Quick answer

Choose the Sublime Bamboo Bike Short for breathable, full-coverage lounging and errands; pick the Brushed Bamboo Jogger when you want cozy warmth, pockets, and a sporty tapered look.

Coverage and warmth for changing needs

Postpartum bodies run warm, especially during the early weeks of recovery. The bike short’s double-layer bamboo fabric gives you full coverage while staying breathable, making it ideal for indoor lounging or quick trips out. The jogger’s brushed bamboo fabric adds a layer of cozy warmth without overheating, thanks to its temperature-regulating properties. If you run cold or live in a cooler climate, the jogger provides more leg coverage and insulation.

Pockets and versatility

The jogger includes three pockets, which can be a lifesaver for carrying your phone, snacks, or small baby items without needing a bag. The bike short has no pockets, so you’ll need to rely on a waist pouch or partner’s pockets. If you’re heading out for a walk or want to stash essentials, the jogger wins for practical storage.

Trade-offs at a glance

  • Breathability vs. warmth: The bike short’s double-layer bamboo is airy and cool, while the jogger’s brushed bamboo delivers cozy insulation. Choose the short for hot flashes or summer months; pick the jogger for cooler days or air-conditioned rooms.
  • Coverage length: Bike shorts end mid-thigh, offering freedom of movement and a sporty look. Joggers extend to the ankle, providing full-leg coverage that can double as sleepwear or outdoor wear.
  • Pocket practicality: Joggers have three pockets (two side, one back) for carrying phone, keys, or small baby items. Bike shorts have no pockets, so you’ll need a separate bag or pouch for essentials. If you frequently need hands-free storage, the jogger is the better choice.
