🇺🇸 US Orders & Shipping

How do you ship?

In order to limit the distance your items travel and avoid extra CO2, we keep our goods consolidated in a fulfillment center near our main factory in Guangzhou, China and then ship out from there. (Rather than shipping everything from our SA8000-certified factory in Vietnam to a bunch of different warehouses and re-shipping it yet again to you.) We also have a fulfillment center in Tecate, Mexico, where we keep some pieces primarily heading to the US, where the majority of our orders are from.

When will my order arrive?

All orders ship within 1-4 business days of the order date. Once your order ships, you'll receive a shipping confirmation email with tracking. Please note that we do not offer expedited shipping at this time. We ship all orders via a Standard shipping method with the following carriers:

Fit & Sizing

Fit Tips:

Our size guide is a general guideline for helping you find your Girlfriend size. You can check it out here with your measurements handy. If you're between sizes, we suggest sizing down for a more compressive fit, or sizing up for a more relaxed fit.

Trying on your new gear or have questions? Email or chat with us, we’d love to help. In the meantime here are some fit tips!


Bras: 

Our bras should fit snug to keep you supported but shouldn't dig or have too much space in the straps or under the bust. We recommend using a tape measure to find your perfect fit. 

Leggings:

Leggings should feel snug to the body, without any excess fabric in the waist, knees, or bottom hem. Our best-selling Compressive collection will feel quite snug and tight on your first wear. Don’t be alarmed — this is totally normal. You’ll start to feel them slightly relax and mold to your body with more wear. Just like that perfect pair of vintage jeans.


How do I find my measurements?


Are your garments true to size?

The short answer is yes. We design our garments to fit true to size and we work hard to ensure everything has the best fit for the widest range of body types. But all bodies are different so we do our best to take your feedback to improve the fit, cut, or sizing when we produce a garment again.


Have more questions on fit? Feel free to send us the following information on our contact form or on our chat.

Wider ribcage, small cups:

  • Luxe Bras

  • FLOAT Bras

  • Go with true bust size in Compressive styles

Small ribcage, large cups:

  • Luxe Bras

  • FLOAT Bras

  • Avoid longline Compressive styles or go with one size down (sizing down will result in a more compressive fit)

  • Adjustable bra styles

Wider waist vs hips:

  • If in between two sizes, go with the size that best fits your waist

  • If across multiple sizes, go with the middle size

Wider hips vs waist:

  • If in between two sizes, go with the size that best fits your waist (or size up if a relaxed fit is preferred in Compressive)

  • If across multiple sizes, go with the middle size

Long torsos & Unitards:

  • We recommend going 1 size up from your normal size — this will result in a more relaxed fit

Have more questions on fit? Feel free to send us the following information on our contact form or on our chat.

You may notice some of our colors have a different hand-feel. Each color goes through a unique dyeing and brushing process, which results in some feeling a little stretchier than others — but rest assured, all of our colors carry the same durability, compression, and quality across the board.

Please note that there will be slight variations in a color across different fabrics. We recommend purchasing a set in the same fabric (Compressive, FLOAT, etc) for a perfect match.

Product Information & Care

We conducted a PFAS test with Bureau Veritas (BV), a French company founded in 1828 and renowned for its long history in testing, inspection, and certifications.


We tested all of our core fabrics (Compressive, FLOAT, ReSet, Luxe and our Ripstop windbreakers) for PFAS, all of which came back Not Detected.

Wash in cold water with like colors, and hang to dry — it’s better for the environment and reduces energy use in addition to being the best way to take care of your clothes. Actually, you might want to consider doing this with your entire wardrobe…

Bonus points for washing your garments in a microfiber washing bag or with a microfiber filter. Psst, we make one of those here.

This is a tricky one.

We have certain collections that are a part of our core Girlfriend product line, which we restock periodically. (Unfortunately, we don’t have set dates for our restocks, but we try to let you know as soon as we get word.)

