FAQs
How do I insert the Bio-Flex cup?
The Bio-Flex cup slides into the specially designed pocket located inside the front of the shorts. Ensure it is positioned correctly for maximum comfort and protection.
Can I wear these shorts for non-contact sports?
Yes, while designed for contact sports, they can be worn for non-contact sports to provide compression and moisture management benefits. However, the primary protective feature (the cup) is intended for impact scenarios.
What is the main benefit of the Bio-Flex cup?
The Bio-Flex cup is designed to conform to the body's natural shape, offering superior protection against blunt trauma while allowing for unrestricted movement and comfort.
How do I know if I've selected the right size?
Refer to the Shock Doctor sizing chart for kids' apparel. Measure the waist and hips and compare these measurements to the chart. It's often recommended to size up if between sizes for a more comfortable compression fit.
Are these shorts machine washable?
Yes, the shorts are machine washable in cold water on a gentle cycle. Remember to remove the Bio-Flex cup before washing and air dry or tumble dry on low.
What does 'antimicrobial' mean in the fabric description?
Antimicrobial treatment helps to inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria, keeping the shorts fresher for longer between washes.
Troubleshooting
Cup feels uncomfortable or misplaced.
Ensure the Bio-Flex cup is correctly oriented and fully inserted into the Core Flex Pocket. Check that the shorts are the correct size; if too small, they may cause discomfort.
Shorts feel too tight.
Verify the correct size has been selected based on the size chart. Consider the compression fit; if it's too constricting, this model may not be suitable. Ensure the waistband is not rolled down.
Fabric is not wicking moisture effectively.
Make sure the shorts are not overly worn or damaged. Wash according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners which can impede wicking properties.
