Juicy 2 in 1 Shorts: How to Wear Them for Maximum Comfort

Quick answer

Wear 2UNDR Juicy 2 in 1 Shorts with the Joey Pouch® liner sitting smooth and flat against your skin, then adjust the waistband and drawstring so the shorts stay put without pinching. Choose a size that lets the quick-drying shell move freely over the liner, and treat the shorts as one piece, not two, so nothing bunches or twists. Get those three things right and the Juicy handles pool, pickleball, and lounging without constant readjusting.

Juicy 2 in 1 Shorts solve a specific problem: you want one pair of shorts that works by the pool, on the pickleball court, and on the walk home, without the liner riding up or the shell clinging. The catch is that a 2 in 1 short only feels effortless when you wear it correctly. Put it on like a standard pair of shorts and you will spend the day tugging at fabric.

This guide walks through the exact order to put them on, how to check the fit at each step, and the mistakes that cause most comfort complaints. Everything here applies across the Juicy colorways, from Mezcalito to Paradise, because the construction is the same.

Start with the liner, not the shell

The Joey Pouch® liner is the part that determines whether the Juicy feels comfortable or annoying. Step into the liner first and settle it against your skin before you pull the outer shell up. The liner should sit smooth, with no twisted fabric or rolled edges, and the pouch should cradle rather than compress.

Most people rush this step because the shell is the visible part. But if the liner is twisted when you pull the shell over it, no amount of waistband adjusting will fix the feeling. Take ten extra seconds here and the rest of the process gets easier.

• Checkpoint: run a finger along the liner's leg openings to confirm the edges lie flat, not folded.

Set the waistband and drawstring before you move

Once both layers are on, adjust the pull-on waistband so it sits where you want it, then tighten the external drawstring just enough to hold that position. The goal is security, not compression. A drawstring cinched too tight creates pressure points that get worse the longer you wear the shorts.

Do this standing up, then sit down and stand again. If the waistband shifts significantly during that test, you have either tied it too loosely or the size is off. A quick sit-stand check catches most fit problems before you leave the house.

• Mistake to avoid: tying the drawstring so tight that the waistband digs in, which defeats the point of a pull-on design.

Match the layers to the activity

The Juicy is built with high-grade, quick-drying materials, which makes it a strong pick for water, sweat, and hot weather. For pickleball or a pool session, wear the shorts as designed with nothing underneath the liner. The quick-dry shell and liner work together, and adding extra layers underneath traps moisture and creates friction.

For casual wear, the same rule applies. The liner is the underwear. If you add a second pair underneath, you are stacking seams and fabric where the Juicy was engineered to have none, and the comfort advantage disappears.

• Tip: if you are between activities, a quick rinse and hang-dry keeps the quick-dry fabric fresh for the next wear.

Use the pockets and fit deliberately

Where you carry things changes how the shorts hang and move. A phone in a front pocket during pickleball will swing and pull at the waistband. If you are active, keep pockets light and let the shorts move the way they were designed to. For errands or lounging, load them however is convenient.

If you want a different pocket setup, the Leisure Short - Black/Grey uses dual front pockets plus a back zippered pocket to keep keys and a wallet secure. That is a different design intent, so pick the short that matches how you plan to carry your gear rather than forcing one short to do both jobs.

• Checkpoint: bounce lightly in place. If the shorts shift more than an inch, redistribute what is in your pockets.

Care for them so the comfort lasts

Quick-drying fabric stays comfortable when it stays clean and unstretched. Wash the Juicy after heavy sweat or pool use rather than letting damp fabric sit, and avoid fabric softener, which coats technical materials and reduces their ability to dry fast. Air drying preserves the liner's shape better than a hot dryer.

If the liner starts to feel loose or the waistband loses its snap, that is usually a sign of heat damage or overloading the dryer, not a defect. Treat the shorts as performance gear and they will keep their fit through repeated wear.

• Mistake to avoid: drying on high heat, which can distort the liner and waistband.

Your step-by-step Juicy 2 in 1 routine

1. Step 1: Step into the liner first: Settle the Joey Pouch® liner against your skin before pulling the shell up, smoothing out any twists or rolled edges. Checkpoint: the liner should feel cradled, not compressed.
2. Step 2: Pull up the shell and set the waistband: Bring the outer short up over the liner and position the pull-on waistband where it sits comfortably on your hips. Checkpoint: no pinching or rolling at the waist.
3. Step 3: Tie the drawstring for security, not tightness: Cinch the external drawstring just enough to hold the waistband in place during movement. Checkpoint: do a sit-stand test; if the waistband shifts a lot, retie or reconsider the size.
4. Step 4: Skip extra layers underneath: Wear the Juicy as designed with nothing under the liner, whether you are swimming, playing pickleball, or lounging. Checkpoint: if you feel bunching, you likely added a layer you do not need.
5. Step 5: Keep pockets light for activity: Carry only what you need when you are moving, and save the heavier loads for errands and downtime. Checkpoint: bounce in place; if the shorts shift more than an inch, lighten the pockets.
6. Step 6: Rinse, wash cool, and air dry: Rinse after pool or heavy sweat, wash without fabric softener, and air dry to protect the liner and waistband. Checkpoint: if the liner feels loose, heat damage is the usual cause, so switch to air drying.

Product facts that affect how you wear them

• Juicy 2 in 1 Short - Mezcalito: Built with high-grade, quick-drying materials and a liner featuring the patented Joey Pouch®. The quick-dry shell and pouch liner are why you wear these with nothing underneath; the liner does the work of underwear, so extra layers only add friction.
• Juicy 2 in 1 Short - Paradise: Designed to withstand the elements for durability and longevity. Because the fabric is meant to handle water and sun, you can wear these straight from the pool to the court without changing, as long as you rinse and air dry between heavy uses.
• Leisure Short - Black/Grey: Smooth exterior with an incredibly soft interior, dual front pockets, and a back zippered pocket, plus a pull-on waistband with an external drawstring. If secure pocket storage matters more than a built-in liner, the Leisure Short is the better pick for errands and gym days; the Juicy is the better pick for water and sweat.

Juicy 2 in 1 Shorts are at their best when you let the liner do its job and stop fighting the fit. Liner first, waistband second, no extra layers, light pockets, and cool air drying. Follow that order and the shorts stay comfortable from the first serve to the last errand.