Our Essential colors (Black, Moss, Midnight, Plum and Earth) are restocked year-round.

For our seasonal limited color collections, we rarely (if ever) restock them. As a slow fashion company, we produce these limited color collections in smaller quantities to avoid overproduction (because waste is gross and there’s nothing more wasteful than overproduction). We try to restock if there’s a demand, but the health of our planet and the people who make your clothes come first. So, if an item you like is in stock in your size and color, get it while it’s hot — and, you know, available.

If you see an item you want out of stock on the site, simply click the “JOIN WAITLIST” button on the product page. This will automatically sign you up for notifications should this product ever come back into stock. 

P.S. You may notice some of our core styles don’t restock for a while. We get that it can be a bummer, but please rest assured we are on it! Everything just takes a bit more time since we don’t keep excess fabric on hand. For example, our windbreakers take up to 6 months to produce, but as soon as we realize we’re sold out, we place that order! 


We get it — no one wants a see-through legging. That’s why all of ours are opaque, with the majority of colors being 100% sheer-proof. However, our lighter colors (like Ivory, Citrine, etc.) are our only ones that are not 100% sheer-proof, so we recommend wearing underwear that matches your skin tone just in case.

Our leggings are also sweat-wicking, this means that your sweat quickly rises to the outer surface of your leggings and dries, instead of saturating the fabric. So although you may see some sweat poking through, these marks won’t last long!

We do offer e-Gift Cards! We send ours via email, so you can keep it to yourself or forward it to a friend.  Discounts and rewards are not applicable towards e-Gift Card purchases. An e-Gift Card can not be used towards another e-Gift purchase. E-Gift Cards are considered final sale and are non-returnable.

Sustainability & Manufacturing

We want to be as transparent as possible, so we're happy to share our certifications with you.

Our factory is SA8000 certified, which you can read about here, and view our certification here. This certification promises that our operation adheres to those super strict regulations that keep factory employees well-paid, safe, and living healthy lives.

Our recycled fabric is certified Standard 100 by Oeko-Tex, the world’s leader in testing fabrics to regulate harmful substances. They make sure every fabric’s origin and contents are totally upfront, so you know exactly what you’re putting on your body. See our certifications here and here.

Did you know all synthetic fabrics shed tiny pieces of plastic called microfibers in the wash? (It’s true. Even your favorite cozy fleece, swimwear, underwear, vintage dress, and, yep, Girlfriend leggings.) We recommend washing all of your synthetics in a washing bag or filter.

Every year, millions of marine animals – like sea turtles, seals, dolphins, and whales – are harmed by ocean plastic pollution. About 10% of the estimated 14 billion pounds of trash discarded in the ocean annually is made up of abandoned, lost, or discarded fishing gear.

That’s why we make our Maternity Collection with ECONYL®, a fiber made from recycled fishing nets and other waste that would otherwise be discarded into oceans and landfills. By using this recycled material, we help clean our oceans, recycle that waste, and cut out the need for raw materials like crude oil, which are traditionally used in the production of nylon.

The dyeing process is often environmentally destructive, with many facilities opting for non eco-friendly dyes and chemicals, and choosing to dump wastewater freely into water sources like streams and rivers. If you look at photos of rivers that flow by cities involved in garment manufacturing, you will often notice bright blue or red water that enters the water tables that the community uses. This water not only damages the environment but is extremely harmful to people and crops that depend on their water sources to survive.

Guess what? We weren’t into it, so we didn’t accept it.

Our facility should be the standard for how wastewater should be treated. Every single drop of water that is used to dye our fabric gets sent to our wastewater treatment plant literally 100 feet away from the machines. It doesn’t even have time to think about escaping.

There, the water gets treated to separate out our OEKO-certified safe dyes and stray fibers. When everything is separated, we measure the water to make sure it’s safe to release. The devices that measure this are set up to send information in real time to the Taiwanese EPA. With their approval, we discharge the water into a healthy stream where it goes on its merry way.

