Why Does My Compression Garment Slip or Bunch During the Day?

Slipping or bunching can relate to the garment's size, style, how it is put on or changes in your body. Identifying the cause can improve comfort.

The Right Size Matters

A garment that is too large may slip up or down during movement. One that is too small may roll at the edges or bunch in particular areas.

Choose according to the product's size chart rather than relying on your usual clothing size.

Distributing the Garment Evenly

Pulling a garment on from a single point can overstretch the fabric in some areas.

Position it gradually, distributing the fabric as evenly as possible across the body.

Check During the Day

Sitting for long periods, walking or other movements can alter the garment's position. Check areas around the waist, groin and knees periodically.

If the fabric rolls, gently reposition the garment rather than pulling hard on it.

Your Measurements May Have Changed

As swelling reduces, a previously suitable size may become loose. New persistent slipping may mean the size needs reassessment.
