Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too stiff or uncomfortable initially.

Shrinkage after washing.

Fit around the waist is too tight or too loose.
Refer to the size chart and consider the intended fit. If between sizes, try the larger size for a slightly looser fit or the smaller size for a more snug feel, keeping in mind they will mold to your body over time.