Most facilities dump dye mud in the landfill, but we decided to get creative. Our dye mud is sent to a pavement facility, where it’s transformed to be used for paving stones, making sidewalks better for the community.

From fiber to fabric, we need to look at every step and make sure we know its impact.

After all the bottles are sorted into their respective categories (#1, #2, #3, and #4 plastic), they are sent to their processing centers. Our leggings and bras are made from #1 plastic - or Polyethylene Terephthalate, also known as PET. Fun fact: All polyester (recycled or not) is derived from this type of plastic.

Our bottles are sorted, cleaned, and chipped into feedstock at the center. Our processing center is pretty special. It’s owned by a respected Taiwanese family that has been at the forefront of the recycling industry for decades.

We visited the facility, and were blown away by what we learned. It’s not only trusted by the Taiwanese government, it’s certified by them too. Being government certified means more than just having a certificate hanging on your wall saying that you can process plastic to resell. It means security measures are implemented and each facility is subject to accountability for how much plastic is taken in and how much is shipped out.

Why is being certified so important? It is a well-known fact in the recycling industry that in places like China with loose certifications and accountability standards, many will lie about where they get their plastic. It’s actually much easier to buy new plastic water bottles and recycle them, than to collect and sort post-consumer bottles. Often, recyclers will recycle brand new bottles as post-consumer bottles and sell them at a higher price to brands that are trying to use recyclables in their products. Gross.

At our facility, we have watched as bales of post-consumer bottles from all over Taiwan arrive at the facility. Each bale is weighed and logged. From there the bales go into a steam wash to remove caps and labels. After the caps and labels are removed, the bottles are sorted by color. We use the clear bottles for our fibers, and the colored bottles get sent elsewhere to be processed for myriad other uses.

Once the color sorting is done, we shred them down into tiny chips, wash them again, and place them in transport bags to be shipped to our manufacturing facility. Each bag is weighed and logged again to make sure that the output is equal to input. This ensures that we have an accurate count for how many bottles were used and can verify that they were the same bottles processed at arrival.

As soon as our spinning mill takes the delivery of our raw PET chips from the recycling center, the bags of chips go through another wash, and are dried. Once they dry, the chips get sent to storage silos and are sent to a machine where the chips get heated up and extruded into long thick spaghetti like strands. From there, they are chipped down to little pellets.

The pellets then get reheated and are extruded again to make superfine threads that are spun together into our yarn. From there they are spun onto large bobbins, packaged, and sent to our knitting factory.

Our knitting process is unlike almost anything in the industry.

Our fabric is softer and more stable than your standard single-jersey. This process requires time and precision, which means each of our knitting machines can only produce about 100 pairs-worth of fabric in a 24-hour period.

Great question!

Taiwan, where we source all of our post-consumer water bottles, used to be called “Garbage Island". A small island nation of 23 million people, the government saw the danger of ignoring the problem, and through widespread change has transformed Taiwan into a world leader in recycling, with 55% of waste being recycled (as opposed to 35% in the US).

Recycling is a community affair in Taiwan. Each night people gather to sort their waste into containers as a community — recyclables, food waste, and garbage. Rather than leave, they stay and talk until the trucks come and pick it up, turning what could be a tedious affair into a connective one.

Programs and volunteer groups have sprung up all over Taiwan to help bring this community spirit outside of city centers. We spent time documenting the Tzu Chi Foundation, which sets up micro-recycling centers in rural areas across Taipei. Run mostly by retired people, they set up drop-off points to both give people access and education to recycling, and to promote environmental stewardship in their free time.

Our fabric is dyed with eco-friendly dyes and the wastewater is carefully cleaned and cooled before it is released. (We even donate the dye mud to a local pavement facility where it’s recycled into sidewalks and roads.)

The unique dyeing process can result in some irregularities in color, which are not considered damages. Please note colors may run at first, so we recommend washing your new leggings separately or with similar colors just in case.

