Wow I can't say enough about these shorts!!! Absolutely love them I wear them everyday and bought more already!I wear them more than any other shorts I own. They are super-comfy. A plus? My thighs don't try to eat them when I walk. IYKYKThese shorts are super comfy, stretchy as heck without becoming see-through or looking stretched, and are a bit more fitted than I had expected from the photos. I would recommend sizing up if you want a looser fit on the thighs and you're a fellow thunder thigh owner. I went up one size and they fit but I think I'd like them even more two sizes up from my norm.I really want to love these shorts but in the end, they run a little small and I find I am constantly pulling them into positionI got them for my daughter who is around 200 lbs and 5’3” tall. She normally wears a size 16 and so after reading the comments, I got her a size 1X. Unfortunately that size doesn’t work if you don’t want the shorts to be tight around your stomach and crotch area. She said it is not cute. So, I am ordering a size 2X and a size 3X for her to try and will review those for accurate sizing.Update: size 3X fit properly.I bought one pair and when I wore them bought 4 more in different colours. They do not ride up your legs. I have long legs, so I wish they were just a bit longer- but it is not crucial. They are so lightweight and slippery. They fit just a little bit small- so get one size up.These shorts are great! I bought 3 pairs so far for working at a dog kennel in the summer. They are long enough for me to feel comfortable around clients, are super stretchy, and dry quickly when we break out the kiddie pools for the pups. My only complaint I that two of the shorts have holes in the pockets. Both shorts have holes in the same pocket, in the same location. I'm not really sure what caused the holes since only my mask and treats go into my pockets at work. If you plan to wear these shorts for more heavy duty work, I'd be prepared to replace them as the stitching seems to be a little weak in areas.There's a logo on the pocket that makes an otherwise perfect pair of shorts a little less perfect. And if you're between sizes and like a loose fit, go up. Tight fit, go down. but they're comfy, not sheer, made of a swimming-friendly but not swimsuit material. And there are good pockets.
