these shorts look much shorter on me in terms of the rise from crotch to top of the waist than on the models. everything's covered and not tightly, just more ... provocatively than expected. The taper to the leg openings bring them snug but not tight to my thighs, and can keep the family jewels secure whether you wear anything under the shorts or not. There's enough room for everything up front without it being tight in the crotch, but if you are really packing, that weight will bring the load-bearing front section down over the hem around the thighs in a way thats very "fashion forward". I have my own gym, so I don't have to worry about causing a commotion. If I wore these to a public gym, I would have to be feeling very self-confidently and exibitionist. These could be a popular piece of equipment for gogo dancers however. I suppose this is why stringers are always cut so long as to fit like a mini dress lol. Read more
I looked hard to find replacement gym shorts that didn't look like these baggy, unattractive, almost-to-the-knees sort of thing many guys seem to wear these days. Those to me are a complete turn-off. I wanted something with the look of classic gym shorts, as they used to be, and these fill the bill. They're sexy, show off my legs nicely, comfortable, and seem well made. The color has held through much use and many washings. I like to exercise without underwear, and that is one thing to look out for since they're short and tight enough that you risk being a public spectacle on certain exercise machines if one isn't careful. Otherwise, I have nothing negative to say about them. And even that isn't so negative -- goes with the territory. Read more
Super small shorts, lightweight. Drawstring can go tight around the waist. We used the shorts as clothes for our skeletons on Halloween for our Olympic theme. Read more
overall, I like these shorts. They run a bit smaller than I thought, but I suppose that’s part of the point. The front pockets are really big and basically take up the whole front part of the shorts. Really handy for cash or a phone, though I don’t think I’d put a lot of bulky stuff in them. There is also one small pocket in the back. Read more

This shorts is unlined, so don't forget to wear an underwear or something modest. For it's price it's just about right and the product quality is expected. I do believe the size is short for the manner. So to be safe I recommend ordering a size up. Normally I fit a medium well but I ordered an large and it's perfect. Also the short is short! So It'll definitely show off your legs. In result it's not really good for casual wear but athletics reasons would be fine. Read more
Don't trust the sizing. These appeared to run small, so I ordered XL rather than regular L. The blue fit fine, but the red was at least a full size smaller, much tighter and shorter. Read more
