Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the fit is still too snug for your preference, consider sizing up or looking for a looser-fit style.
Fabric pilling after washing
Always follow the care instructions. Wash inside out on a gentle cycle and avoid high heat drying. Using a fabric shaver can help remove small pills.
Waistband feels restrictive
Ensure the waistband is not folded over, which can increase pressure. If discomfort persists, the tight fit may not be suitable for your needs.
