How to choose the right compression
In choosing a compression that is just right for you, you need to check the size, material, and price of the compression before completing a purchase. All of these criteria are needed to avoid the buyer’s regret.

Since compressions are usually a smaller fit compared to other workout clothes, it is important to know your size. Even though it is stretchable, it is advisable to pick just the right size so you can stay comfortable while working out.
- Material
The material of the compression that you are buying needs to be stretchable for maximised comfort. As it will endure a lot of body movement, it is also recommended to buy a compression that is made from durable fabric.
