Quick answer
To keep your Movement Shorts looking and performing like new, wash them in cold water on a gentle cycle, air dry them away from direct heat, and avoid fabric softener at all costs.
Why care matters for performance fabrics
The Movement Shorts are made from a premium performance fabric with four-way stretch and light compression. That buttery-soft feel and squat-proof design rely on the integrity of the elastane and the fabric's finish. Harsh washing or high heat can break down those fibers, leading to sagging, pilling, or loss of opacity.
What to avoid
Fabric softener and dryer sheets coat the fibers and reduce moisture-wicking ability. Bleach weakens elastane. High heat from a dryer or direct sunlight can cause the fabric to lose its shape and color. Even a single hot wash can start the damage.
How to care for your Movement Shorts
- Turn them inside out before washing: This protects the outer surface from friction and helps prevent pilling. Zip any pockets if your shorts have them. Common mistake: washing right-side out exposes the fabric to abrasion from other items.
- Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle: Use a mild detergent without bleach or fabric softener. Wash with similar colors and avoid heavy items like jeans that can cause friction. Checkpoint: hot water and harsh detergents break down elastane fibers over time.
- Skip the dryer — air dry flat or hang: Lay the shorts flat on a drying rack or hang them by the waistband in a shaded area. Never wring or twist the fabric. Common mistake: high heat from a dryer or direct sunlight can ruin the stretch and cause fading.
- Store them folded, not bunched: Fold the shorts neatly and store them in a drawer or on a shelf. Avoid hanging them by the leg openings, which can stretch the elastic. Checkpoint: proper storage keeps the compression fit intact for your next workout.
