Your faja is your best friend during recovery, so you want it to last. Taking care of it the right way helps it keep its shape, support, and comfort. The good news is that a simple routine goes a long way.
Hand Wash Only
Medical-grade powernet is delicate, even though it feels strong and supportive. To protect the fabric, always wash your faja by hand using cold water and a mild detergent.
Avoid anything harsh, especially bleach. Strong products can break down the material and shorten the life of your garment. Be gentle when washing, and never scrub too hard.
Skip the Heat
This is the most important part: never use a dryer.
Heat can damage the elastic fibers that give your faja its support and compression. Once those fibers break down, the garment may lose its fit and effectiveness.
After washing, gently press out extra water with a towel and lay your faja flat to air dry. Keep it away from direct heat and let it dry naturally.
Rotation is Key
If you wear your faja every day, having two garments is one of the best things you can do. That way, one can dry while you wear the other.
Makayla and Ayana often recommend keeping a second option on hand so you can stay consistent with your compression without rushing the drying process. It is a simple way to make your routine easier and help both garments last longer.
