Kinetic Wear
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Kinetic Wear shorts different from regular swim shorts?
Our shorts are specifically engineered to prevent chafing with seamless construction. Made from premium Yulex® natural rubber, they provide superior comfort and performance compared to traditional materials while being environmentally sustainable. You can wear any swimwear over the top and keep it discrete.
Should I wear undies with these?
We recommend wearing Water Jocks on their own without underwear. They’re designed with enough support to replace your usual underwear, and they perform best when worn directly against the skin.
What is Yulex® and why do you use it?
Yulex® is a plant-based, FSC-certified natural rubber that serves as a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based neoprene. It's hypoallergenic, high-performance, and significantly better for the environment. We chose Yulex® because it aligns with our commitment to both performance and sustainability.

How should I care for my Kinetic Wear shorts?
Machine wash in cold water and air dry. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and high heat as these can damage the Yulex® material. With proper care, your shorts will maintain their performance and durability for years. (Need to confirm with the manufacturer)
What's your sizing like? Do they run small or large?
Our shorts are designed with an ergonomic fit that's true to size. We recommend checking our detailed Size & Fit Guide before ordering. If you're between sizes, we suggest sizing up for a more comfortable fit during extended wear.
Can I wear these for activities other than water sports?
These shorts are specifically designed for the water but if you have a particular activity that needs our anti chaffing expertise, send us a message and if the demand is there, we will work on it so you can enjoy what you love.
