If your code isn’t working, here are a few common reasons why:

A promotion code may not work for a variety of reasons, including:

·         The code has expired or has already been used (some are single use only).

·         It may not be combined with another offer — only one promo code can usually be applied per order.

·         The code may have been entered incorrectly — promo codes are case-sensitive.

·         Your order might not meet the eligibility criteria for the promotion.

·         You may be on the incorrect 2XU website for the region where the code applies.

If you are experiencing problems with any promotional code, please email nz@2xu.com, and we will be able to assist with any queries.

Your Compression Tights should feel form-fitting through your thighs, hips and waist.

You should be able to notice compressive pressure throughout the entire garment from ankle to waist without feeling restricted in your range of motion.

The waistband should feel comfortable and supportive, but not digging in.

If it’s your first time trying on compression you may find putting them on a bit more of a workout than you expected.

Our Compression Tights have a graduated fit with the firmest part being at the ankle to improve blood flow circulation. This means they will be firm to put your foot through the ankle, and then continue to pull the excess up the leg.

Ensure the fabric is gradually pulled up your legs to avoid having fabric sagging down at the crotch which may cause discomfort.

If you’re putting on Compression Tights with bare feet, your skin will have more friction resistance. If experiencing difficulties, we recommend putting socks on first to help the fabric slide over your feet.

We identify 4 different levels of compression, which include: 

Mild - suitable for low intensity and low-impact activities (ie. walking or yoga) (15-20 mmHg)
Moderate - suitable for both low and high intensity activities (ie. running or training) (20-23 mmHg)
Firm - suitable for high intensity and high-impact activities (ie. HIIT or cross-fit) (23-25 mmHg)
Extra Firm - suitable for recovery and post-activities (25-28 mmHg)

To keep your compression tights in top condition and extend their lifespan, follow these care instructions:

Wash in cold water with like colours as soon as possible after each use to remove sweat.

Hand washing is ideal, but a gentle or delicate cycle in the washing machine is also suitable.

Avoid leaving garments in the washing machine for extended periods after the cycle ends.

Do not tumble dry – heat can damage the fabric’s elasticity.

Hang to dry in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight.

Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and dryer sheets as they can break down the compression fibers.

Do not iron.

Our fabrics and knit structures are designed to be durable, but proper care is essential to maintain their performance and compression benefits over time.

Compression Tights are very versatile which will provide benefits for warm-up, during active use, recovery, injury management, travelling and medical needs. Refer to each product page to understand which product is best suited for your needs. The longer you wear compression the better the muscle support and circulation, but if you experience any discomfort, we recommend removing them for a period of time.

Finding the right size is key to getting the full benefit of 2XU compression — it should feel firm and supportive to stabilise muscles and promote circulation, but never restrictive or uncomfortable.

You can use the size charts on each product page to help make the best choice. Charts are available for men, women, and youth products and are located next to the size grid on every item page. In some cases, we’ll also note when it’s best to size up or down — this will appear in bold on the product description.

If you’re between sizes, here’s what to expect:

• Downsizing will increase compression power but may feel tighter around the waist or restrict movement. Make sure the garment still provides full coverage and doesn’t feel sheer or see-through.

• Upsizing will make it easier to get on and may feel more comfortable, but could reduce the level of compression. Be careful of excess fabric that might move during activity and cause chafing or require adjustment.

Overall, compression should feel snug but allow full freedom of movement. If you’re unsure which size is right for you, we’re always happy to help with a personalised recommendation.

Research has found that true sports compression can reduce the risk of injury, improve performance and speed up recovery.
Our tights are made from premium, durable yarns that hold muscles in place. They have a graduated profile to encourage blood flow to your muscles and therefore go beyond your standard pair of tights.
