Comfortable, Functional, Flattering

Love these! The fabric is thick and flattering like shapewear; yet, it’s comfortable for yoga, running, and biking. The pocket is big enough to hold my phone and it doesn’t interfere with performance when running or biking. I’m 5’2”, 122-125 lbs, 27” waist, 36” hips and an XS fits great! I don’t like to wear things too tight so I used to wear size S in Zella, but I would have to constantly pull up my leggings. One day I tried an XS (because there were no S in the store) and to my surprise, it fit comfortably and didn’t slide down! I machine wash it with cold water and lay flat to dry. There is a little pilling (pictured), but it doesn’t bother me. I would definitely purchase again!

Not for me!

I guess these aren't necessarily a bad product, but they just are not flattering on me. I am 5'2", 120 lbs. The material does nothing to help "hold you in" so it accentuates any problem areas. The material just didn't feel as nice as I was expecting.

results after first wash...

I absolutely love how these shorts fit on, however, I wasn’t pleased with how the fabric washed. The directions on the website says wash and tumble dry. I washed them inside out with like fabrics, organic environmentally friendly liquid detergent, and inside out... the fabric piled slightly and I can only imagine it will continue to do so after each was...so keep that in mind when making this purchase. Ps I did not put them in the dryer per instructions. I won’t be returning them bc I already wore them and washed them but gosh disappointed. I will hand wash them to hopefully reduce the piling.

THICC GIRLS THEY ARE FOR YOU

This review is for the THICC women. YESS Queen. These shorts are flattering. And they DO NOT ROLL DOWN. I literally jumped around and did crazy work outs to see if they would roll down and have my tummy hang out. NOPE they stayed solid!!! please please review your size though. Like I’m a size 18 pant I did the XL glad I did! Do not size up. They run alittle big.

Most Flattering Bike Shorts

These fit like a dream! So flattering in every sense of the word. They will accentuate what you want and hide what you don’t. Plus the side pockets are uber convenient. A must for anyone on the hunt. Worth every penny. Purchased a medium.

DREAM SHORTS!!!

I ordered these shorts in black in a size XS (for reference I am 110 pounds, 5’5”) and they were too small. LUCKILY when I went to exchange them they had the Coral color available in a size Small. These are my FAVORITE pair of athletic shorts I’ve ever owned. Material is SO soft, comfortable. The pockets are deep. Perfect length. Color is to die for. I keep stalking the website daily to see if they are going to restock any other colors! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
