How to Wear & Care
For the smoothest fit and the best chest and stomach compression, step into the shirt and pull it up gradually instead of yanking it on from the top. That helps the fabric sit more evenly across the torso.
How to Wear Your Compression Shirt
Follow these steps every time to get the right fit without stressing the seams.
Always work from the bottom up — never pull the shirt on over your head or yank it off from the shoulders. The seams are engineered for compression, not for being stretched over your torso from the top down. ⚠️Removing the Shirt: Roll Down, Don't Pull Off To remove, grip the bottom hem and roll the shirt downward over your hips and legs, then step out. Never yank the shirt over your shoulders — the bottom-up technique protects the seams both going on and coming off.
Machine wash cold or low temperature
Gentle washing helps preserve compression and fabric recovery.
Hang dry for best results
You can use a low-temperature dryer briefly, but hang drying is best for maintaining shape and elasticity.
Do not bleach or iron
High heat and harsh chemicals can shorten the life of the fabric and reduce compression.
A cleaner look under clothes, without bulky layers
The goal is simple: help your shirts sit better over your chest and stomach. Esteem compression tops are built to smooth the appearance of the chest, reduce cling in problem areas, and create a more controlled silhouette under your clothes. Instead of layering loose shirts and hoping for the best, you start with a stronger base layer underneath.
