FAQs
What is the primary purpose of these cycling shorts?
These cycling shorts are primarily designed to be worn as an undergarment to prevent chafing and discomfort under dresses and skirts, providing a smooth and comfortable layer.
What material are the shorts made from?
They are made from responsibly sourced cotton, offering breathability and a soft, comfortable feel against the skin.
Can I wear these shorts for actual cycling or sports?
While comfortable, these shorts are optimized for preventing chafing under everyday clothing. For active cycling or sports, specialized athletic shorts made with moisture-wicking synthetic materials are typically recommended for better performance and sweat management.
How do I determine my correct size?
We recommend consulting the official Yours Clothing size guide for accurate measurements. Selecting the correct size is crucial for the shorts to provide optimal comfort and chafing prevention.
What is the approximate inseam length?
The inside leg length of these shorts is approximately 25cm or 10 inches, providing good coverage to prevent thigh-rubbing.
Are these shorts suitable for all seasons?
Thanks to their breathable cotton material, they are particularly excellent for warmer weather as an anti-chafing solution. They can also be worn year-round under various outfits for added comfort.
Troubleshooting
Chafing still occurs despite wearing the shorts.
First, verify that you have the correct size. Shorts that are too loose may shift and allow skin-on-skin contact, while shorts that are too tight might cause discomfort or roll. Consult the size guide and ensure the shorts fit smoothly without pulling or gaping. If the shorts fit correctly, consider wearing a thin layer of anti-chafing balm on areas prone to irritation as an added measure.
The shorts feel uncomfortable or roll down/up.
This often indicates a sizing issue. If the waistband rolls down, the shorts might be too small or too large, or you might be wearing them too high or low. If the legs roll up, they may be too tight or the stretch has been compromised. Refer to the size chart and consider trying a different size for optimal comfort and fit. Ensure the shorts are pulled up fully and positioned correctly before wearing your outer garment.
Fabric feels rough or loses softness after washing.
Ensure you are following the care instructions for cotton. Using harsh detergents, excessive heat during washing or drying, or overloading your washing machine can affect fabric texture. Wash with cold water on a gentle cycle, use a mild detergent, and air dry or tumble dry on the lowest heat setting to preserve softness.
Visible lines or bulk under clothing.
While designed to be discreet, extremely thin or clingy outer fabrics may show lines. Ensure the shorts are smoothed out completely before wearing your dress or skirt. If lines are still visible, consider outer garments made of thicker fabric or a looser fit. Also, double-check that the shorts are not bunched up or twisted.

Care Instructions
To maintain the quality and extend the lifespan of your Yours For Good Cycling Shorts, follow these general care guidelines for cotton blends:
- Washing: Machine wash cold with similar colors. Use a gentle cycle.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, which can damage the fabric.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or, preferably, air dry by laying flat or hanging. High heat can cause shrinking or damage to the elastic.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting. Avoid ironing over the elastic waistband directly.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid excessive stretching during storage.
