Refund policy

1. Return & Exchange Eligibility

You can request an exchange, store credit, or a refund within 30 days of delivery. To qualify, the item must:

  • Have been tried on for size only, without workout use or direct contact between the silicone taping and your skin.
  • Be unwashed and have its original tags attached.
  • Be free of heavy stains, odors, damage, and alterations.

Trying on for size

Remove the plastic packaging and turn the item inside out before trying it on. The silicone taping should face outward and stay off your skin. The packaging can affect how the compression fabric stretches and make it harder to judge the fit.

Light dust or minor marks from a brief fit check are acceptable.

Wear instructions

After confirming the fit, wear the item with the silicone taping against your skin.

  • Moisturize your skin before putting on the item.
  • Limit your first wear to one hour, when the silicone grip is strongest.
  • Increase wear time gradually, up to five hours at a time.
  • Stop wearing the item if irritation persists.
  • Avoid wearing the item over wounds or inflamed skin.
  • Speak with your doctor before use if you have health concerns.

2. Exchange, Store Credit & Refund Options

Exchange

Exchange your item for the same product in a different size or color. We ship the replacement at no cost to you. If we ask you to send the original item back, the return shipping terms below apply.

Store credit

Receive your full purchase amount as WaveWear store credit. Your credit is valid for 24 months and can be used on any WaveWear product.

Refund to your original payment method

For eligible returns, we refund the amount you paid for the item, including any applicable tax paid on it, to your original payment method. We don't charge a refund processing fee.

If you'd like a different product, choose store credit or a refund to your original payment method, then place a new order.

3. Shipping Costs

Original shipping charges

For refunds based on fit, personal preference, or a change of mind, any original shipping charge paid at checkout is non-refundable. If we confirm that your item arrived damaged, defective, or incorrect and you choose a refund, we'll also refund any original shipping charge attributable to the affected item. We'll refund shipping charges whenever required by applicable law.

Return shipping costs

If we require a return for a refund, store credit, or an exchange based on fit, personal preference, or a change of mind, you pay the cost of sending the item back, unless applicable law requires us to cover it. If we require a return because your item arrived damaged, defective, or incorrect, we'll cover the return shipping cost. If we confirm that you can keep the item, there's no need to ship it back.

4. Exclusions & Special Cases
