The reviews don't lie

Unfortunately I had the same issue with these shorts that many other reviewers have had. They started to ride up before I even walked out the door for my run. There a was also a very unflattering and uncomfortable camel toe situation. I did triathlon for many years and have a lot of experience with compression shorts, but I've never had issues like I had with these. Luckily, I bought them on sale and don't feel as bad as if I had paid full price. Two stars for the pockets though, which are great.

Not a fan. I ordered these on sale but sent them back. I was not a fan of the material or the fit. Not flattering at all. (Camel toe!)

Black is perf, empire fits differently

I ordered these shorts in black last year and I’ve been obsessed. I decided to order the empire in the same size 4, but they don’t fit the same. They’re loose in the crotch and way higher waisted (almost come up to my bra). I wanted them in the green too, but not if they don’t fit like the black pair.
I’m 5’2, 135 lbs, hourglass shape with thick thighs

THEY RIDE UP!!!!

Save yourself a return (and fees!). The shorts fit well, feel good, but don't say in place at all during runs, walks, bikes, anything! Other shorts I have from other places don't do this.
