FAQs

Sizing & Fit

How do I choose the right size?

We recommend using our size guide for the best fit.

As a general rule:

– Bottoms (leggings & shorts): most customers prefer to size down for a snug, sculpting fit

– Tops & crops: some prefer to size up for comfort, depending on bust and preference

What if I’m between sizes?

If you’re between sizes, we recommend sizing down, especially for leggings and shorts.

They’re designed to feel snug at first and mould to your body as you wear them.

Are your pieces true to size?

Yes, but fit preference varies.

If you like a tighter, sculpted feel → size down

If you prefer a more relaxed fit → stay true to size or size up (especially for tops)

How do the leggings fit length-wise?

They’re full length if you’re around 165cm or under.

If you’re taller or have longer legs, they’ll sit more like a 7/8.

If you’re unsure on sizing before ordering, feel free to reach out — we’re always happy to help.

Product & Performance

Are your leggings squat-proof?

Yes, when worn in the correct size.

They’re made from a 260gsm fabric, so they’re thick enough to provide coverage while still feeling soft and breathable.

Do they stay up during workouts?

Yes. The waistband is designed to stay in place so you’re not constantly pulling them up mid-session.

Are your bras and crops supportive?

Our crops offer light to medium support.

Perfect for strength training, Pilates, yoga, walking, HIIT, and everyday wear.

If you have a larger bust, we wouldn’t recommend them for high-impact activities like running (yet).

What activities are they designed for?

Everything from workouts to real life.

Gym, Pilates, yoga, walking, travel, errands… these are pieces you’ll live in, not just train in.

Materials & Feel

What are your pieces made from?

Most of our pieces are made from 90% organic cotton and 10% elastane.

This gives you the softness and breathability of natural fibres, with just enough stretch to move and perform.

Are your fabrics breathable?

Yes. Natural fibres are breathable, soft on the skin, and designed for all-day comfort.

Are they sweat-wicking?

Not in the traditional sense.

Most “sweat-wicking” fabrics are chemically treated to hide sweat.

Because we focus on low-tox, natural materials, sweat may show… just as your body naturally releases it.

We like to think of it as a sign you actually trained.

Are your dyes low-tox?

Yes. We use OEKO-TEX® certified dyes, meaning they’re tested to be free from harmful levels of chemicals.

Is this suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes. Our pieces are designed to feel soft, breathable, and gentle on the skin.

Many customers notice the difference immediately compared to synthetic activewear.

Care

How should I wash my activewear?

Cold wash

Wash inside out

Use a mild detergent

Lay flat to dry

Can I use a dryer?

We don’t recommend it.

Heat can break down natural fibres and reduce the lifespan of your garments.

Will they lose shape over time?

With proper care, they’re designed to hold their shape well.

Because they’re made from natural fibres, they may behave slightly differently than synthetic fabrics over time.

Following care instructions will help maintain their fit and feel.

Pregnancy & Postpartum

Are these suitable for pregnancy or postpartum?

Many customers love them during this stage because they’re soft, stretchy, and non-restrictive.

That said, every body is different, so we recommend choosing what feels best for you.

A small note from us

We’re a small, intentional brand producing in limited quantities.

We really appreciate you taking care when trying on your pieces so we can continue offering returns and exchanges fairly.

Brand & Production

Why natural fibres over synthetics?

Natural fibres are breathable, softer on the skin, and typically require fewer chemical treatments than synthetic fabrics.

We choose organic cotton because it performs well for activewear and aligns with our low-tox approach.

What makes ODAAT different?

We don’t believe you should have to choose between performance and what feels right for your body.

Our pieces are made from natural fibres, low-tox dyes, and produced in small batches… creating activewear you can train in, live in, and feel good wearing.

Is your brand sustainable?

We focus on natural fibres, low-tox dyes, and small-batch production to reduce waste.

Our fabrics are GOTS and OEKO-TEX® certified, meaning they meet high international standards for safety and environmental responsibility.

Where are your products made?

We’re a New Zealand brand, and all pieces are designed here.

Our products are ethically manufactured with trusted partners in China who meet our quality and ethical standards.

Do you produce in small batches?

Yes. This helps reduce overproduction and keeps our process more intentional.

Payments & Support

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept major credit cards and secure payment options at checkout.

Do you offer gift cards?

Yes. Digital gift cards are available and valid for 12 months.

Can I apply a discount code after purchase?

