Who should not wear it
Please do not use these products if any of the following applies to you, and consult a doctor first if you are unsure:
- You wear a pacemaker, an implantable defibrillator, an insulin pump, a cochlear implant, or any other active electronic implant.
- You have metal implants, clips or fragments in the area where the product would sit.
- You are pregnant, or the product would sit over the abdomen.
- You have a skin wound, burn, rash or active infection in the area.
- You have a diagnosed circulatory or bleeding disorder.
These are standard precautions for magnetic products. They are not a claim that the product has an effect that would interfere — they are a reason to be careful with strong permanent magnets near the body.
How to measure for a correct fit
A magnetic wearable only performs as designed when it sits close to the body. Loose means the field drops by an order of magnitude
| Model | What to measure | How to measure |
|---|---|---|
| Magnetic Waist Belt / Waist Band | Waist circumference at the height you will wear it | Measure at the level of the navel, relaxed, not pulling the tape tight |
| Knee Magnetic Support | Thigh circumference about 10 cm above the kneecap, and calf about 10 cm below | Stand with the leg straight and the muscle relaxed |
| Wrist Magnetic Support / Wristband | Wrist circumference just below the wrist bone | Measure with the palm open, not clenched |
| Magnetic Head Cap | Head circumference above the ears | Run the tape around the widest point, roughly 2 cm above the eyebrows |
| Magnetic Gloves | Palm circumference and middle-finger length | Measure the dominant hand; if between sizes, choose the larger |
| Magnetic Foot Covers | Foot length from heel to longest toe | Measure while standing, in the socks you would wear with it |
If your measurement falls between two sizes, choose the smaller one for a support that must stay in place, and the larger one for a cover that must not press. Never choose a size that leaves a deep mark on the skin.
How long to wear it
| Situation | Suggestion | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| First week | 1–2 hours per session, once or twice a day | Check how your skin reacts before extending wear time |
| Everyday use | 2–4 hours per session, remove before sleeping unless the model is designed for it | Long continuous pressure is the usual cause of discomfort, not the magnets |
| Overnight | Only with the head cap; remove belts and supports | Sleep movement shifts belts out of position, and prolonged pressure can mark the skin |
| Exercise / heavy sweating | Remove afterwards and dry the product | Moisture and salt shorten the life of the fabric and the coating on the magnets |
If you feel numbness, tingling, or a mark that does not fade within 30 minutes of removal, the product is too tight. Stop wearing it and choose a larger size or a different model.
Care and cleaning
- Hand wash only, in cold or lukewarm water with a mild detergent. Do not machine wash.
- Do not wring or twist. Press the water out between two towels.
- Air dry flat, away from direct sun and away from any heat source. Never tumble dry.
- Never iron. Heat is the one thing that permanently reduces magnet strength.
- Do not dry-clean; the solvents affect both the fabric and the magnet coating.
The most common way to damage a magnetic product is heat, not wear. Leaving it on a car dashboard, tumble drying it, or ironing it can permanently reduce field strength. The same applies to storing it next to a strong magnet, a speaker or a magnetic phone mount.
Four common mistakes
1. Wearing it over thick clothing
Field strength falls from 1,500 G to 10 G at 5 cm. Over several layers you are effectively outside the designed range. Wear it on bare skin or over one thin layer.
2. Buying by the Gauss number alone
A higher rating at the magnet surface does not mean a stronger field at the skin. Distance and fit determine more than the peak figure.
3. Choosing a size too small for a support
A support that leaves a deep mark is restricting circulation. It is not "working harder".
4. Expecting a medical outcome
The products are not medical devices and no outcome is promised. If you need treatment for a condition, see a clinician.
