How do I care for my Terry products?
The best way is to turn the products inside out and machine wash ( max 60° Celcius ) and then tumble dry. This will allow the fibres to recover and the cushioning effect of the terry toweling will return.

How do I care for my Nylon products?
The best way is to hand wash and dry the products separately, do not tumble dry, do not iron and do not dry clean.

What is so special about Medalin Diabetic socks?
Our Diabetic socks have been developed to reduce any friction or irritation, this being the main cause of sores, that in a person who is diabetic or has other circulatory problems, can lead to ulcers. The socks are made from cotton to absorb moisture, with Lycra® to shape the sock to the foot. There is no elastic in the top part of the sock to cause restriction and the toe seam is perfectly flat so there is no rubbing of the toes.