SA8000 is a social accountability standard and certificate developed by Social Accountability International (SAI). They created this certification to help and protect workers worldwide by providing a standardized guideline to protect the integrity of workers’ conditions and wages. SA8000 overlaps with Fair Trade certification, but while Fair Trade is predominantly used for farming, SA8000 is a certification used in factory conditions.

All of our textiles are made from recycled materials in our facility in Taiwan that specializes in eco-friendly and high-quality textiles, then cut-and-sewn in our SA8000 certified factory in Hanoi, Vietnam, that guarantees fair wages, safe and healthy conditions, and zero forced or child labor. 

Why Vietnam and not the USA?
You may not know it, but a lot of the best manufacturers for high-performance fabrics are located overseas. We know - we looked. The United States has great manufacturers for basic knitwear, but for our premium activewear, the only machines up to the challenge were in Vietnam. Once we found our SA8000 certified manufacturer, we knew it was a match. Quality is everything to us, and we wanted to make sure we gave you the best product at the best price that you could find.

We're like the earth's number one fan, so being eco-friendly is at the top of our priorities, as is giving you as much information as possible. Here’s a breakdown of some of our products and how it stacks up.

Packaging
Our packaging is 100% recycled and recyclable, so don’t throw it away!

Compressive Leggings + Bras
Made from 79% recycled polyester (or RPET) and 21% spandex, our leggings are made from 25 recycled post-consumer bottles and our bras are made from 11.

Maternity Leggings
Made from recycled fishing nets and other waste using ECONYL® yarn, our Maternity fabric is made up of 83% recycled nylon and 17% spandex.

Did you know almost all synthetic activewear is made from plastic? We just make ours with materials that would otherwise clog landfills and pollute the earth. It all starts with 100% post-consumer water bottles that have their labels removed, are crushed into billions of minuscule chips, and then washed until they’re sparkling clean.

After a bunch of science stuff with names like “polymerization,” you get a soft, recycled yarn that eliminates the need for petroleum and diverts water bottles from landfills at the same time. 

We partner with EcoCart to provide a carbon-neutral option for all orders placed on our site. EcoCart directs the carbon offset funds to certified carbon offset projects like planting trees or building wind farms. They have scoured the globe for carbon offset projects that are truly additive (meaning new), permanent, and without unintended consequences (i.e., creating more carbon elsewhere, like a game of Whack-a-Mole). All of their projects are independently certified to internationally recognized standards. 

Every project they fund is triple-verified, which means:


1. The project's financials, management team, project site, and carbon reduction method are carefully vetted.

2. At least on of the world's major carbon standards reviews the project.

3. Global Offset Research verifies the project against a second list of international standards.


In addition to carbon reduction, they pride themselves on the fact that all of their projects include an element of social good such as protecting an endangered species of animal or creating local jobs.

Your order subtotal must be at least $50 to redeem any points. If you are still running into any issues, please email or chat us so we can help!

Your points will only expire if we haven’t registered any activity (like sending your referral link, completing a referral, placing an order, posting a review, or creating an account) on your account for 12 months.

Once you’ve earned your tier, you will retain that tier for 12 months. To maintain your tier status you will need to spend the minimum amount required for that tier before your 12 months are up to requalify. If a member does not requalify for their previously held tier, they will be moved to the tier they are eligible for at the end of the 12 month period.

For example: If you earn Sage on 8/1/23, you will have to place orders totaling $450+ before 8/1/24 or you will be moved to the appropriate tier.

We don’t allow code stacking in a single order. You can only use one discount code or reward point offer on a single $50+ purchase in one of the following ways:


100 points = $5

300 points = $15

500 points = $25

If you recently hit our Jade or Sage Tier (congrats!), you’ll receive extra points in your account after you’ve passed the return date of your most recent purchase.

Your order subtotal must be at least $50 to redeem any points. If you are still running into any issues, please fill out our contact form or chat us so we can help!

If you return your entire purchase, the points you used on that order will be returned to your account within 1-2 business days from the day you receive your refund confirmation email. 

