Frequently Asked Questions About Cotton Workout Clothes
Q1: Are Akiso cotton workout clothes 100% cotton?
Yes. Every piece is made from 100% natural cotton — no polyester, no elastane, no synthetic blends. Just pure cotton that breathes with your skin.
Q2: What is your return and exchange policy?
We offer 7-day easy returns and exchanges. If you're not satisfied with your cotton workout clothes, initiate a return within 7 days of delivery. Items must be unworn, unwashed, and with original tags. Refunds are processed to your original payment method within 5-7 business days. Exchanges are free — just mention your preferred size while raising the request.
Q3: How do I wash cotton exercise clothes?
Machine wash cold on gentle cycle. Tumble dry low or line dry. Cotton naturally shrinks slightly on first wash — we pre-shrink all fabric before stitching, so fit stays true. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners to keep the cotton fibers intact.
Q4: How long does shipping take?
We dispatch all orders within 24-48 hours. Standard delivery takes 3-5 business days across India. Metro cities usually receive orders within 2-3 days. You'll receive tracking details via SMS and email as soon as your order ships.
Q5: Do you charge for shipping?
Shipping is FREE on all orders above ₹999. Below that, a flat ₹49 shipping fee applies. Cash on Delivery (COD) is available with a ₹50 COD charge — prepaid orders get priority dispatch.
Q6: Will cotton gym clothes show sweat stains?
Cotton absorbs moisture rather than wicking it like synthetics. For intense cardio sessions, darker colors (black, navy) work best. For yoga and low-impact workouts, any shade is fine. Cotton also doesn't hold odour like polyester does — just wash after use and you're sorted.
Q7: Are these clothes suitable for hot yoga?
Absolutely. Cotton's breathability makes it ideal for hot yoga. The natural fibers allow air circulation, preventing that sticky, trapped feeling you get with synthetic activewear. Many of our customers specifically buy Akiso for Bikram and hot yoga.
Q8: How do I find my correct size?
Each product page has a detailed size chart with waist, hip, and length measurements in inches. Measure yourself with a measuring tape and compare. If you're between sizes, size up for a relaxed yoga fit or size down for a snug athletic fit. Still unsure? WhatsApp us your measurements and we'll recommend the perfect fit.
Q9: How do I contact customer care?
We're here to help. Reach us via:
- WhatsApp: +91-[number] (10 AM – 7 PM, Mon–Sat)
- Email: care@akiso.in
- Instagram DM: @akiso.studio
Average response time is under 2 hours during business hours. For order-specific queries, keep your order ID handy for faster resolution.
Q10: Do you offer men's cotton athletic wear?
Yes. Our men's collection includes Prithvi cotton yoga pants, Tejas cotton tops, Rajas black yoga pants, and Sattva sets — all 100% cotton in earth tones. Same 7-day return policy and free shipping applies.
Q11: Can I modify or cancel my order after placing it?
Yes, if your order hasn't been dispatched yet. Message us on WhatsApp or email within 12 hours of placing the order with your order ID and the change requested. Once dispatched, the order can't be modified — but you can still return or exchange after delivery.
Q12: Is cotton better than polyester for yoga?
For yoga specifically — yes. Cotton provides better grip on the mat, doesn't slide during poses, and lets skin breathe during long holds. Polyester traps heat and creates static that can interfere with grounded poses.
Q13: What makes Akiso cotton "Sattvik"?
Sattvik means pure, clean, and aligned with yogic principles. Our cotton is unbleached where possible, uses natural dyes for colored pieces, and contains zero chemical finishes. It's the cleanest cotton athletic wear you can buy.
