Product Information
Full details
The LA Gear Essential High-Waisted 2-in-1 Running Shorts are designed for active women who prioritize both coverage and performance during gym sessions, running, or outdoor training. Featuring a supportive 2-in-1 construction that eliminates the need for separate base layers, these shorts provide anti-chafe protection and a flattering, secure fit; however, users should note the material is exclusively polyester, which may feel different than cotton-blend activewear.

FAQs
Can I use these for swimming?
While made of polyester, these are designed as athletic running shorts and are not explicitly tested for chlorine resistance found in swimwear.
Are the inner shorts detachable?
No, the 2-in-1 design is permanently stitched together to ensure the inner support layer stays in place during exercise.
Does the side pocket fit a smartphone?
The pocket is designed for small essentials like keys or credit cards. Most modern smartphones may be too large or heavy for this specific pocket.
How should I choose my size?
These shorts follow standard UK dress sizing. We recommend selecting your usual size for the best fit regarding the tummy control waistband.
Will the material shrink in the dryer?
Polyester is generally resistant to shrinking; however, high heat can damage the elastic components. We recommend avoiding tumble drying.
Troubleshooting
Waistband feels tight or rolls down
Ensure you are wearing the correct size and that the shorts are pulled up fully to sit at your natural waistline.
Fabric holds onto odors after heavy sweating
Pre-soak the garment in cold water with a sports-specific laundry detergent to break down sweat-related bacteria before the main wash cycle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the fabric and the elasticity of the waistband, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash at a maximum temperature of 30 degrees Celsius.
- Drying: Air dry naturally to preserve the shape and compression quality of the polyester material.
- Ironing: Avoid using high heat irons; if ironing is necessary, use a low-heat setting.
- Compatibility: These shorts pair seamlessly with standard compression tops or loose-fitting performance tanks, fitting true to standard UK dress sizes.
