How do I take care of my grip socks?
Your Pilates grip socks deserve a little attention to stay soft, effective, and comfortable session after session. Here are a few simple tips to help you care for them and extend their lifespan.
Wash them gently
Choose cold water washing, either by hand or on a delicate machine cycle. This helps preserve elasticity and protect the grips. Avoid hot water, which can damage the fibers and reduce grip performance.
Protect them in the washing machine
If using a machine, place your socks inside a small laundry bag. This prevents snagging and helps them keep their shape.
Air-dry them
Avoid the dryer: heat can damage the silicone grips. Let your socks air-dry flat, in a well-ventilated area and away from direct sunlight.
Avoid fabric softener
Softeners coat the grip dots and reduce their effectiveness. A mild detergent is all you need to keep your socks clean and performing well.
Store them in a dry place
Keep your socks in a dry, airy space. Moisture can damage the fabric and promote unpleasant odors.
Do not iron
Never use an iron: the heat can melt or deform the grip silicone.
My socks are losing their grip, what should I do?
Over time, grip effectiveness can decrease if the socks are washed with fabric softener, dried in a machine, or exposed to high temperatures. We recommend:
- washing them in cold water,
- avoiding fabric softener,
- letting them air-dry,
- not ironing them,
- gently cleaning the grip dots with a damp cloth to remove residue.
What is the difference between combed cotton and regular cotton?
In short: combed cotton offers more softness, strength and comfort.
To make a long story short:
1. Unparalleled softness
Combed cotton undergoes an additional refining stage:
Short fibers and impurities are eliminated, leaving only the longest and most regular fibers.
Result :
- a smoother texture,
- a softer feel on the skin,
- a feeling of comfort with every movement.
2. More resistant, more durable
By removing the shortest fibers, a thread is obtained:
- stronger ,
- which pills less ,
- which deforms less over time.
Your combed cotton socks hold up better:
- repeated washings,
- stretching,
- Pilates and fitness sessions.
They retain their shape and shape longer, making them a more sustainable choice.
3. Better breathability, more comfortable
Combed cotton offers a more uniform and airy weave, which allows better air circulation.
In practical terms, this allows:
- to limit humidity,
- to keep feet cooler and drier ,
- to reduce the risk of chafing and blisters.
For non-slip socks, this is essential: we want grip, but also comfort throughout the session.
4. Improved support, in service of movement
Thanks to its high-quality fibers, combed cotton allows:
- a flexible but stable material,
- good foot support without compression,
- socks that stay firmly in place.
Less slippage, fewer annoying creases, less distraction: you can focus on your posture, alignment, and flow.
5. Gentler on sensitive skin
The removal of impurities and irregular fibers makes combed cotton:
- softer ,
- less irritating ,
- more suitable for sensitive skin.
6. A more polished look
Because it is more uniform, combed cotton offers:
- a cleaner drape,
- a smoother and more elegant appearance,
It is for all these reasons that we have chosen combed cotton for our socks: so that every session, every step, every moment at home is a little more pleasant for your feet.
