I just got mine and the shorties are just shorts, no built in soaker like my others. This was a waste of money because it not really usable without that (too loose through the crotch for the rise/circumference). Did she mention somewhere changing that?
Re: Disappointed with WCW order
I think the only WCW shorties that had a built-in soaker were the wool jersey ones because the fabric was SO thin. I have both shorties and longies from WCW in the interlock, and they are our favorites - I like that there is a little extra air flow. No problems with leaking at all, just make sure you lanolize them.
