Common 2UNDR Shorts Sizing Questions Answered

Quick Answer

Order your usual waist size in 2UNDR shorts. The elastic waistband and draw cord on styles like the Paradise Short and Game Time Short let you fine-tune the fit, while the Joey Pouch® liner on the Juicy 2 in 1 Short is designed to keep everything in place without extra bulk. If you're between sizes, size up for a more relaxed feel.

Shopping for shorts online usually comes down to one question: will they actually fit? With 2UNDR, the answer is simpler than you might expect. The brand builds its bottoms around real-world movement, whether you're on the pickleball court, at the pool, or heading out for drinks.

This FAQ covers the sizing and fit questions we hear most often, from waistband behavior to liner comfort. Use it as a practical 2UNDR size guide before you add a pair to your cart.

How do I choose the right size?

Start with your normal waist measurement. 2UNDR shorts are sized to match standard waist sizing, so if you typically wear a 32 in other athletic or golf shorts, a 32 here should work. The elastic waistband and custom logoed draw cord on styles like the Paradise Short and Game Time Short give you room to adjust, so you're not stuck with a rigid fit.

If you're between sizes, think about how you'll wear them. For a relaxed, lounge-friendly feel, size up. For a more locked-in fit during activity, stay with your usual size. The draw cord helps either way.

• Measure your waist at the point where you normally wear shorts.
• Check the product page for any style-specific notes.
• When in doubt, size up for comfort.

Will the waistband stretch out over time?

The elastic waistband on 2UNDR shorts is designed to hold its shape through repeated wear and washing. That said, heat is the enemy of elastic. Wash cold and air dry when you can, and the waistband will stay snug. The draw cord also lets you tighten things up if the elastic relaxes slightly after a long day.

If you prefer a more structured waist, the Bodhi Short uses a hybrid design that feels a bit more like a traditional golf short, while still offering stretch.

• Wash cold, air dry to preserve elasticity.
• Use the draw cord to adjust fit on the fly.

How does the Joey Pouch® liner affect sizing?

The patented Joey Pouch® liner in the Juicy 2 in 1 Short is built to cradle and separate, which means it adds support without adding bulk. You don't need to size up to accommodate it. The liner is integrated into the short, so the fit is determined by the outer short's waist and inseam, not the liner itself.

If you've never worn a liner short before, give it a few wears. Most people find the Joey Pouch® improves comfort and reduces the need for separate underwear.

• No need to size up for the liner.
• The liner is designed to replace underwear.

What if I'm between sizes?

Between sizes is the most common 2UNDR shorts fit question. Our advice: size up if you want a looser, more relaxed fit, or if you plan to wear the shorts for lounging. Size down if you prefer a compressive feel for high-intensity activities. The elastic waistband and draw cord on most styles give you a margin of adjustment either way.

Remember that fabrics like Cloud2UNDR™ on the Paradise Short are lightweight and stretchy, so they'll move with you rather than restrict you.

• Size up for relaxed wear.
• Size down for a locked-in feel.

How should the shorts fit in the seat and thighs?

2UNDR shorts are cut to allow movement. The seat should feel comfortable without sagging, and the thighs should have room to move without billowing. If you have larger thighs or glutes, the 4-way stretch in the Bodhi Short and the stretchy Cloud2UNDR™ fabric in the Paradise Short give you extra flexibility.

If the shorts feel tight in the seat or thighs, size up. If they feel loose but the waist is right, use the draw cord to secure them.

• Check for room to squat and move.
• Use stretch fabrics to your advantage.

Do 2UNDR shorts shrink after washing?

With proper care, shrinkage is minimal. The polyester blends used in these shorts are resistant to shrinking when washed cold and dried on low or air-dried. High heat is what causes most fabric shrinkage, so avoid hot water and a hot dryer.

If you're worried about shrinkage, order your usual size and follow the care label. The fit should remain consistent.

• Wash cold, tumble dry low or air dry.
• Avoid fabric softener, which can reduce stretch.

Can I wear 2UNDR shorts without underwear?

Yes, if you're wearing a style with a built-in liner, like the Juicy 2 in 1 Short. The Joey Pouch® liner is designed to be worn directly against the skin, replacing underwear. For unlined styles like the Bodhi Short or Paradise Short, you'll want to wear your preferred underwear underneath.

If you're new to liner shorts, start with a shorter outing to get used to the feel.

• Lined styles can be worn commando.
• Unlined styles need underwear.

2UNDR Sizing Checklist

Waist measurement

Measure your waist where you normally wear shorts. Use that number as your starting size. Most people can order their usual waist size.

Liner or no liner

Decide if you want a built-in liner like the Joey Pouch® on the Juicy 2 in 1 Short, or an unlined style like the Bodhi Short. Liner styles can be worn without underwear.

Fabric stretch

Check if the short uses 4-way stretch or Cloud2UNDR™ fabric, which can affect how forgiving the fit feels. More stretch means more room to move.

Between sizes?

Size up for relaxed comfort, size down for a compressive feel. The draw cord helps either way.
