Apply Warm Up Sports Cream to the skin about 20 minutes before training, then give it 2–3 minutes to absorb before putting on a compression sleeve or wrap, since layering tight fabric over wet cream adds friction. It can also be reapplied after training as part of a recovery routine.
