Reviews
great fit and good for
"great fit and good for injury prevention after hard sprinting workout"
Well-made shorts, but not enough
"Well-made shorts, but not enough information on how they should fit."
Perfect fit. Very comfortable. I
"Perfect fit. Very comfortable. I just ordered 2 leggings that I was told have same fit size"
I’ve recommended them to everyone
"After long runs, I throw these on and notice immediate relief in my lower back. My hips feel more open, and I don’t get that stiff, locked-up sensation the next morning. They also breathe really well, which is important for all-day wear. I’ve recommended them to everyone in my training group."
It’s like second skin
"Most support gear feels great for a short time, then gets uncomfortable. Not these. I can wear them from morning until night and never feel the need to take them off. It’s like second skin, but with real benefits."
They subtly correct my posture
"My lower back usually gives out after standing at work, but with these shorts, I last much longer without pain. They subtly correct my posture without me even realizing it. It’s like having a physical therapist built into my clothes. Definitely worth the investment."
Essential Support for Chronic Pain
"I’ve struggled with hip and lower back issues for years, and the Pro Shorts make a noticeable difference. They stabilize my posture and relieve strain when walking or sitting for long hours. These feel more like a medical aid than just athletic wear."
Stable Recovery Partner
"After a hip-related medical condition, I needed external support to regain stability. These Pro Shorts hug the body in a way that encourages balanced movement. Wearing them reduces pain flare-ups significantly."
I didn’t expect results this fast.
"I can actually feel the relief as soon as I put them on after workouts. My back relaxes, and my hips feel aligned. They cut recovery time dramatically. I didn’t expect results this fast."
I didn’t expect this much difference
"I feel more balanced when walking or running with these on. My gait feels smoother and more controlled. It’s a subtle but powerful change that carries over to my workouts. I didn’t expect this much difference."
Q&A
- What is the difference between ergo shorts and pro shorts
- Hi Anthony :) Awesome question! The Pro Short is designed to be worn as men’s undershorts for hips, glutes, and muscle memory engagement. Meanwhile, the Ergo Shorts is a unisex under short, and is more effective for lower back traction and support, with an additional abdomen sculpting effect. The Ergo Short also features a patented high 5-inch waistband with extra lower back support.
- Need to see a chart which helps to decide the correct size
- Hi! I have attached a link to our sizing chart. https://forme.science/pages/size-care
