What level of compression do the Mary CORETECH® Shorts provide?
The Mary Shorts provide approximately 25+ mmHg medical-grade compression, with firm support concentrated around the core, pelvis, hips and upper legs.
Are the Mary CORETECH® Shorts designed for POTS?
Yes. Supacore specifically markets the Mary CORETECH® Shorts for POTS support. Their firm abdominal, pelvic and upper-leg compression is designed to help reduce blood pooling and support circulation and venous return when upright.
How can compression shorts help with POTS?
POTS can involve blood pooling in the abdomen and lower body when standing. Firm compression around the abdomen, pelvis and upper legs may help limit this pooling and support blood return toward the heart. Individual needs vary, so medical-grade compression should be discussed with a healthcare professional when appropriate.
Are these shorts designed for postpartum recovery?
Yes. Mary was designed with postpartum recovery in mind. The patented CORETECH® waistband provides targeted support around the abdomen, pelvis and lower back while the body recovers following pregnancy and childbirth.
Can I wear them after a C-section?
The Mary Shorts are designed for postpartum support, including recovery following C-section. Because healing timelines vary, consult your healthcare provider before applying firm compression over or near a healing incision.
What is CORETECH® technology?
CORETECH® is Supacore's patented compression system featuring a supportive high-compression waistband with integrated sacroiliac and core support. It works alongside body-mapped compression to provide targeted stability through the pelvis and surrounding muscles.
What's the difference between Mary and full-length CORETECH® leggings?
Mary concentrates compression around the abdomen, pelvis, hips and upper legs without extending to the ankles. It's a good option for customers who want substantial core and pelvic compression with less coverage than full-length leggings.
Can I wear the Mary Shorts every day?
They are designed for supportive everyday wear. Because they provide firm medical-grade compression, wear time should be based on personal comfort and any guidance provided by your healthcare professional.
How should I care for them?
Cold gentle machine wash inside out with like colors. Do not bleach, tumble dry, iron, dry clean or use fabric softener.
