Bamboo shorts for women and how to choose the length

Short answer: The length of shorts decides both where they chafe and how they look. If the leg ends exactly where the thighs meet, they chafe. Either shorter or longer.

Avoid the worst length

There is one single length where the fabric sits right on the place where the thighs touch. It chafes most of all. See bamboo shorts for women.

For home or for out

At home softness and the waistband matter. Outside shape and pockets that can hold something matter.

Under a dress instead

If they are to be worn under a dress, under shorts are made for the purpose and have softer edges. See bamboo under shorts.

For the night

For sleeping, a pair without pockets and with a wide waistband is better. See bamboo sleep shorts for women.
