LOVE these shorts!
I ordered 3 pairs of these shorts and planned to pick the color I liked best and return the others. I ended up keeping all 3 because they are perfect! The waistband is so comfortable like yoga pants and stays put. The rest of the material has some stretch as well and is lightweight. I appreciate that they have the built-in undies for running. I will update if I find any problems with them after wearing them running, but I don’t anticipate any issues. I already recommended them to a friend. Love!For size reference, I wear a size 8 and got a medium. It fits perfectly. A large would probably also work for a looser/roomier fit, but a small would be too tight all over.

Buy Your True Size or Size Up
I am 5’4,” pear shaped, 140 lbs., and between a size 6 and 8. I originally bought these in a size small because a reviewer said the medium was “generous.” I disagree. The small was too tight and absolutely ridiculous looking. I exchanged for a medium and find them slightly smaller than I’d like, but they still look decent. I LOVE the wide waistband. It was exactly what I’d wanted. I have a c-section pooch and it covers it just the way I like. There is room in the legs, although I would prefer a little more. The length is good. I have two boys and don’t feel comfortable in shorts that are too short. I feel like a 4 inch inseam is perfect for me, but these are pretty good at 3.5. I would probably repurchase.

White is see through
They fit true to size, maybe a little shorter and lower rise than I expected (I’m tall so this is a common occurrence). They are nice feeling and fit nice otherwise but I am taking a star off because I got WHITE and they are see through. The built in undies help but you can clearly see those. I’ll still be wearing just be aware! I’ll probably get these in other colors regardless 🙂

Size 10 athletic build. Size Medium is a good.
I am a size 10 in jeans. I have an athletic build and muscular quads. The size Medium is perfect for me. Not tight at all and loose without being too baggy. I do have a bit of a tummy so the soft waist is perfect and flattering. For further reference I am five five and 150lbs. I wear these around the house, running errands, and working out. I have several pairs. The Grey ones have a slightly more rigid material so I do not workout in those ones. These are my favorite shorts.

Excellent quality and fit! I recommend sizing up
My other champion shorts I got in L and they were too big, so I ordered these in a Med, based on reviews. I have some regrets. They are amazing shorts, perfect quality, amazing stretchiness, I love the little detail on the edges…. however, with the stretchy waistband that is like the material of leggings, they were a little on the smaller side. I generally wear an 8-10, inverted triangle build, athletic legs/hips with weight gaining in my stomach. So these I pull up a little higher, for comfort, but it makes them less flattering. When I pull them down below my Csection shelf, they are better but sort of collect extra fabric in my crotch. I think a Large would be perfect, but I keep the Medium since they are just so great!

Great fit just see through
Love these shorts! Super comfortable. The only reason I’m giving them 4 stars is because you can see the underwear lining through them which I don’t like. I also got the white shorts. I don’t know if it does that for the other colors. I’m 5’4”, 140lbs and got a medium. They fit very comfortably.

I have been looking for these EVERYWHERE
I fell in love with these shorts about 3-4 years ago and bought them at Target. Anytime I would go to Target I would try to find some and buy them because they were always selling out. Then they discontinued them at Target about 2 years ago and I was so sad. I was looking to buy some $60 Lululemon shorts that seemed similar but thankfully found these on Amazon and I have bought 4 pairs because I love them SO much! I can fit in both the XL and XXL comfortably (I wear a size 12 or 14 in jeans/pants).

Stick to your true size! Otherwise will be too big
The quality of these shorts are great! I just wish I hadnt listened too much to the reviews stating to go up a size. I’m normally a small for everything and am considered semi pear shaped. Well if any of you know what that means its pretty hard to determine what size will fit the bum good. Long story short the Mediums were way too big on the waist. Great length in covering the butt and not too long on the thighs but super big on the waist. Tried cinching the waist band but because there was too much material it looked unpleasant at that point. Definitely worth buying because of the great quality, length, and price. However, stick with your size!! Will be ordering a S soon.

love love love!
I was not sure about these shorts when I ordered them, but I really like them! The waist isn’t low rise but it also isn’t super high and doesn’t give you a muffin top but they do stay up well. I’m picky about how waistbands fit and this is pretty good – lays flat but is also super comfy, not restricting. I only wish they had my size in stock in other colors besides white! I would say fits true to size in terms of how I was expecting (I purchased the XL), but like most sportswear it isn’t necessarily my regular clothing size (pants are usually 12-14). Over I do like these though and wear them a lot.

Getting all the colors!
These shorts are awesome! I love how they fit. I tend to wear biker-type shorts for working out, but I feel these are even more flattering because they are not very tight around my thicker thighs. Think I’m going to order the other colors. Definitely recommend. The zipper pocket on the back is not really big enough to fit an iPhone, per say, but keys or cash and debit cards would easily fit. There are no other pockets on the sides.

Quality running shorts for half the price of the other companies
These shorts are very similar to (but not identical to) the C9 Champion shorts that were formerly sold at Target (RIP). My outdoor running time has increased dramatically compared to pre-pandemic, so I needed additional pairs of shorts for summer.Features I love:* Wide flat waistband (not elasticated) – it’s comfortable even for long runs* Internal drawstring – absolute must-have to ensure good fit across a variety of body shapes!* Zip back pocket for keys – more secure than a drop-in pocket, and hard to find on affordable shorts* Built-in linerThese are very similar to the Patagonia Strider Shorts, but retailing for less than half the price. I do use BodyGlide to prevent inner thigh chafing, but would do so with any running shorts.I wear a size L, which is my usual size in shorts to accommodate my hips (waist = 31″, hips = 41.5″). Thanks to the drawstring, I don’t have to worry about the shorts falling down during a workout. They are roomy enough for running with no restrictions, and comfy enough to wear all day camping.

