What's the difference between Hotty Hot 2.5" and 4"?

The 2.5 inch is a shorter inseam for running and hot yoga with minimal coverage. The 4 inch is mid-thigh with more coverage, better for gym, HIIT and casual wear. Both use the same Swift fabric.

Are Hotty Hot shorts good for running?

Do Hotty Hot shorts have a liner?

There are two versions: with liner (built-in short for coverage) and linerless. Both are common in resale. Check the product listing before buying.

How much do Hotty Hot shorts cost second hand?

Retail single from £13-£15, wholesale from £6.50/pc at x10 pieces and £5.50/pc at x50 pieces. RRP new is around £58.
