FAQs
Can I tumble dry these shorts?
It is recommended to air dry them to protect the integrity of the compression fabric.
Are these shorts opaque during squats?
The compression fabric is designed to be dense and supportive, making it generally opaque during standard gym movements.
What material are the shorts made of?
They are constructed from 100% polyester designed for stretch and support.
Is the back pocket large enough for a smartphone?
The pocket is designed for small essentials like keys or small cards rather than large modern smartphones.
How should I choose my size?
The shorts are available in UK dress sizes; choose your standard size for the intended compression fit.
Troubleshooting
Fabric loses compression over time
Ensure you are washing at 30 degrees and avoiding high-heat tumble drying.
Waistband sliding during activity
Check that the size aligns with your natural waist measurement; if the fit is too loose, the sculpting effect is minimized.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these shorts are made from performance polyester, proper care is essential to maintain the elasticity and shape. Wash the garment in a machine at a maximum temperature of 30 degrees Celsius. Avoid using heavy detergents or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the compression fibers over time. For best results, air dry the shorts away from direct heat sources to prevent the material from losing its tension.
