These Canterbury Uglies Tactic Shorts are great for both exercise and daily wear. Just put them on like any regular shorts. Adjust the draw cord inside the elastic waistband for a perfect fit. You can keep your small valuables like keys or cards in the back patch pocket with Velcro. And use the side pockets for other small items. When it comes to cleaning, turn them inside out and wash them in warm water in the machine. Don't use bleach as it might damage the fabric and the colors. After washing, you can tumble dry them on a cool setting. Avoid ironing over the print on the shorts, and don't dry clean them. This way, your shorts will stay in good condition for a long time.
