I bought these for two reasons: (1) I needed something I could wear to church without (I can't wear long ones To wear trousers). support), and (2) I need something smooth and non-slip—cotton is like Velcro—if I have to move my butt from the wheelchair to the car seat and back into the wheelchair at church. These shorts are exactly what I needed, except for one small detail: when I ordered them, they were only available in white. It was fine until I got to a church where a few people wondered if it was underwear.
