How it works
What sets it apart
Kinesiology support, built into the fabric
Our patented AlignX™ technology places adhesive silicone on the inside of the garment. It grips the skin like kinesiology tape, so the support holds while you move.

The silicone follows the direction of your muscles. Its grip is tuned to hold firm while you train, yet release easily when you take it off.
No cutting, no stickingSupport you just put on
No tape to cut and no expert needed to apply it. Put it on, and the support is already in place.
Grip comes back after washingReusable, wear after wear
A simple wash restores the grip of AlignX™ silicone, so you can wear it again and again instead of throwing tape away.
Moves as you moveStretches with the fabric
AlignX™ silicone stretches along with the fabric, so it won't lift or peel off, even during intense movement.
What people are saying
Tennis
Perfect Comfort for Long Rallies
Perfect for tennis. The fabric stays light and breathable even during long rallies, and it never sticks to my skin when I sweat. The shoulder area feels completely free, so my swings stay fast and smooth. Easily my favorite top for practice days.
Running
Made for Runners Who Sweat
Lightweight, breathable, and perfect for long runs. The fabric dries fast and never sticks to my skin, so I can stay focused on my pace. It feels super comfortable even when I’m sweating hard.
Fitness
The Tank I Reach for Every Time I Hit the Gym
This tank feels great for any gym session. It keeps me cool, moves easily with my body, and never gets in the way during workouts. Super comfortable and perfect for everyday training.
Futsal / Indoor Soccer
Waist Support You Can Feel
This tank gives me light compression with noticeable waist support from the taping. During futsal, my core feels more stable, especially in quick turns and sudden sprints. It’s breathable, stays in place, and really helps me move with more control.
Back support taping, built in
AlignX™ taping is built into the lower back of the top, where kinesiology tape is usually applied for back support. It holds the area while you lift, run and twist.
Breathable back panel for all-day comfort
A high-airflow mesh panel across the back boosts ventilation, keeping you cool and comfortable through every movement.
AlignX™ kinesiology technology
AlignX™ adhesive silicone recreates the kinesiology taping effect. Stickiness comes back after washing, and it's built for durability — it won't tear or peel off the fabric.
Made to move
Road runs
Lower-back taping and a breathable mesh back for steady miles.
Train anywhere
A lightweight compression top that stays in place as you move.
Details that count
Anti-slip band below the waist
A non-slip band sits below the waist hem so it stays in place without rolling up, even during intense movement.
Reflective logos for night runs
Reflective logos on both sides and the back catch headlights and street lights, so you stay visible on early-morning and night runs.

Frequently asked questions
About This Product
Can a compression top support the lower back during deadlifts?
A compression top can provide close-fitting support and a taping-like sensation around the lower back and core during deadlifts.
Lower-back coverage: Compression fabric keeps consistent contact around the torso while the body moves through deadlifts, rows, carries, and other loaded exercises.
Taping placement: The WaveWear R10 Compression Top places AlignX™ taping along the lower-back area instead of requiring separate tape before every workout.
Flexible movement: Unlike a rigid lifting belt, a compression top is designed to stay on during a complete workout and move with the torso between different exercises. A compression top and a lifting belt serve different purposes. The R10 provides flexible compression and built-in taping coverage; it does not provide the rigid abdominal pressure of a lifting belt.
Good to Know
What is kinesiology compression wear, and how does WaveWear work?
Kinesiology compression wear combines compression fabric with targeted taping support in one reusable garment.
The compression gives a secure, supportive fit and helps limit excessive muscle movement during activity.
The taping comes from AlignX™ — silicone taping lines built into the inside of the garment, placed along the same muscle pathways a physiotherapist would tape by hand. They make gentle contact with your skin around specific muscles and joints.
Unlike traditional kinesiology tape, there is nothing to measure, cut or apply. The support is already in the right place every time you put it on, and it goes back on tomorrow after a wash.
How is WaveWear different from kinesiology tape?
Traditional kinesiology tape has to be measured, cut and applied by hand before every session — and it peels off in the shower.
WaveWear builds AlignX™ silicone taping directly into the garment, so the pattern is already applied, already at the right tension, and reaches places you cannot easily tape yourself.
Reusable, not disposable. There is no adhesive to replace. Washing restores the silicone's grip, and the limit is the life of the garment rather than a roll count.
Compression as well as taping. Regular compression applies even pressure across a whole area. WaveWear adds directional taping lines that follow specific muscle groups, so support is targeted where your body needs it.
How do I wear WaveWear for the first time?
Start light — just 1 hour for your first wear. AlignX™ silicone is engineered to grip your skin securely. Like a new pair of shoes, it may feel firm at first, then settle into a fit that is comfortable for you.
Wear time guide. First, apply Warm-Up Sports Cream or petroleum jelly (such as Vaseline®) to your skin — everywhere the silicone touches. Moisturising reduces friction and helps prevent chafing. For your first wear, we recommend 1 hour or less. From there, gradually extend your wear time as your skin adjusts. We recommend a maximum of 5 hours, though some wear it comfortably for longer.
Outdoor and extended wear. During activities where removing the product mid-session is not practical — running, hiking, training — reapply cream or petroleum jelly over the silicone areas to stay chafe-free. If you get a short break, shifting the silicone slightly or peeling back the taping and re-applying it makes a noticeable difference.
Cautions. Stop using it immediately if itching, stinging or similar discomfort persists. Do not apply to broken or inflamed skin. Remove WaveWear before sleeping. If you have a condition affecting blood circulation, consult a doctor before use.
AlignX™ silicone is tested for skin-contact safety and made with skin-safe, non-toxic materials.
Can I wear WaveWear with another sleeve, brace or supporter?
Yes. If you want more compression, you can layer another sleeve or supporter over your WaveWear.
Order matters. Wear WaveWear directly against the skin so the AlignX™ silicone stays in contact with your body, and put the other sleeve or brace on top. The taping only works where it touches skin.
Watch for chafing. Layering increases pressure and friction, so keep the first few sessions short and moisturise the skin under the silicone.
This is also the answer for anyone using a rigid or hinged medical brace: WaveWear is flexible sportswear and does not replace that brace, but it can be worn underneath it.
What are the features of WaveWear kinesiology compression wear?
WaveWear provides one-of-a-kind support due to its combination of kinesiology and compression — see the four measured results in the section above.
For what sports or activities can I use WaveWear?
WaveWear can be used for various sports and for cross training. Many users enjoy using WaveWear for running, hiking, cycling, soccer, weight training, badminton and more.
Can I wear WaveWear taping compression wear to bed?
If it is your first time wearing WaveWear, we recommend wearing it for up to an hour first, because the silicone can cause friction to the skin especially when the product is new.
Why should I use WaveWear?
When we surveyed WaveWear users, the top reason they chose our products was injury prevention, followed closely by pain relief. This feedback reaffirms our commitment to supporting active lifestyles with reliable solutions for both protection and comfort.
Size guide
If you are in between sizes: choose the smaller size for tighter compression, the larger size for a lighter feel.
