なぜ保湿が必要ですか？

Dry skin may cause irritation as the silicone can cause friction (chafing) and depending on individual's sensitivity, this can cause discomfort to the skin. Moisturizing prevents that and also helps with better adhesion. We recommend using lotion or WaveWear's Anti-Chaf Sport Cream.

WaveWearは一日中着用できますか？

When first trying Wavewear, we recommend starting with an hour and then gradually increasing the usage time.
This is because the adhesive silicone taping initially feels awkward on the skin and requires some time to get used to.
It is the same as how it takes time to get comfortable in newly purchased shoes. Please take in-between breaks when wearing for longer than 5 hours to give your skin some time to rest.

自分に合うサイズの選び方は？

You should follow the size measurements regarding each product that are located under the description of the individual products.

その他の質問

Title

他のスリーブやサポーターと併用できますか？

If you would like more compression, yes you can. Wear WaveWear so the adhesive silicone is in direct contact with the skin and wear the other sleeve or supporter over WaveWear. However, this may cause chafing so please moisturize and check on your skin.

クーリングスプレーと併用できますか？

Yes you can. We recommend you to spray cooling such as BioFreeze directly into your skin rather than on the silicone as it is the most effective. This is because it absorbs better but when spraying onto the silicone, the cooling spray will lay on the silicone which can interfere with the silicone adhesiveness.

接着シリコンは布から剥がれますか？

Silicone won't peel off. Silicone is stretchy, so it moves with the fabric as it stretches, making it non-reelable and non-rippable.

内蔵シリコンテープは個人に合わせてフィットしますか？

The silicone tape design is based on kinesiology taping methods that target large muscle groups to fit most people.

WaveWear着用は運動中の身体能力や筋肉のパフォーマンスを制限しますか？

WaveWear is designed to enhance your movement and provide additional support, rather than restrict it. The product works in conjunction with your muscles, allowing you to perform exercises as you normally would. Therefore, it is ultimately your own physical ability and muscle performance that determines the effectiveness of your workout, with WaveWear serving as a helpful aid.

洗濯・お手入れ

Title

洗濯・乾燥方法

Proper care is essential to maintain the compression and adhesive performance of your WaveWear.
We highly recommend hand washing in lukewarm water using a neutral/mild detergent, as this best preserves the elasticity of the fabric and the integrity of the silicone.

• Best Practice (Hand Wash): Turn the product inside out (silicone facing inward) and gently hand wash in lukewarm water with neutral/mild detergent, focusing on wiping off dust, sweat, and skin residue from the silicone area.

• Machine Wash: Machine wash is possible but may affect the longevity of the fabric, so we recommend it only when necessary. If using a machine, turn the product inside out (silicone facing inward), place it in a laundry net, and use a delicate cycle with cold or lukewarm water. Wash with like colors.

• Avoid: Do NOT use bleach or fabric softeners, as these chemicals can coat the silicone and reduce its adhesive properties.

To remove excess water do not twist but squeeze lightly.

1. Turn the sleeve inside out.

2. Hand wash the silicone with neutral detergent in lukewarm water.

3. Turn the product right side out when drying. If not, dust will stick to the silicone.

4. Once dry, wear again.

お手入れ方法

• Air Dry Only: Lay flat or hang to dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight, which can damage the technical fibers and shorten product life.
• No Heat: Do NOT use a machine dryer and do NOT iron, as high heat can melt or deform the silicone taping and damage the fabric.
• Storage: When storing, always fold or place the product with the silicone facing inward to prevent dust and lint from accumulating on the adhesive surface.

[IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS]
• Do not wear over open wounds, rashes, or inflamed skin.
• Avoid wearing for extended periods of sleep or situations with prolonged static pressure.
• Keep away from high-temperature heat sources or environments that could deform the silicone or fabric.

洗濯機で洗えますか？

We highly recommend hand washing, but machine washing is possible.

If using a machine, turn the product inside out (silicone facing inward), place it in a laundry net, and use a delicate cycle with cold or lukewarm water. Wash with like colors.

Note: Machine wash may affect the longevity of the fabric, so we recommend it only when necessary. Also, do NOT use bleach or fabric softeners, as these chemicals can coat the silicone and reduce its adhesive properties.

I have been using WaveWear for a few months, and feel the adhesion has weakened. What do I do?

If you feel the silicone is losing its grip, it is usually due to microscopic dust, skin oils, sweat, or dead skin cells on the surface rather than the silicone wearing out.

• Quick Fix: Wipe the silicone surface with a wet wipe or a soft cloth lightly dipped in a small amount of rubbing alcohol, or use adhesive tape to lift off fine lint and dust.

• Deep Clean: After long-term use, if washing no longer restores adhesion, a professional dry cleaning can help remove deeply embedded residue and often restore the silicone's performance close to like-new condition.

• Best Timing: For best results, wash your gear as soon as possible after exercise so that sweat, oil, and dust do not sit on the silicone for too long.

You can check whether the adhesiveness is still intact by feeling if it gently lifts your skin when you take off WaveWear, rather than only by touching the silicone with your hand.
