Quick answer
Machine wash your Power Moves 2N1 shorts in cold water on a gentle cycle, then hang them to dry. Avoid fabric softener and high heat to protect the 4-way stretch fabric and laser-cut ventilation.
Why care matters for 2N1 shorts
The Power Moves 2N1 shorts combine an unlined outer short with a built-in brief liner, so the fabric needs to stay stretchy and breathable. Proper care keeps the 4-way stretch shell moving with you and prevents the laser-cut vents from warping.
Skipping care steps can lead to pilling, loss of elasticity, or damage to the zip pockets. A few minutes of attention after each wear makes these shorts last through many gym sessions and everyday use.
How to care for Power Moves 2N1 shorts
- Step 1: Turn shorts inside out: Before washing, turn the shorts inside out. This protects the outer fabric and the liner from friction against other clothes. Close all zippers to prevent snagging. Common mistake: washing with zippers open can catch on other items and damage the zipper teeth.
- Step 2: Wash in cold water on gentle cycle: Use cold water and a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softener, or dryer sheets—these break down stretch fibers and reduce breathability. Checkpoint: fabric softener coats the 4-way stretch fabric, making it less flexible over time.
- Step 3: Hang to dry: After washing, reshape the shorts and hang them to air dry. Do not wring or twist the fabric. Avoid the dryer—high heat can shrink the shell and damage the liner's elastic. Common mistake: machine drying on high heat can cause the laser-cut ventilation edges to curl or warp.
- Step 4: Store flat or on a hanger: Once dry, fold the shorts flat or hang them by the waistband. Avoid stuffing them in a tight drawer, which can compress the stretch fabric and create permanent creases.
