Fitting and Caring for Your WHOOP Strap
The WHOOP Strap is designed for athletes, to help them keep track of a
variety of metrics and to assess progress toward athletic goals. They are
designed to track these metrics, be comfortable, and look good. To get the
most out of your device, follow these tips to make sure your watch is fitted
comfortably and cared for properly.
Wearing Your WHOOP Strap
The WHOOP Strap should be placed on the wrist, about 1 cm above the
bone of your wrist (away from your hand). The WHOOP Strap should be
snug, but not too tight – just tight enough to ensure the sensors make solid
contact with your skin. If you can slide your pinky finger under the Strap,
it is likely too loose.
If you are experiencing discomfort or chafing, try either tightening or loos-
ening the band. For comfort, you may want to loosen the band after your
workout. Water and sweat may also cause irritation, so make sure your
watch and skin are dry once you’ve completed your workout. Consider
loosening it after a workout.
Caring for Your WHOOP Strap
It is a good idea to keep your WHOOP Strap clean. Remove it regularly
remove and thoroughly clean it in warm water to remove any accumulated
dirt or soap residue. Avoid soaps or cleansers that may irritate your skin
or damage the watch.
The WHOOP Strap’s materials have been used in a variety of wearables and
other athletic applications for several years. Our testing and experience
have shown that these materials are suitable for skin contact. Following
these simple steps will ensure your device performs as designed.
