FAQ
Are lined shorts better for running and other high-intensity activities?
Lined shorts are often a top choice for running and other high-intensity activities because they offer extra support and help prevent chafing. The built-in lining acts as a second layer, wicking away moisture and keeping you dry during tough workouts. This is especially helpful for activities with a lot of movement, as the lining stays in place and provides consistent support, unlike traditional underwear that can shift around. Plus, the integrated liner adds to the comfort by giving a snug fit, reducing friction between the skin and fabric.
Do you need to wear underwear with lined shorts?
Typically, you do not need to wear underwear with lined shorts. The built-in lining provides support and comfort, effectively replacing the need for additional undergarments. This design helps to prevent chafing and ensures a snug fit during various activities.
Are unlined shorts more durable than lined shorts?
Neither type is inherently more durable than the other. The overall durability will depend more on the specific design, materials, and construction quality of the shorts.
How do you care for lined shorts vs unlined shorts?
Caring for lined and unlined shorts involves slightly different approaches to ensure they remain in good condition:
Lined Shorts:
- Washing: Turn lined shorts inside out before washing to protect the lining. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent to avoid damaging the fabric and the lining.
- Drying: Air dry lined shorts by laying them flat or hanging them up. Avoid using a dryer, as the heat can damage the elastic and the lining.
- Storage: Store lined shorts flat or folded neatly to prevent the lining from getting stretched out or wrinkled.
Unlined Shorts:
- Washing: Unlined shorts can typically be washed on a regular cycle with cold or warm water. Use a mild detergent to maintain the fabric's integrity.
- Drying: While air drying is always a safe option, unlined shorts are often more durable in the dryer. Use a low heat setting to prevent shrinking or damaging the fabric.
- Storage: Store unlined shorts folded or hung up to avoid creases and maintain their shape.
By following these care instructions, you can extend the life of both lined and unlined shorts, keeping them comfortable and functional for a longer period.
