Many years ago, in the 1970s when compression shorts were introduced,
they were meant to reduce chafing and skin irritations and as a slider short.
Later, around 1980 they were designed shorts with pockets for football
players to put protective pads in the thighs, hips and knees.

Today, compression shorts are used in many events such as running,
gymnastics, football, baseball, basketball, soccer, skiing, hockey. And
studies have shown benefits of wearing compression shorts to reduce
swelling and increasing blood circulation for many other sports.

It could be bad to wear compression shorts made from the wrong stretch
fabric. For example, if the fabric used doesn’t stretch enough, the person
who wears it can cause themselves a muscle injury.

High performance compression shorts should not restrict the wearer from
completing a task during their activities.

Compression shorts should not be worn during sleep.

Good compression shorts made from the correct fabric could be worn all
day, BUT NOT DURING SLEEP.

Example: our recommendation to professional athletes is to wear
compression shorts 7 days a week from morning until evening to help
maintain healthy muscles.

A compression shorts baselayer is recommended, depending on how much
pressure it provides when wearing. We suggest not to wear anything under
your compression shorts, boxer briefs or otherwise, so there is no friction
between an undergarment and the compression short, and there is no
bunching or skin irritations from chafing.

Compression pants will give the wearer many benefits. Yes, definitely you
can wear compression pants all day. The biggest benefit is helping blood
circulation, and reduce swelling.

Men’s compression shorts are used for many activities:

• Running
• Walking
• Track
• Gymnastics
• Baseball
• Football
• Hockey
• Soccer
• Skiing
• Yoga
• Weightlifting
• Gym work outs

Men’s high performance compression shorts will not only have the ability
to help prevent, but also help to rehabilitate from a muscle injury. Good
compression shorts mean they are constructed from fabric with the correct
% of LYCRA®️ fiber and the stretch support it provides the wearer.

If you are experiencing pain or discomfort, you are likely wearing the wrong
size. Men’s compression shorts should be comfortable. It’s possible you are
wearing gear that is not made from a fabric designed for compression
apparel.

No, this is a misconception – you still have to do the physical activity and
follow a healthy program of eating the right foods to lose weight. Consider
using a fitness tracker to watch your progress in real time.

In hot weather sometimes it is much more difficult to wear compression
pants/leggings/tights that don’t breathe. Our suggestion is:

1. If you are a professional athlete, no matter what your specialty is, wear
   compression shorts or tights from morning until evening – NOT DURING
   SLEEP- to protect and maintain your muscles.
2. If you are suffering from lower back pain, wear a back support short all
   day every day – NOT DURING SLEEP- from morning until evening.

Yes, in many walks of life, wear them as a base layer next to skin garment.

Compression shorts will “compress” your thighs when you wear them so
the look will be sleeker, depending on the fabric used to make them. The
thighs will not change size and will release back to natural size when you
take the compression shorts off.

The compression tights, depending on lighting can be see-through when
the fabric is stretched over the body. Loose shorts like running shorts or
basketball shorts don’t provide any benefits to the wearer, they meerly
cover up for what may be see-through. The main reason guys wear
compression tights under their loose shorts is because of the compression
support given to the legs below the knee.

The stretchy filament woven and knitted into the fabric before LYCRA®️ fiber
was invented was called Spandex which was used in girdles. Spandex is a
stretchy filament contains rubber, and as we all know, rubber can be a
cause for allergic reactions. When LYCRA®️ fiber was originally invented by
the DuPont de Nemours company around 1958, it did not cause these types
of allergic reactions. Because of this, many companies changed over to
LYCRA®️ fiber which is much healthier to wear next to the skin than the
spandex rubber.

People became familiar with the name “spandex” and use it as a term for
any stretchy fiber, the same way people became familiar with the brand
Xerox® and used that word in place of the word “copy”.

NEVER! Do not wear multiple pairs of compression shorts at the same time
as the fabrics rub into one another and cause friction causing the skin to
overheat. These higher skin temperatures, in many cases, may cause a rash
or different types of skin irritation.

Skins®️ is a brand of compression products originated from Australia, is that
what you mean? If so, the answer is NO! Never wear undies under any
brand of compression short or compression tights.

Yes, leggings are still in style in 2020, and always will be.

It depends on personal preference and what designers are showing for the
time period. If tight clothing is worn, it can also be a source of keeping the
body warmer by insulating body heat in cold weather temperatures.

It depends from what fabric the leggings are made from. Like socks, some
leggings are thicker and tighter than others.

Women’s compression shorts are used for many activities:

• Running
• Walking
• Track
• Gymnastics
• Baseball
• Football
• Hockey
• Soccer
• Skiing
• Yoga
• Weightlifting
• Gym work outs

Women want the same benefits of compression shorts as men: support of
the large muscle groups and to help prevent injury or rehabilitate from an
injury.

Not all, very few/most compression shorts could be the cause of groin
injuries because the stretch is very low and if the person makes a quick
movement in a garment that does not move with them, the muscle could
become injured.

We have a style that will definitely help with groin injuries, style 1900SL

rehabilitate from quad, hamstring, hip flexor and/or groin injuries. Our

example, jump or throw, the compression garment made with our fabric
