Recovery wear sales surge as consumers seek fatigue relief

Recovery wear, designed to alleviate fatigue simply by wearing it, is experiencing a surge in popularity, leading to stock shortages. These garments, classified as general medical devices, utilize special fibers that reflect the body's far-infrared rays to improve circulation. One popular pajama set costs around 23,000 yen. Sales of recovery wear have more than doubled compared to the previous year, attracting a wider demographic including younger consumers through word-of-mouth.