If you're returning a portion of your purchase, points used will not be returned to your account since the points are still applied to your order total.


What if I purchased carbon neutral shipping?

Sometimes our system can be a bit finnicky! If you’ve returned all of your Girlfriend items from an order with our carbon-neutral shipping option and haven’t received your points back, please contact our team at [email protected] so we can help you out!


You'll receive a 300-point bonus for every 5 orders you place that have a minimum order value of $125 each. You can track your progress for this reward on your account homepage under "Rewards History".

Only reviews that are placed through our review request email will count towards your point balance. This is an email that will arrive about 30 days after you've placed an order. 

Reviews placed directly through our website will not give you any points in your Collective account nor will you be able to submit a photo with your review.

Please note that you will only receive one review request per order, not per item. If you haven’t received your review request email within 30 days of your purchase date, we recommend checking your spam folder. Sometimes it gets sent there. :(


Why haven't I received a review request email for my purchase?

You also may not have gotten a Review Request for any of the following reasons:

  1. We've reached the limit.
    1. The maximum number of review request emails we can send you through our email provider within 30 days is 5. If we've sent you too many emails, you won't receive that Review Request.
  2. If you've already reviewed the same product type in the past 12 months.
    1. For example, if you've submitted a review for a Black Paloma Bra, you won't be able to submit a review for a Plum Paloma Bra.
  3. If you received three Review Request emails asking to review the same product.


How do I submit a Photo Review?

After you submit your written review via our review request email, you will be redirected to a page where you can upload your photo(s) of you wearing the product. We recommend using one of these file types: JPEG, JPG, or PNG format.

Once you are done, hit “submit” again and your review and photos will be sent in to us for approval. Once your review and photo are approved by us, we’ll load 40 points into your Collective account. If you do not wish to add a photo, you can still submit a text-only review to receive 10 points to your Collective account.

*Please note that 10 points for your text review will be added to your account while your photo is being approved. Once approved, the remaining 40 points will be added. This approval process takes approximately 3-5 business days from the day you confirmed your review.

*Make sure your images are of the correct item, are good quality (aka no blurry shots), and clearly display the product on your body. Otherwise, your review won’t be approved and you’ll miss out on the points.

Refer a Friend is our referral program that allows you to share a code with friends and receive a free Compressive High-Rise Legging or Compressive Mid-Rise Legging after they buy. Share your personalized link to give your friend 30% off their first purchase of $150 or more (excludes purchases of ReGirlfriend labels, gift cards, shipping, and taxes), and once their order is confirmed, you’ll receive an email with a discount code you can use to redeem your free pair!

You can send your customized link to as many friends as you’d like, but you may not refer yourself through the creation of multiple email addresses. Not that you’d do that anyway...

Note that your friend’s first purchase with the use of a gift card as payment do not count towards a successful referral.

How do I refer a friend?

  1. Head over to our Refer-A-Friend page here.
  2. Enter your friend’s email address into the field
  3. Select Next — Your friend will receive an email with your referral link to make their first purchase.


How will my friend receive their discount code?
Once your friend clicks on the referral link you sent to them, they will be redirected to our site and will see a pop-up asking them to confirm their email address. Once their email address verified, they will see a discount code they can copy and paste into the discount box at checkout to redeem their offer.


What leggings can I get with my referral reward?
Free legging codes can be redeemed only for the Compressive High-Rise Leggings or  Compressive Mid-Rise Leggings and exclude new limited colors (within 30 days of launch) or style releases. Please note that styles purchased with a Free Legging Code cannot be returned or exchanged. 

Each code is single-use and can only be used once. Cannot be applied to previous purchases. Cost of shipping is not included. Codes cannot be combined with other offers and cannot be used on gift cards.

We reserve the right to end, pause, or disable the program at any time. Free leggings earned before we end/pause/disable will be valid as usual, but once the program is on hold, there will be no discount for the referred or free legging reward. Please refer to our full terms & conditions here.

Can I use more than one discount code?

