why the periodic elements ?
At continuall, we believe that everyone should feel confident and comfortable in their own skin. We understand that bodies come in all shapes and sizes, and our innovative sizing system embraces this diversity and also acknowledges the uniqueness of each individual.Say goodbye to traditional labelling by sizes and hello to alternate sizing system inspired by the periodic elemental chart. Our aim is to eliminate the stigma associated with sizing labels and provide a more engaging and empowering experience for our customers.
We understand this may be confusing at first glance, so here is a conversion chart so you know you are getting the right fit! We also understand how frustrating it can be to have to measure yourself to find the right product, but trust us, when it comes to compression you have to be in the right fit. We also know that not everyone has a tape measure handy, so we have found an easy and fun way (!) to measure.
how to measure for your fit/element
pregnant and measuring for postpartum?
hot tips for finding your fit ...
pregnancy
We've designed our pregnancy leggings with room for your growing bump... we know once you first put them on they might feel a bit snug, but trust us, the belly material and flexible seam stretches with you as you grow and provides the support you need around the belly and legs. The material is designed so you feel supported in the legs and abdomen from the early days of pregnancy all the way to full term.
We suggest you measure your hips to find what element you are and stick with that element. If you're in between elements, and further along in pregnancy (30 weeks +) size up.
*Disclaimer - It should feel snug through the abdomen, but not restrictive in movement.
postpartum
We suggest taking your current hip measurement (if you are pregnant this can be measured under your bump at the widest point of your hips) and comparing with our size guide to help you find the best fit.
If you find you are in between elements, we suggest to size down for compression benefits.
*Disclaimer - We have designed our tights to be supportive but not restrictive, they should feel snug around the abdomen and legs, and the waistband tight around the lower ribs.
