At Mama Movement, we believe in creating vibrant, high-quality activewear that’s designed to keep up with your every move—and made to last. Our commitment to sustainability means each piece is crafted with recycled materials, so by caring for your activewear, you’re also helping reduce waste and keep our planet bright and beautiful!
To ensure your Mama Movement leggings, shorts, and crops stay as fresh, colourful, and comfortable as the day you bought them, here’s our guide to activewear care.
1. Wash with Love 💖
-
Machine Wash Cold: Wash your activewear in cold water on a gentle cycle. Cold water helps protect the high-performance fibres and preserve those joyful colours.
-
Wash with Similar Colours: Our prints are bold and beautiful—just like you! Keeping similar colours together helps them stay that way.
-
Turn Inside Out: This small step helps prevent fading and friction on the printed design, so the colours stay vibrant, wash after wash.
2. Skip the Softener 🚫
Fabric softeners may make clothes feel nice, but they aren’t kind to activewear! Softeners can coat the recycled polyester fibres, reducing breathability and stretch over time. For a cleaner, fresher feel, leave the softeners out.
3. Avoid the Dryer ☀️
Heat from dryers can damage the elasticity in your activewear. Instead, lay flat or hang to air dry. This method keeps the fabric’s stretch, shape, and colour intact for longer wear.
4. Use Your Free Wash Bag 🧼
Each Mama Movement activewear order currently includes a complimentary wash bag. Use it! This helps prevent pilling, protects fabric from friction, and ensures your pieces last through your toughest workouts, school drop-offs, and weekend adventures. Using a wash bag is especially important when washing any of our hookback sports crops, as you wouldn't want those hooks catching on any other clothes in the wash, and getting bent out of shape!
5. Freshen Up with a Vinegar Soak ✨
If you’re tackling any lingering odours, give your activewear a quick soak in a mix of one part white vinegar to four parts cold water for 15–20 minutes before washing. This natural solution helps neutralise odours without harsh chemicals, keeping your activewear fresh and ready for action.
Caring for Your Activewear = Caring for the Planet
Every Mama Movement piece is designed to celebrate you, made from recycled materials that help reduce landfill waste. When you care for your activewear, you’re not only extending its lifespan but also supporting a more sustainable future. Let’s keep those colours alive, those prints bold, and our planet smiling.
