Slip Shorts for Sport – A Guide

Short answer: Slip shorts for sport need to sit really close, stay in place while you move and draw sweat away from your skin. Bamboo viscose meets all three requirements, and it also prevents the chafing that otherwise happens when your thighs work against each other.

Why wear slip shorts for training?

During running, walking and ball games your thighs rub against each other thousands of times, and with sweat in the equation it quickly ends in red, sore skin. A pair of close-fitting bamboo slip shorts under your training shorts or your dress removes the friction, and they keep everything in place during jumps and lunges.

The fabric has to work as hard as you do

Bamboo viscose draws sweat away and dries quickly, so you are not training in wet fabric. At the same time, dry skin slows the growth of the bacteria that cause odour. Read why the fabric suits exercise in the guide to bamboo for training.

Put the whole training outfit together

Pair the slip shorts with a supportive bamboo sports bra and the rest of the range in bamboo activewear for women, for example bamboo training shorts for women on top.

Frequently asked questions

Can I run in bamboo slip shorts?

Yes, they work well for running, because they stay in place, draw sweat away and stop the chafing between your thighs.

Should sports slip shorts fit tighter than ordinary ones?

They should sit really close without squeezing, so they follow every movement without rolling or sliding. Choose your normal size in a stretchy quality.

How often should I wash slip shorts after training?

After every session, just like the rest of your training clothes. Wash at 30 degrees without fabric softener, and the fabric keeps its sweat-wicking properties.
