FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for actual athletic cycling?
No, these 'Yours For Good Cycling Shorts' are primarily designed as an undergarment for chafe prevention and comfort beneath dresses and skirts, not for performance-based athletic cycling. For active sports, we recommend dedicated athletic cycling shorts made with moisture-wicking fabrics.
What does 'responsibly sourced cotton' mean?
'Responsibly sourced cotton' refers to cotton procured through practices that aim to minimize environmental impact and support fair labor conditions. This includes efforts in water conservation, reduced pesticide use, and ethical supply chain management.
Can I wear these shorts on their own as outerwear?
While technically possible, these shorts are designed and styled as an undergarment. Their primary purpose is to provide a comfortable, discreet layer for chafe prevention under dresses and skirts rather than being worn as standalone outerwear.
How do I choose the correct size?
These shorts are designed in women's UK sizes. It is recommended to refer to your usual UK dress size for the best fit. The elasticated waistband and stretch fit provide some flexibility, but choosing your regular size should offer optimal comfort and chafe prevention.
What is the inseam length of these shorts?
The inside leg length of these shorts is approximately 25cm or 10 inches. This length is chosen to provide effective coverage for chafe prevention under various garments.
Will these shorts cause me to overheat in warm weather?
The shorts are made from cotton, which is generally considered a breathable fabric. While no garment can prevent all warmth in very hot conditions, cotton allows for better air circulation compared to some synthetic materials, making them a comfortable choice for everyday wear in warmer climates.
Troubleshooting
Shorts roll up on the thighs.
Ensure you have the correct size; shorts that are too small or too large can roll. Gently pull down and smooth the fabric. If this persists, consider trying a different size or adjusting the garment worn over them to reduce friction.
Waistband feels uncomfortable or digs in.
Check if the shorts are positioned correctly on your waist. While the waistband is elasticated, ensure it's not twisted or bunched up. If discomfort continues, confirm the size is appropriate, as a band that is too tight can cause digging.
Fabric feels too warm or less breathable than expected.
While cotton is breathable, individual perception of warmth can vary. Ensure the outer garment is also made of a breathable fabric. For extremely hot and humid conditions, no fabric can guarantee complete coolness, but the cotton material is generally a good choice for air circulation compared to some synthetics.
Shorts are visible under my garment.
Ensure the outer garment is not too sheer or tight. The black color generally blends well under darker clothing. For very light-colored or sheer outer garments, a white or nude-colored cycling short might be a more discreet option (check for other variants if available).

Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the comfort and longevity of your cotton cycling shorts.
