Women's Training, Workout & Exercise Shorts Frequently Asked Questions

What shorts should I work out in?

When considering what shorts to work out in, think about what type of activity you’ll be doing. High-quality performance workout shorts for women should have moisture-wicking or cooling techs, such as adidas AEROREADY and HEAT.RDY. Compression shorts help reduce chafing and provide muscle support, especially during sweaty, intense workouts. Two-in-one shorts, with a loose-fit outer and tight-fit inner layer, keep you covered and comfortable. Side-split shorts with a built-in liner are breathable and free-feeling and ready for a run. The best workout shorts are the ones you feel confident in from that first lunge to the last.

Why do compression shorts work?

Some studies have found that compression shorts work by reducing muscle vibration and enhancing blood flow during exercise. This can help reduce inflammation and muscle pain. Researchers say the shorts can also improve muscles’ temperature regulation. Some people find that wearing compression shorts after a run or workout reduces muscle soreness. Compression workout shorts for women can also help minimize chafing while giving a hugged-in feel that makes for a distraction-free workout.

How long should you wear compression shorts?

If your compression shorts fit well and aren’t too tight, you can wear them for as long as you like, especially if the material is breathable and sweat-wicking. Wearing the shorts for an hour or two after a workout may help ease muscle soreness. Probably the best rule is to listen to your body and wear the shorts as long as they feel comfortable. If you find they help reduce soreness, test out what length of time works best for you. And if you just like wearing them, keep them on a little longer!
