I’m pretty sure you have more than one pair of Muay Thai shorts in your closet. If not, I recommend you buy at least one more pair. For your own cleanliness and long time usage of the shorts. The original, and I think the best, Muay Thai boxing shorts should be made of Satin. What so good about Satin and many Muay thai fighters love is the soft cool feeling it gives to their skin. Too bad, satin is very delicate and knowing how to handle one properly will lengthen the time to use them.

Here’s a little knowledge about Satin. The fabric can be made of 4 different types of materials: silk, acetate, nylon and polyester. Each of them is different. Silk and acetate satin is very fragile that need very good care to make it last long, but on the other hand, polyester or nylon satin Muay Thai shorts are much stronger and easier to care.

However, the common thing about any type of satin is they won’t do good with sunlight. The sun will cause the color of your boxing shorts to fade quickly. Knowing this, next time consider and avoid leaving your satin Muay thai shorts in direct sunlight for a long time. Forget about drying your shorts in the sun for example. Air dry the cloths indoor is recommended for this job.

Satin is very soft and thin fabric so sharp objects like buttons or zippers can easily scratch it. So watch out for that.

Your Muay Thai Satin shorts can be machine washed, lucky us. However, here are things that you need to avoid with cleaning your muay thai cloths: heavy cycle function, strong detergent, and bleach. That’s because, the heavy cycle can rip your satin cloths, strong detergent and bleach will cause the color to fade. And if you hand wash them, do not twist the shorts too hard. Last but not least, always read the instruction tag on your shorts. And if you feel like you need to iron them, use the lower heat level as possible.

To remove stain from your satin shorts, for blood stain, for example, I simply soak them in cool water for a long while before wash them. It works well for me. If that doesn’t work or if for other type of stain that might be harder to remove, try using stain remover for delicates that doesn’t contain bleach. Remove stains as soon as possible after you notice them before they will become permanent.
