FAQs
What does 'RPET' stand for?
RPET stands for recycled polyethylene terephthalate, which is a type of polyester made from recycled plastic bottles.
Are these shorts suitable for running?
Yes, the compressive fabric, four-way stretch, and moisture-wicking properties make them suitable for running and other athletic activities.
How do I know if I ordered the correct size?
Refer to the brand's specific size chart available on their product pages. The compressive fit should feel snug but not restrict circulation.
Can I wear these for lounging?
While designed for activity, many users find them comfortable enough for casual wear and lounging due to their soft fabric and supportive fit.
What is the difference between these and other Girlfriend Collective shorts?
The 'Compressive High-Rise' specifically features a high waist and a fabric blend designed for greater support and sculpting compared to some other styles.
How long will these shorts last?
With proper care, these shorts are designed for durability and should last for an extended period, maintaining their shape and compression.
Are these shorts see-through when stretched?
The compressive fabric is designed to be opaque and supportive, preventing sheerness even when stretched during exercise, provided the correct size is worn.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the fit is still too compressive, consider trying a size up or a different style with less compression. Break them in with shorter wear periods initially.
Fabric pilling after a few washes
Avoid washing with abrasive materials like denim or items with Velcro. Always wash inside out and use a gentle cycle. Avoid fabric softeners.
Color appears faded
Wash in cold water and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Consider washing with darker colors to minimize noticeable fading.
Seams coming undone
Inspect the garment for any loose threads and gently trim them. If a seam is significantly unraveling, contact customer support for potential warranty claims.
