Compression Shorts
Training with compression shorts can greatly support your performance during your workout and help your body in its natural recovery process. With a wide range of styles and included benefits, we have a pair of compression shorts that can help support you in whatever activity you choose.
The Benefits of Compression
There are numerous benefits of training with compression technology. The technology in our women’s compression shorts helps support your muscles throughout your workout. The tight and secure fit aids in keeping your muscles in place and reducing excess movement.
Compression itself is meant to support your body’s blood flow so your muscles receive adequate oxygen. This allows them to continue moving for longer, supporting stamina.
Compression also plays a role in the body’s recovery process post-workout. By wearing compression shorts during and for a few hours after a workout, your blood will keep flowing, and muscle soreness will be soothed. This way, you can get back in action without unnecessary delay.
Compression Shorts for Running
Running with compression shorts can help boost your performance and stamina throughout your run, as well as aid in muscle recovery between runs. We have a variety of women’s compression shorts that will make perfect additions to your running gear.

Compression Shorts for General Training
Whether you train in the gym, outside, or in your own home, compression shorts can greatly support your workout. They provide snug support for your upper leg muscles, helping to hold them in place.

While considered low-impact activities, yoga and pilates can still cause significant muscle fatigue and soreness. Wearing compression shorts during or after your session can help support recovery and soothe discomfort.
The Form Stash Hi-Rise Compression Shorts and the Motion Mid-Rise Compression Shorts are designed to provide support and relief for yoga and pilates workouts.

The Motion shorts are a great mid-rise option and are made with flexible, sweat-wicking fabric that stretches 360 degrees allowing full freedom of movement.
Running in Low Light
Running in the morning or at night can be a great way to combat the heat during summertime. Training when the temperature is cooler, and the sun is less bright can make your run much more enjoyable and decrease the risk of dehydration.
But it is important that if you choose to run in low-light conditions, you wear clothing with bright colors or reflective highlights to remain as safe and visible to oncoming traffic and other runners as possible. 2XU offers women’s running shorts that come with reflective logos and highlights.

These shorts are geared toward runners and provide 360 degrees of visibility in low light while still being subtle in design. They’re also lightweight, quick-drying, and contain multiple pockets for functionality so you can get the most out of your run.
