Gear Use and Care
Every item comes with a gear use and care sheet to help you take good care of your body and your gear. Check them out below!
These are general recommendations - please remember to listen to your body! Different brands fit different bodies in different ways, so certain styles or sizes may not look or feel the way you expect. You’re the expert in what feels right for you. Seek out extra support from healthcare professionals if you’re not sure about how something works or feels. Transformation Closet staff are program coordinators, not health experts, and are not responsible for any injuries related to gear use.
