Review on Comfortable Women's Bike Shorts with 4D Gel Padding, Pockets, and Wide Waistband – Ideal for Cycling, Spinning, and Biking by William Stewart

I love the look and feel of these shorts. I was excited to find a pair with pockets. Unfortunately I had to send them back. They were small. I am short/medium sized. I used to be xs/small but gained some weight in quarantine so I'm closer to average now. They were pretty tight. They were difficult to put on, but I didn't choke when putting them on. The thin material shows all your flaws (hello love handles!). The absolute worst was the extreme cameltoe he gave me. The filling looked like two plump, loose lips. abominable! The padding was too thin for me. It didn't offer much cushioning. Obviously it was better than nothing but I bought them for my short 4 mile commute and they did little to help ease my discomfort in that area. Again, that's more of a personal preference, but I was also looking for something shorter. They hit me just above the knees (I'm 5'3").
