How does THERMALSENSE® finish work?

The body's internal temperature sits around 37°C. Skin temperature is lower and naturally fluctuates depending on your surroundings, activity level, and individual sensitivity. THERMALSENSE® fabric helps maintain pleasant thermal comfort and an optimal microclimate at the skin's surface.

A workout, a hot day, a sudden flush of heat, or a cold morning all change how you feel in your clothing. That's why the BALANCE leggings fabric works with heat according to current conditions.

BALANCE leggings have invisible microcapsules integrated directly into the fabric fibers - far smaller than a grain of sand. Each one contains a so-called PCM substance (Phase Change Material), which can absorb heat or gradually release it again, depending on temperature changes.

1. When you warm up, the substance inside the capsules turns to liquid and absorbs excess heat.
2. When you cool down, the substance solidifies again and releases heat back toward your body.
3. The fabric responds directly to your skin and helps balance out temperature fluctuations while you wear it.
4. It works passively, powered only by your body's own heat.

The fabric's properties stay the same throughout - it remains breathable and soft to the touch, and the effect lasts for dozens of wash cycles, since the microcapsules are permanently bonded to the fiber.

Compression, even in summer

For women with lipedema, or those who experience a feeling of heavy and swollen legs, compression is part of everyday life - but in summer it can feel uncomfortably hot.

BALANCE leggings offer a solution for warmer days:

• Medium compression for all-day wear
• In summer, the fabric absorbs excess heat - giving you compression without excessive sweating
• In winter or cold conditions, the fabric gradually releases stored heat - supporting a pleasant feeling of thermal comfort
• No more choosing between "I need to wear compression" and "I want to feel comfortable"

For days when your body feels more sensitive to temperature

PMS, menopause, and hormonal changes can be linked to greater sensitivity to heat, cold, or shifting temperatures.

The BALANCE leggings fabric responds to temperature changes as you wear it, helping maintain a pleasant feeling of thermal comfort.

Practical benefits of BALANCE leggings

• A high, comfortable waistband that shapes without digging in

How to care for your BALANCE leggings

To preserve their shape, comfort, and fabric properties, wash BALANCE leggings inside out at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softener and bleach, don't tumble dry, and let them air dry.

BALANCE leggings are not a medical device, nor a substitute for medical compression therapy. Their effect is based on the properties of the fabric and individual experience while wearing them.

FAQ

What is THERMALSENSE®? It's a thermoregulating technology using microcapsules bonded directly to the fabric fiber. They contain so-called PCM (Phase Change Materials), which can absorb excess heat or release it again, depending on how your skin temperature changes.

How does the fabric "cool" and "warm" at the same time? It's not active cooling or heating. The fabric works as a thermal buffer: in heat, it helps absorb some of the excess warmth; in cold, it gradually releases the heat stored in the microcapsules. This can make wearing the leggings more comfortable even as temperatures shift.

Do I need to move for the technology to work? No. The technology responds to your body heat and the surrounding temperature, so it works even during everyday wear and rest.

What level of compression do BALANCE leggings have? Medium compression - designed for everyday comfort and supportive wear over long periods.

Are BALANCE leggings suitable for PMS, menopause, or hormonal changes? Yes - many women experience heightened sensitivity to heat, cold, or shifting temperatures during PMS, menopause, or hormonal changes. Thanks to the thermoregulating fabric, BALANCE leggings help maintain a more pleasant feeling of thermal comfort throughout the day. The perceived effect varies from person to person.

Are BALANCE leggings suitable for women with lipedema? Yes, BALANCE leggings are designed for women with lipedema who are looking for comfortable compression leggings, even on warmer days or for longer wear. With medium compression and a thermoregulating fabric, they're an ideal companion for travel, warm days, or long hours of wear. BALANCE leggings are not a medical device, nor a substitute for medical compression therapy. If you have been prescribed medical compression, please consult your doctor about whether these leggings are suitable for you.

Does the fabric lose its effect after washing? No. The microcapsules are permanently bonded to the fiber, so the thermoregulating effect lasts for dozens of wash cycles when cared for as recommended.

What activities are BALANCE leggings suitable for? Everyday summer wear, travel, light exercise, and long days on your feet - anywhere you'd appreciate compression with thermoregulating comfort.
