FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for heavy lifting?
Yes, the squat-proof fabric is specifically engineered to provide full coverage and opacity during heavy weightlifting movements.
How do I know if these are the right size for me?
This specific model is a UK size 12. Please consult the Nike size chart to compare your measurements against their standard fit for this model.
Can I put these in the tumble dryer?
It is not recommended. Heat can damage the technical fibers and the moisture-concealing treatment. Air drying is best.
Does the seamless front feature help with comfort?
Yes, the removal of a front seam reduces potential chafing and creates a much smoother, more flattering silhouette during movement.
Are these shorts only for gym use?
While designed for high-performance training, their sleek look makes them versatile enough for various athletic activities, such as cycling or yoga.
Troubleshooting
Waistband feels tight or restrictive
Ensure you are wearing the correct size (UK 12); if the waist rolls or feels uncomfortable, check that the fabric is pulled up evenly around the hips.
Fabric loses elasticity after long-term use
Verify that fabric softeners were not used during laundry, as they can break down the performance fibers over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike Universa Shorts maintain their elasticity and moisture-concealing properties, adhere to the following care instructions: Machine wash cold with like colors to prevent color bleeding. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can coat the technical fibers and degrade the sweat-concealing and moisture-wicking technology. It is highly recommended to hang dry the shorts to prevent the heat from a dryer from damaging the high-stretch polyester blend. Store the shorts flat or hung up to prevent the waistband from stretching prematurely.
