I've had many returns of compression shorts that were ALL larger than advertised. This is literally the only brand that fits my son well.

My son wears them under his shorts while exercising. He really likes her. And as a bonus, there's a pocket that's the perfect size for a cell phone, so he sometimes wears it under his pocketless shorts when he's hanging out with friends.

Bought these for my son because he wanted to wear them under his pants to play football. He uses them all the time. I wash them but never dry them because they already fit as tight as they should and I don't want to dry them to make them even tighter. They are perfect just the way they are and my son loves them.

My son wasn't sure when he first tried them on because they fit, but he's worn them for a while and they've stretched a bit or gotten used to the feel. I bought it because we needed something longer that would protect his legs from chafing and be breathable. That was excellent! The material of these pants is similar to softball or baseball slip-on pants but definitely less flimsy and silky. He loves it and I bought another pack.
