Elva second skin shorts

To choose
Understanding friction
It's not your body that needs changing. It's the contact that needs to be cut off.
When skin touches, every step creates friction. Heat and humidity intensify it: discomfort appears, then your outfit ultimately dictates your day.
Heat increases discomfort
As the day gets hotter, skin becomes more sensitive to chafing.
Humidity maintains the discomfort.
Perspiration can make contact more irritating over time.

Why choose Elva
Two pairs of shorts may look alike. The experience, much less so.
On a marketplace, the price is easy to compare. The cut, support, and comfort after several hours are much less so. Elva is designed around a specific need: to forget the contact between your thighs.
