baleafWomen's 8" Biker Shorts High Waist Yoga Workout Gym Running Volleyball Spandex Shorts with Pockets

I bought these shorts not for exercising, but actually for the sole purpose to wear under dresses to help keep the dreaded chub rub at bay (you ladies with thick thighs know what I mean!!). To that end, they did their job! The shorts are soft and very stretchy, and as an added bonus they helped keep my belly under wraps as well as protect my thick thighs from chafing under the dress. You can’t tell I was wearing anything underneath. The size chart was right on point, I am 5’4” and weigh about 200lbs, so I bought the XL and they fit perfect.

These shorts are going to be part of my Summer 2018 anthem. I wore them for the first time during a 10K race (took a chance) and they served me well. The high waist keeps my tummy in place. The 8" inseam is a comfortable length on my thighs - not too short or long. The legs didn't ride up either. The pockets were perfect for my big phone - a Samsung J7. Not once did my phone pop out. Perfect thickness of fabric - passed the squat test (not see-through when squatting). Several of my runner friends were interested in them for themselves. I immediately bought another pair in navy. I imagine I'll purchase a few more pairs as I train for my marathon.Update: I will officially be wearing these shorts for the Chicago Marathon. I've worn them all summer and they have held up every step of the way.

I am 5’3”. 155ish lbs. wear 9-11 pants. I def got some junk in my trunk! I probably could’ve gotten a Large but the medium works for me and I wear them all the time!!! I also bought burgundy ones!!! The pockets on the side are amazing for hiking, so convenient! Def will buy more!

Terrible, I read all these great reviews and I was extremely disappointed. I’m a size 10 so got a medium. They are tight on the legs and bum but slack on the waist. The material is thick and not stretchy enough and the body isn’t long enough so they constantly fall down in the back.They are uncomfortable, poorly made and do not move with your body during basic things such as walking so I definitely couldn’t work out in them. I am extremely disappointed in them as there are so many good reviews on here. Ended up buying flex high waisted Shorts from Gymshark which were a million times better than these terrible shorts. Waste of money do not buy!

I am 5'7 and ~115lbs, size 26 in denim, and I took a size small in these shorts.The shorts were easy to pull on, however, the material had a weird sheen to them which I didn't like - the shorts look a lot more matte in the photos. The hem of the shorts around the thighs felt very snug and that the seam could burst at any moment, and my thighs are very slim. The shorts didn't seem to have any compression effect and they don't feel as comfortable on as I expected. They gave me a slight cameltoe and for ladies who want to use these in the gym, I don't think these shorts are squat proof either.My sister purchased some ALONGFIT leggings from Amazon which I tried and found flattering and comfortable, so I purchased these bike shorts hoping to have similar results. Unfortunately for all the reasons stated earlier, these shorts were a miss and I sent them back. I wouldn't personally pay more than $15 for a pair of these.
