Questions
How do I care for these satin shorts?
To maintain the quality of the satin, hand wash in cold water or use a delicate machine cycle. Hang dry and avoid high heat to prevent damage to the fabric.
Are these shorts suitable for other combat sports?
While designed for Muay Thai, the unrestricted movement and durable construction make them suitable for kickboxing and other stand-up striking disciplines.
What is the fit like compared to regular athletic shorts?
These are traditional Thai shorts, meaning they are cut much shorter and feature wider leg openings and a lower waistband than typical athletic shorts, designed specifically for Muay Thai movements.
Is the waistband elastic or drawstring?
The description specifies a low-rise waistband designed for a secure fit without bulk, which typically implies an elasticated waist in traditional Muay Thai shorts, allowing for flexibility during movement.
