Troubleshooting
Cup feels uncomfortable or shifts during activity
Ensure you have selected the correct size shorts. Adjust the position of the Bio-Flex cup within the X-Pocket before starting your activity. Make sure the waistband is snug but not overly tight.
Shorts feel too tight or restrictive
Verify that you have chosen the correct size. Consult the sizing chart and consider if a larger size is needed. Ensure the waistband is not rolled down, as this can create pressure points.
Fabric is not wicking moisture effectively
Check that you are not using fabric softener during washing, as this can impede moisture-wicking properties. Ensure the garment is not excessively worn or damaged.
Chafing occurs during wear
Ensure the shorts are the correct size and fit smoothly against the skin. Check that the flat-lock seams are oriented correctly and not creating friction. Consider applying anti-chafing balm to sensitive areas if the issue persists.
