Fits well, pockets extremely handy, white is see-through
March 20, 2019
Forgive my booty shot, but I wanted to emphasize that the pure white color is definitely see-through. The product description states that these aren't see-through but the white definitely is. I'm not even wearing a dark colored thong and you can still see it, along with the tag. It also attracts and holds stains probably worse than any white clothing I've ever owned, but hey, I guess that's what I get for ordering white.
Anyway: I have pairs in both styles -- ones with the shorter leg and ones with the longer one. I'm 6'1", tall, slender... I wear a size 10 pant, waist is about 32", hips are about 39". A Large fits me perfectly, and they do indeed rise all the way up to just under my belly button. The legs don't bunch up during movement, (even the style with the shorter leg), and the style with the longer leg nearly goes all the way to my knees. And that's saying a lot, because I'm pretty tall and I have very long legs. If you are average height, they may go all the way to your knees. The pocket is large enough to fit my very large 5.2" phone, although it sticks out a little bit, but it will not fall out. (Smaller phones will be concealed completely). And, these shorts don't sag under the weight of my large phone in them. Everything stays put, whether I'm bouncing away on a cardio machine or doing body weight exercises. I have several pair and wear them everywhere -- around the house (even to sleep sometimes), working out, and running errands!

Smooth work out!

I got the Capri in these work out style and brand as well. I bought a Large. I wear a US size 10. I do not have big thighs, but these are tight around the thighs and do have a tendency to ride up when you are working out. I noticed "camel toes" at one point when they started really riding up on me! Yikes! Otherwise they are nice because they are above your belly button and smooth out the unwanted bumps. The material is nice and thick! The seams are reinforced and sewn well. There is no cotton liner in the crotch. Great stretch. I just have to pull them down once in a while when I am working out. They feature a pocket too!

Not see through at least. The mediums fit in certain places but look goofy and frankly frumpy with the places that are baggy. The pockets aren’t as deep as they look in the photo and I wouldn’t trust them to hold a cellphone seeing as though the material is so stretchy and would probably give way. With that being said, they aren’t see though and the material is nice.

I ordered these shorts in both the short and longer length, both in black. They fit well and the pockets are wonderful, however, for what ever reason the shorter pair is almost more of a dark dark chocolate brown, while the longer length passed my standard for black. Not sure why the color difference, almost wish I ordered the space dye charcoal instead because I just don’t like the look of brown shorts :(

I made the unfortunate mistake of using the sizing chart provided in the images of the product description, and I ordered a medium. I'm 5'4 and 130 lbs, and usually go with small for all my clothing, or size 4. The medium was just too roomy, it wrinkled and folded oddly, and most damningly of all, it reached down to an awkward length just grazing the pit of my knees. Were I to order again, I'd go for the shorter style and a size small...but I think I'm going to go for something lighter and thinner instead.

I was looking for a pair of compression shorts to wear for high impact workouts (HIIT cardio, roller derby), ideally with a pocket big enough for my cell phone while on the go. These are great quality for the price, but they are definitely not compression shorts. I am 5'4", 158 lbs with a short torso and a good amount of muffin top plus loose skin post-childbirth that will never really go away. The stitching on these hit me in all the wrong places, almost accentuating my squishy bits. While I love the squishy bits, a size M didn't hold them in enough that they didn't jiggle after doing a couple of jumping jacks. I wouldn't say that the M was too big, the shorts just weren't that compressive. I wouldn't wear these for working out, but I might wear them around for just lounging. Also a plus/minus: the shorts are made of a good weight fabric (almost like a double-knit??), and the pockets seem to be made with the fabric folded over. This is nice in that it seems like they would hold my phone in more securely, but the total thickness of the material would probably be a no-go for me during hot & humid months, especially if I was sweating a lot. Am likely returning these. Good quality for the price, just isn't meeting my needs now.

I have the longer version of these shorts, which come to about mid-thigh...LOVE THEM! I bought the shorter version for summer skirts, as they are the perfect undergarment to hold my insulin pump when I don't have a pocket to slip it into. The XL of the short pair is not the same as the longer pair XL - the top edge is significantly below my belly button, causing the lovely muffin top to roll over it and then shorts to then roll downward. Feels uncomfortable like I'm in boy-shorts bikini bottoms. With the longer version, the top IS high-waisted and this never happens. The material is super-soft, so that's a plus but I'm pulling them up over my tummy constantly, especially when bending over or sitting down - then pulling the bottom of the legs down a bit as they're bunching up to the crotch area. Will still wear these to bed, but I'd be adjusting way too much to wear them in public under a skirt/dress.

My review is based on purchasing 3 pairs of these shorts and keeping 2. I bought the red shorts in the shorter length to start, size small. I'm 5'7" and 140 lbs; I do CrossFit and powerlifting so my legs and butt are a bit beefy in comparison to my overall frame. At first, I was super stoked about these shorts... the waist is high-ish, the legs provide good coverage, they are not see through, and the pockets are nice. So I ordered the yellow marl pair and the dark purple pair. I had to send the yellow back -- def not squat-proof, I could see my undies. I kept the purple pair.
However, now that I have worn these shorts several times for workouts, I regret to say they cause some major, major camel toe. I didn't notice it when I tried them on, or maybe I just didn't want to notice it... but alas, the camel toe is a very real problem. The legs don't ride up much, but any ride-up goes straight into the crotch. I am constantly tugging at them to try to push the seam to one side or the other to reduce the camel toe.
Also, the waistband, while being wide and double-layered, doesn't give much support to the stomach area, so if you are at all bloated or had a big lunch, the lower part of the belly just pooches right out.
Lastly, the material is nice and thick and does give good coverage (hides lumps and bumps), it is not wearing all that well. I have worn and washed both the red and purple shorts a few times now and they both are starting to look a little pilled and worn. I wash and dry all my activewear on the delicate cycle, but that doesn't seem to be enough to save these shorts from looking worn.
I still wear them and endure the horrible camel toe because I hate to let things I buy go to waste but they are definitely not the first shorts I reach for in the drawer.

I would give 3.5 stars if I could. Nice but wish they were tighter for running.

These shorts fit a little smaller than other similar shorts labeld the same size. They are a thicker and slicker material. I personally feel more comfortable with a more cotton short. They seem to be made well. The high waist does not come up high enough for me though. Does not work well for me maybe because I am taller. If someone is of average height and does not necessarily need a high waist to assist in camouflaging their stomach, then these shorts would be perfect.
