Wearing compression garments during the summer months can be challenging, especially as temperatures rise and humidity increases. However, staying consistent with your compression routine is crucial throughout the year. With the right tips and products, you can remain cool, comfortable, and confident throughout the entire season.
At Pretty In Pink Boutique, we’re here to help you find compression solutions that support your lifestyle, even during the warmest days. From breathable fabrics to smart scheduling, here’s how to make summer a little easier.
Quick Tips for Summer Comfort:
- Choose breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics
- Stay hydrated throughout the day
- Reorder compression sleeves early
Choose Breathable, Summer-Friendly Fabrics
Not all compression garments are created equal, especially when it comes to summer wear. Choosing lightweight, moisture-wicking fabrics can significantly improve comfort and breathability. Look for garments designed to help regulate temperature and reduce sweat buildup, especially during outdoor activities or warmer climates.
Lighter colors can also help reflect heat, keeping your skin cooler underneath. At Pretty In Pink Boutique, we offer a range of seasonal compression garments that seamlessly blend function and comfort, allowing you to maintain support without compromising style.
Stay Hydrated and Listen to Your Body
Hydration plays a crucial role in managing swelling, especially in hot weather. When you’re sweating more, your body needs extra fluids to function and heal effectively. Make it a habit to drink water consistently throughout the day, and try to avoid direct sun exposure during peak hours.
If you feel overheated or uncomfortable, take breaks in shaded or air-conditioned areas. Wearing your compression garments in the early morning or late evening can also help you stay cooler during the hottest parts of the day.
Rotate and Refresh Your Compression Wardrobe
Summer humidity can mean more frequent washing of your garments, so having a few well-fitting options on hand is key. Rotating between garments helps keep you dry and extends the life of your compression wear.
This season is also a good time to reassess the fit and condition of your current garments. If your sleeve feels too loose, has lost elasticity, or no longer feels supportive, it might be time for a replacement. Our Certified Fitters can help ensure your garments continue to perform their job effectively.
Plan Ahead: Reorder Now to Stay Ahead of the End-of-Year Rush
Did you know that late summer and fall are some of the busiest times for medical garment reorders? Manufacturer lead times can get backed up, and insurance deadlines for the end of the year often fill appointment calendars fast.
That’s why we recommend reordering now—before the seasonal rush begins. Whether it’s a compression sleeve, post-surgical camisole, or other medical garment, Pretty In Pink Boutique can help you order what you need and guide you through the insurance billing process with ease.
Stay Cool, Supported, and Summer-Ready
Warm weather doesn’t have to mean discomfort. With the right garments, hydration habits, and planning, you can manage your care confidently all summer long.
