Great pair of strechies. I live in them on the weekend. They're comfortable and quite flattering. I use them to shop as well as going to a barbaque.
I wish they came in more colors!

I love wearing these shorts for either the gym or when I know I will be running errands. They are super comfortable and help prevent chafing during workouts. I usually have a horrible time wearing regular shorts during a workout because they ride up. It has been bad enough to keep me off the elliptical machine, that's for sure! Being a rather curvy woman sized 12-14, I ordered these shorts in an XL knowing they would be very fitted, and this size fit me great. Keep this in mind when ordering! If you order the appropriate size, you will not have to deal with the "fat bulge" where the bottom ends and you'll have an incredibly comfortable pair of workout shorts.

Bottom Line:

The shorts fit like underware under tennis skirts. I am over 55, and I like the comfort and fit these provide when playing vigorious tennis in the hot sun. When I bend over or squat, there is confidence that my cellulite is hidden and I still look good in my tennis skirts.

I normally wear a size M so I ordered a M and it was too small. I then ordered a L. It is still a little tighter than I like. I bought some Danskin shorts in Walmart a few years ago in black, navy blue, and dark gray. I love them. Sure wish I could find them again.

I am over 50 and still play in USTA tennis leagues all year long. These shorts do not ride up your legs. I still wear tennis skirts and these bike shorts allow me to move freely across the courts. When my skirt flys up, no one will see the wrinkles in my thighs. Yes--we senior women want to look good and play well. Tennis panties are for the younger girls.

The first time I bought a pair was at an outlet, but it closed. I did not know where to get another pair. I looked at the label inside and got online. Wow!--was I happy to know I could buy them online. I buy 3 at a time. I have told all my senior tennis-playing friends about them.

You might prefer the 9" inseam...
By Losing weightVerified Reviewer from Columbus, OH on 3/19/2008
Fit:
Feels too small
Pros:
Allows Free Movement, Breathable, Comfortable, Durable, Lightweight
Cons:
Poor Fit
Best Uses:
Gym, Running
Describe Yourself:
Gym Rat
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

These are similar to the athletic shorts you see the contestants wearing on the Biggest Loser. As someone who has lost 60 pounds over the years in the gym, I can tell you that I couldn't have done it without shorts like these. In regular "running shorts" my thighs wouldn't survive.

They do run a bit small. I wear a size 12 pant and the XL works great for me. The 7" is almost too short, though, and if they did start to ride up that would ruin it. If you are just starting your lifelong journey to fitness and you are a plus-sized individual, I suggest the 9" inseam instead.

 
Fits like a second skin
By The step mill queenVerified Reviewer from Lincoln, NE on 1/8/2008
Fit:
Feels true to size
Pros:
Allows Free Movement, Breathable, Comfortable, Durable, Lightweight, Stylish
Best Uses:
Gym
Describe Yourself:
Gym Rat
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Because of my short stature, it is often difficult for me to find workout attire that is comfortable and allows for a wide range of motion. Breathability is an important factor as well, since I generate quite a bit of sweat when I work out. I am not a big fan of spandex! I like the longer leg length of the bike short. Since I work out every day, my workout clothes get a good dose of sweat followed by many trips through the wash cycle. Your product has fantastic durability (I recently purchased a pair of bike shorts by Champion and the second time I wore them they ripped in half. Not cool).
Thank you for offering a product that makes me feel great when I work out!