These shorts are really comfortable. Different feel to Lycra shorts which is great. I sized down. Will definitely be buying more when new items are in stock.

Customer photo review of THE ICONIC SINGLET

Love the fabric and the design is really flattering. I got my usual size 12 but would go for a 14 next time. I have a long torso and it’s more cropped than I’d like but other than that it fits like a glove. Would love more colours.

THE ICONIC SINGLET

I love the fit and feel of the leggings and they are super comfy. The fabric is soft and moves with the body easily. I got size 14 and they fitted perfectly. These will be my new go to exercise pants for sure.

Customer photo review of THE FOCUS CROP

I LOVE this sports bra!! I've been looking for years for an organic cotton sports bra WITH padding but it has not existed until now!! I'm SO GRATEFUL to have been able to get my hands on one. And the pink is so cute! I will be buying the other style when it comes back in stock as well. It's SO comfortable and the fit is PERFECT. It doesn't dig in on me and the shoulder straps are adjustable. I took my normal size. I'm a 12 B and got a 10. I'm wearing it as a normal bra as well as I don't wear standard bras anymore. I can't wait for more styles and to try the leggings when more colours come out!

Loving my new ODAAT piece! I put it back on after washing lol. Also love that you’re New Zealand based, so easy to purchase and came in a couple of days! The only thing is I wish I sized up! The singlet is a little close under the armpits but otherwise the comfiest top, highly recommend :))

This crop is my go-to. Fits perfectly, feels cute and is nice to work out in. It’s been worn and washed many times and it’s kept its shape and condition well. Thanks for creating this gorgeous, quality number!

I bought these for a friend she she loves them! She was getting rid of her plastic sports tights and getting organic options. She sized down and said they are good. She could potentially size down 2 sizes.

THE DREAM LEGGINGS

Customer photo review of THE DREAM LEGGINGS

I LOVE THESE LEGGINGS!!! They’re so comfy & breathable! I went down a size (normally a 16, ordered a 14) and they fit perfectly apart they’re just a little shorter than I’d like (I’m 168 cm) but no biggie. LOVE LOVE can’t wait to see what’s coming next for this NZ brand 😊😊

THE DREAM LEGGINGS

Customer photo review of THE DREAM LEGGINGS

Love the feel of these!!! Unfortunately, I should have sized down. I'm postpartum and went for an 18 to be safe but they seem bigger than expected plus I've already started toning up again. I've worn them a few times and they feel great but keep slowly slipping down. I might need to tuck them away for pregnancy round two! I know I'll love them for that. I already plan on buying the smaller size.

Love this it’s comfortable, super cute and my kitten even loves it.

Customer photo review of THE DREAM LEGGINGS

Before you buy any ODAAT activewear you should be aware of the following: 1. Your other activewear will sit alone in the corner of your drawer because you will never wear them again. 2. The leggings feel like you’re wearing clouds, you could even mistake these for wearing nothing at all, so be careful to check you’re actually wearing anything before leaving the house. You have been warned! 3. If you prefer to support big multi-national brands instead of small local businesses who deeply care about you and the world ODAAT isn’t for you. 4. You may end up living in your activewear. But if you’re good with all of the above I highly recommend purchasing these lovingly made activewear products, you will almost definitely fall in love with them, I have.

Love these leggings. I sized down from my usual 12 To a 10 and they fit Perfectly :)

Customer photo review of THE MANIFEST CROP

This bra really bridges the gap of being both activewear and low tox - it feels like a proper (light intensity) gym crop. Comfy and a nice style. More suited to smaller boobs

THE MANIFEST CROP

Customer photo review of THE DREAM LEGGINGS

I absolutely LOOOOVE my ODAAT leggings. The fabric is thick, yet soft, not at all see through and have the perfect amount of stretch. I would suggest sizing down if you're between sizes. They don't cover the belly button on me, but I don't have a long torso! They stay up during a workout and the gusset design prevents the dreaded camel toe! Pockets are an added bonus and are a good size to fit your phone.

Customer photo review of GOAL GETTER BIKER SHORTS WITH POCKETS

Customer photo review of THE DREAM LEGGINGS

Such a comfy fit. I think I actually need to size down - wearing size 16 but postpartum is a weird and wonderful time so since ordering I’m ready for a size 14. Hoping this helps them to stay up! Absolutely love the material

THE DREAM LEGGINGS
