Should I wear my Bauerfeind brace directly against my skin or over clothing?Updated 3 hours ago
Most Bauerfeind knitted braces and supports are designed to be worn directly against your skin for optimal compression, anatomical positioning and support.
Why is direct skin contact recommended?
Compression: Helps the knitted fabric sit securely and provide its intended compression.
Anatomical alignment: Ensures silicone pads and stabilising components are positioned correctly.
Secure positioning: Reduces unnecessary movement or slipping caused by clothing underneath.
Comfort: Allows the breathable fabric to sit naturally against your body.
Can I wear my brace over clothing?
Some rigid braces may be suitable for wearing over thin clothing, depending on their design and fitting instructions.
However, clothing underneath can affect positioning, compression and stability.
Always follow your product's Instructions for Use (IFU) to confirm the recommended wearing method.
