Troubleshooting

Tighten the drawstring at the waistband to achieve a more secure fit.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Ensure fabric softener was not used, as it can affect the fabric's natural properties. Re-wash with mild soap if necessary.

Velcro closure not effective

Clean any lint or debris from the Velcro strips. Ensure the Velcro is fully engaged when closing.
