    Light weight and flattering

    Love these shorts, I have them in two colours. Very light weight so great for walking and generally activities in the summer. Dry really quickly so good for impromptu dips. Flattering fit, they tend to float around my waist a bit as I am an hour glass shape, but I don't mind that..

    Chaffing shorts that aren’t suitable for running

    Originally posted on sweatybetty.com

    We’re ok to begin with but after a couple of washes don’t sit right and ride up . Had terrible chaffing on a hot run today get riding up and slipping behind so keep stopping to try and in bunch and pull forward. Really annoying won’t wear again looking for an anti chaffing pair of running shorts.

    Great Fit for curvy thighs.

    Originally posted on sweatybetty.com

    Yes, I recommend this

    Nice shorts with a good inseam length, especially great for curvy thighs as they help avoid chafing. The waistband is high-waisted and fits well at my waist even though slightly loose. They run a bit big—I could have gone with a size S, but I chose size M because the fit around the thighs and the length are loose and comfortable, which is perfect for running and prevents chafing. Overall, I'm happy with this product.

    Needs better pockets

    Pockets no good for purpose. They are running shorts but the main pockets have no zips for a phone, for example. Lovely colour

    Bought these shorts in a hurry looking for something to wear on a walking holiday in the heat. They were amazing - fitted beautifully and so cool despite the blistering temperatures. Really love these shorts and couldn’t ask for more from them.

    Not for running

    Originally posted on sweatybetty.com

    Bought these for running and they are not fit for purpose. Because there’s no tie, just an elastic waistband, they rise up so you end up with your bum cheeks out and a wedgie constantly having to pull them down. The back pocket barely fits keys and the opening to the side pockets are too wide, so your phone bobs around and flops out. They are very lightweight and comfortable, but not fit for purpose if you want to run in them and you carry a phone or have a bum.

    Good but ride up immediately

    Bought these for running in warm weather. Made a big mistake in not testing them out. Gave me the worst chafing I've ever had. Would wear to gym and will wear over cycling shorts to run.

    Ride up too high when running

    Originally posted on sweatybetty.com

    No, I don't recommend this

    I bought these in the hope they wouldn’t ride up when running, particularly when running fast as most shorts seem to. Unfortunately, they do ride up and quite high as well which is uncomfortable. I bought a bigger size than my usual as well, thinking they may be baggier and less likely to ride up. They are comfortable when not running so good for strength training hence the two stars rather than one but not running.
