The Bumrs Breakdown: Choosing the Right Netball Shorts
Let’s be honest—netball shorts can make or break your game. Too tight, and you’re adjusting every second play. Too loose, and they’re sliding down mid-sprint. Not to mention the dreaded ride-up that no player wants to deal with.
Finding the right pair shouldn’t be a gamble. That’s why we created this guide—to help you choose netball shorts that fit right, feel good, and keep up with every jump, pivot, and pass. Whether you’re new to the game or a seasoned pro, the right pair of shorts can lift your confidence and performance.
At bumrs.com, we’ve designed a range of shorts to suit every body and every style of play—no fluff, no fuss, just high-quality gear that works with you, not against you.
First, What Should Netball Shorts Actually Do?
Your netball shorts should be:
✅ Comfortable – no digging, pinching or pulling
✅ Supportive – stay in place without squeezing too tight
✅ Breathable – because sweat happens
✅ Flexible – let you move without restriction
✅ Durable – built to last through training, game day, and endless washes
If your current shorts aren’t ticking all five boxes, it’s time for an upgrade.

Dealing with Ride-Up? Let’s Talk Real
We’ll say it—some netball shorts ride up. A lot of that comes down to body shape, and that’s totally normal. The difference with Bumrs? Even if they do shift a little, the buttery-soft, anti-chafe fabric means it won’t irritate your skin or distract your game.
So instead of constantly adjusting, you can stay focused on what matters—playing hard and having fun.
Things to Consider Before You Buy
Before you hit “add to cart,” think about:
👟 Your position – Need to sprint often? Go for something secure and supportive.
🔥 Training vs. game day – Middies are great for long sessions. Bummers = game ready.
💪 Your comfort level – Some players like coverage, others prefer freedom.
🧼 Wash and wear – Bumrs shorts are made to survive frequent washes without losing shape.
