Q&A

You May Also Like

How Does it Work?

What is MicroPerle® technology and how does it work?
It is a patented system, clinically tested and designed to act as the external pump to your lymphatic system. These beads are strategically mapped to provide a continuous, passive massage while you wear them.
Will this actually help with heavy or tired legs?
Many women wear Elastique on days when their legs feel heavy after extended sitting, standing, or travel. MicroPerle® combines gentle gradient compression with strategically placed beads that create continuous, light stimulation against the skin throughout the day. This design is intended to support circulation and provide a more supported, comfortable feel as you wear it. Individual experiences vary.
When would I wear these most?
Many women wear Elastique during long work days, travel days, or anytime they expect extended periods of sitting or standing.
They’re designed to integrate easily into your routine, whether that’s a day of meetings, a flight, or time on your feet. Some choose to keep more than one pair so they always have them available as part of their weekly rotation.
When would I feel a difference?
Some women notice a difference in how their legs feel the first time they wear Elastique, especially on long days of sitting, standing, or travel. Others find it becomes something they reach for regularly as part of their routine. Because every body and every day is different, the experience can vary.

Size Guide

Compression can be a new experience. We want you to have the best one! Our pieces generally run true to size and should fit comfortably snug. If you're between sizes, we recommend taking the larger of the two.

Inseam info

Our leggings are offered in different inseam lengths, depending on the style. This page is designed to help you understand what those measurements mean and choose the length that feels best for you.

The inseam (measured in inches) is the distance from the crotch seam to the bottom of the leg. It determines where the legging will fall on your leg — at the ankle, slightly above, or in a more cropped silhouette.

Beyond aesthetics, choosing the right inseam also helps avoid excess fabric, particularly around the ankle. Too much material can affect how graduated compression is distributed along the leg, which is why selecting the appropriate length is key to ensuring optimal performance and benefits.

 

Our inseams sizes

  • Long 30''
  • Full 27'' 

  • Cropped 25'' 

  • Capri 21''

 

Height & Style Guidelines (for reference)

    • 5’5” and under: 25” inseam is usually the best fit for a full-length look.

    • 5’6”: On the cusp — either 25” or 27” can work for full length.

    • 5’7” - 5’9” : 27” inseam is typically ideal for a full-length fit.

    • 6'0" and above: 30" inseam is typically ideal for a full-length fit.
Inseam Full 27'' 
5’7 and above
This inseam is designed to hit at or just above the ankle for most people, offering a classic, elongated silhouette.
Inseam Cropped 25''
5’6 and under
This inseam is ideal if you find standard leggings a bit too long or if you prefer a cleaner ankle fit without extra fabric.
Inseam Capri 21''
Depends on your height or preferred legging length.
Our most cropped option, designed to fall below the knee and above the calf.