Stacking promo codes is a no-go. Only one special promo, discount link, reward offer, or referral code may be applied per order. We do not allow any discount stacking of any kind. This includes, but is not limited to, any special promotions like seasonal sales or Refer a Friend.

My discount code doesn't work!

I can't find Catch at checkout. Where is it?

If you are having trouble finding Catch at checkout in order to make a purchase or redeem credits, one of two things might be happening:

1. You are in ShopPay: 

ShopPay sometimes automatically redirects users to it without giving you a choice of payment method. If you notice you are in ShopPay, just scroll to the bottom and click "Check out as guest". That will allow you to input your shipping information and select Catch as a payment method on the last step of the flow. 



2. You have a gift card in your cart: 

Unfortunately, you can't use Catch to buy gift cards. If you have one in your cart, Catch won't appear as an option at checkout. 

Feel free to reach out to us at [email protected] or chat with us! We'd be more than happy to help. :)

ReGirlfriend

ReGirlfriend, powered by SuperCircle, is our garment recycling program that takes back Girlfriend and non-Girlfriend brand clothing and rewards you with store credit.


We first launched ReGirlfriend in 2019 in an effort to keep Girlfriend Collective as circular as possible. But circularity goes far beyond the Girlfriend world. In partnership with SuperCircle, we're now able to reward you for keeping clothes from any brand away from the landfill, on top of still turning your old Girlfriend into new Girlfriend of course.


How does it work?

We take back clothes from ANY brand and given their condition, we either recycle them or upcycle them into new Girlfriend clothes.

We offer $10 credit (per item) of Girlfriend brand clothes or $5 credit (per item) for non-Girlfriend brand clothes. Simply create an account, start a takeback, and get your free shipping label to send back your old stuff.

Please note that you may only redeem credits up to 30% off your order total. For example, if your order total is $100 and you have a total of $50 in SuperCircle credits, you may only redeem a maximum amount of $30 in credits.

Who can participate in the ReGirlfriend program?

Sorry, international friends — this program is only available in the US for now. We hope to expand in the future, so stay tuned!

What can I send in?

We accept any items in any condition whether that be stained, ripped, or broken. We just ask that you launder everything before sending it our way. Once received, we'll sort and recycle your items for a second life — from new textiles to new projects, including furniture batting, insulation, and padding — sending nothing to landfill.

For a full breakdown, check out the SuperCircle recycling page here.

How many items can I send in?

You can send in multiple items at a time. In fact, we encourage you to consider recycling more than one item at a time. All you have to do is click all the items you want to recycle and select them all to initiate recycling. Please note that you can only have one active recycling shipment at a time — once we receive the shipment and it is processed, then you can initiate a new recycling process.

How long do I have to ship my goods once I initiate the recycling process?

Once you have initiated the recycling process and downloaded your shipping label, you have 30 days to ship your goods. If goods are not shipped within the allotted time, you have to reinitiate the recycling process and download a new label.

How long does it take for my ReGirlfriend/SuperCircle credit to arrive?

• Once you initiate the recycling process, you will receive a prepaid shipping label in your SuperCircle Account and via email.
• Drop off your shipment with your prepaid shipping label.
• Once your shipment has been dropped off, you will receive your recycling credit in your SuperCircle account.
• You'll receive credits for each item you recycle.


How many ReGirlfriend/SuperCircle credits can I use on an order?

You may use one SuperCircle code (i.e. credit) on a single purchase. Your SuperCircle credit cannot be combined with any other credits, discount codes, or loyalty points.

How much do I have to spend to use my ReGirlfriend/SuperCircle credit?

Your promo code value (credit value) will be worth 30% off your next order. For example, if your order is $100, you can redeem up to $30 in credits. 

Does my ReGirlfriend/SuperCircle credit expire?

Never — that’s the best part.


What if I return a purchase in which SuperCircle credits were used?

SuperCircle credits are one-time use and are not refilled should you return your purchase partially or in full.
