FAQs
What is the primary purpose of these cycling shorts?
These cycling shorts are primarily designed as an undergarment to prevent chafing and provide comfort when wearing dresses, skirts, or other outer layers, especially in warmer weather.
What material are the shorts made from?
The shorts are made from responsibly sourced cotton, providing a soft, breathable, and comfortable feel against the skin.
Can I wear these shorts for actual cycling or sports?
While they are called 'cycling shorts' due to their length and fit, they are designed for casual layering and comfort, not for performance cycling or high-intensity athletic activities. Cotton may not provide the moisture-wicking properties needed for sports.
How do I determine the correct size?
This specific product is Size 14. We recommend referring to the brand's general sizing chart, considering your usual dress size, as the elasticated waistband and stretch fit offer some flexibility.
Will these shorts be visible under my clothes?
The shorts are designed with a smooth, close fit and are black in color (for this variant), making them discreet and unlikely to be visible under most non-sheer dresses and skirts. They are intended to be a 'fashion secret'.
Are these shorts part of a sustainable collection?
Yes, these shorts are part of our 'Yours For Good' range, indicating they are made with responsibly sourced cotton and a commitment to more sustainable practices.
How should I wash these shorts?
For best results, machine wash cold with like colors on a gentle cycle. Tumble dry low or line dry. Avoid bleaching to maintain fabric quality.
Troubleshooting
The shorts are still rolling up or down.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. While the stretch fit is forgiving, an ill-fitting size may cause rolling. Gently adjust the shorts to sit smoothly against your thighs and waist.
I'm still experiencing some chafing.
Verify that the shorts are properly positioned and pulled up completely. For severe chafing, consider if the shorts are too tight or too loose, as both can contribute. Ensure they are clean and free of fabric softener residue which can sometimes cause irritation.
The fabric feels less soft after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding harsh chemicals or excessive fabric softener. Hard water can also affect fabric softness; consider adding a water softener if this is an ongoing issue.
The shorts feel too warm.
While cotton is breathable, layering always adds a bit of warmth. If you find them too warm, ensure your outer garment is also breathable. These shorts are designed for comfort under clothing, but in extreme heat, any extra layer might feel warm.
