Review on Women'S Shorts By Amazon Essentials by Ashley Jones

Detailed review!The fit: I bought a medium based on the waist portion of the measurement chart. My measurements for reference are 27" waist, 41" hips, and 22.5" thighs (circumference). These actually fit quite well, even if the leg holes aren't as tight as I'd like (to keep them from hiking up). These shorts are mainly used for outdoor walks; not really intense weight lifting or running. They do ride up slightly, which I attached pictures to show the before and after of my 3-mile walk up and down hills. Workout shorts have had a bad habit of riding up and showing some cheek since I've got some hips, but these don't and THANK GOD for that!The features: Squat proof! It could just be the pattern, but despite the soft and stretchable material of these shorts, they don't shout to the world what kind of undies I'm wearing. The pockets are decently sized, as I can fit my credit card and phone (iPhone 11 pro max) in one pocket just fine. I won't use them too much though, lest they get stretched out. The high-waist feature is nice too; it flatters my body shape much better than anything low or medium-height.Camel toe? Sort of but not really. While camel toe is inevitable with middle-seam pants/shorts, I actually can't feel it so I don't pay it any mind.My original reason for purchasing was that I wanted to be able to tan my legs as I take outside walks in my neighborhood. Bicycle shorts are more functional, but they certainly don't leave nice tan lines. These shorts work very well and I'm glad to have purchased them!
