Junonia Dual Layer Plus Size Shorts

Dual Layer Shorts Solve Chafing and Ride-Up Problems

Bike-style shorts help stop thigh chafing by preventing skin from rubbing on skin. But many of us feel overexposed wearing bike shorts out in public, and instead wear them under other shorts (which inevitably ride up.) Junonia's Dual Layer Shorts solve both of these problems.

They combine an inner short made of wicking fabric with an outer supplex short that has generous side-slash pockets. The two layers come together at the inner leg and are stitched securely so they won't ride up.

I wore these shorts on a hard uphill and downhill hike and they never rode up or needed adjustment. The waistband is very comfortable, as well.

I like having pockets, which you don't get with most bike shorts, so that is another plus. But these have slash pockets, so you risk hooking your thumbs if you walk fast with arm motion.

These shorts were comfortable enough to wear all day. And since they have an 8-inch inseam, you can feel more confident wearing them in public than you might if you were wearing spandex bike shorts. Wear them from your walk to the store or to do other chores.

They are available from Junonia in plus sizes 0X to 6X and in four different colors. I think this design would look best in the all-black version, as the inner short is black and can be seen poking out from underneath the outer short.

It is a little hard to describe how these shorts' dual layers come together. Only the inner black short goes all the way around the leg. The outer short stops at the inner thigh and is stitched to the inner short. As a result, only the inner short touches the crotch and inner thigh, which prevents the outer shorts from riding up.
