These are almost perfect. They are just the right height on my hips, right below my belly button.The length is perfect. I’m 5’8” and don’t like really short shorts because I have this permanent hematoma on my upper outer thigh that I’m self conscious of and also don’t like it when short athletic shorts look like underwear when you sit down because they ride up. These still ride up when sitting but not nearly as much as others.The stretch is perfect. Enough to suck my tummy in some but not enough to feel uncomfortable on my abdomen. I have chronic GI pain that’s exacerbated by too tight of clothing. These don’t cause me issues! The built in undies fit almost perfectly. Sometimes the built ins are too small and cut into me but these are great.My only con is the pocket. I bought these shorts mainly because it has a pocket. I bought a pair of athletic shorts years ago with pockets and now I can never go back to no pockets! The 1 pocket on these does not fit my iPhone 10. I can stuff it in there but 1/3 of the phone sticks out so you definitely wouldn’t be able to run with your phone in there. It’s good for keys and a small travel pill container. If the pocket was slightly bigger then these would be a 10/10.Overall, these may be my favorite or in the top 2 favorite gym shorts that I own. I will probably buy more colors unless I can find others with better pockets. For now, though, I think these are the best option out there!I’m 5’8” and 138 lbs (hourglass figure, not an athletic build, with medium sized booty, wide hips, and larger thighs) and I got a medium.
