So I just started playing basketball at my school and I bought some basketball shorts to play in, but they're so staticy that they cling to my legs! It looks really weird, and no one else seems to have this problem. Why is this happening and is there anyway to stop it?

you should probably buy new shorts, or if u really like the ones u have now, the problem might lie in the under garment you have under it.

1. Add either of these cling-busting additions to your laundry wash cycle:
1/4 cup vinegar
1/4 cup or less borax
2. Add 1/4 cup vinegar to the rinse cycle.
3. Switch to a "green" fabric softener, like those made by Seventh Generation or Ecover, made with vegetable-based surfactants, salt, and natural scents.
4. Choose clothing made from natural fibers; they don’t get static cling as readily.
5. Shake out your clothes when you remove them from the drier.
6. The metal hanger trick for already-clean clothes: Put on the garment. If it is a skirt or dress, simply reach up underneath it with a metal hanger and brush the inside of the garment with it, top to bottom. If it’s pants, elongate the hanger and reach up inside each pant leg, brushing downward.