COMFORT
My husband and I own a little ranch so I am always doing something. Loading hay unloading hay cleaning raking, grooming the horses etcc…. these shorts are so comfy. And cheap …. they hold up and last for forever. Purchased my first pair about 10 yeas ago and I still have them ONLY reason I bought more I lost a bunch of weight so they sag on me but other than that they are fantastic.

Excellent running shorts
These shorts are excellent in quality of the materials, comfort, and performance. I purchased these last min for a hot weather marathon I was running and was hesitant given that I had never trained in these and was worried about comfort, chaffing, riding up, my etc. These shorts were light weight, stayed in place, no chaffing and was super comfortable through a very hot and sweaty 26.2 miles. I’m built pretty straight up and down w an athletic build w not too many curves but have had 3 babies. I’m 5’5” and weight 127lbs. The band is flattering bc it’s wider and covers the “pooch” area that most of us mamas have. I would recommend sizing up for a comfortable not too tight fit. The shorts area was totally fine and a touch big but the band runs rather small so although I bought a medium, it for more like a small but it fit perfectly. For the money this performs wonderfully for work outs and in my case long distance running. I’m definitely getting other colors!

Buy these!
I have spent soooo long looking for the perfect running short and have tried on countless pairs… I even was willing to pay in the $65-$75 range if I found what I wanted bc I spend so much time in my running shorts. I am SO happy with these and have them in black as well. They are great for everyday use around-town wear as well as racing 5ks to marathons on both the road and mountains. So light and flattering and comfy! I do not typically write reviews unless I absolutely love something or really don’t like it… I saw another person commented that she preferred then to her lulu shorts and after trying multiple lulu shorts I must say I agree! 🙂

Great for the right body type (not me)
These are quality shorts for the right body type. The bright blue color looks even better in person (the product photo is not great – they should change that), and the shorts are a nice length. If you are slim with a smaller lower body, these shorts will look great on you. I ordered a SMALL. I am athletic, but not overly so, and they were not flattering and the fit was off everywhere but the waist. The liner was also very tight and uncomfortable (which I would have cut out if the shorts fit well). I think they are worth a try to see if they can work as the price and quality is great. Just did not work for me. For reference: 125lbs, 27″ waist, 39″ hip (that includes the glutes as I’ve seen some people not understand that), and 20″ thigh.

Great shorts but colors not accurate
These shorts are so amazing! I love the thick waistband that smooths and does not give any love handle look like some athletic shorts. The leg is very flattering and fits lose around the thigh. The one thing is that the colors are not at all true to what they look like online. I have both the red (which is actually very much like a rose pink) and peach (actually hot pink in person. ) I love them enough to keep both but was disappointed by the colors being suffering than expected.

Good, but I was hoping for a little more support
They’re pretty good, fit is nice. I’m 5’7 and about 140 pounds, I’m not the heaviest girl but I still would like to cover a few areas. It is nice and high waisted, but in the waistband I was hoping for a decently thick and large piece of elastic for support and compression, but it’s kinda just fabric with the string towards the top. Just slightly see through, but not noticeable. Again, pretty good, still wear them often, but I was hoping for a little more.

AMAZING FOR LULU DUPES
Amazing, cute shorts! Great lulu dupes! I love them so much, very cute for working out in or just wearing out! I am 5’3, 127lbs, and my waist is a 24. Size small was perfect! I’m gonna be ordering another pair, but since I tumble in my shorts I don’t like them to be flair, and these flair but only a bit. I’ll be getting a size smaller only for a tighter fit. But 10/10!

Please continue making these and restock on Amazon
These are absolutely wonderful running shorts. Built in underwear, not too tight. Wide waist band sits comfortably without restricting and does not come up too high like other shorts. The wide waist band is smooth and not bulky. Other brands I have tried have restrictive or bulky or high waist bands that are unflattering and discourage movement–the whole point of wearing work out shorts! Perfect length–cool enough for warm weather running without exposing buttocks while doing workouts (bending, squatting, lunging, etc). These move with the wearer without riding up. Favorite running shorts by far!

Great shorts, very comfy and length is perfect in the 30s club
These are one of my favorite pairs of shorts. They do run big. I wear a 10 and bought size large. They’re really large, but comfy and I love them anyway. To give an idea, I’m 5’5 and 155 with what I consider chunky thighs. I bought white and have to wear light underwear or they show.

My favorite shorts!!
Got these shorts in blue and corol for hiking. They are the best!! I’m 5’7” and about 200 lbs and with the built-in underwear support, they don’t ride up or down. The wide waste-band also helps keep the shorts up around my belly. They feel very lightweight and cool and dry quickly. They’re also just long enough that my thighs don’t chafe. 10/10 recommend!

Must have, and great price!
Target used to sell these shorts and I had 3 pairs I was in love with. I have a larger butt and larger thighs so it’s hard to find athletic shorts that fit and that are flattering. These are amazing as always! Fit perfect and give that flared out look that flatter the body!! They are also the perfect amount of high wasted so it looks great with crop tops or workout tips!

Got the wrong size.
I ordered a medium and received a small. This is fine, as the small actually would have fit me better. However, this may be a problem for others. The band is very comfortable and the material on the shorts is breathable. They have built in support (like men’s swim trunks) which is nice.

Great shorts
Just received these today. I tried them on and haven’t taken them off! Most athletic shorts dig into my abdomen(I have three kids and the abdominals are not what they used to be!) These are soft and stretchy but still look cute. They are on the short side, but will be great for workouts and hanging around the house. They are true to size and the green color is a nice pop of color. I hopped on amazon to order more and there are no more in my size. Hope they restock these!

Rare pocket
I love the color of these shorts. They are super comfortable. The best part? The pocket on the back waistband, it perfectly fit my bulky iPhone 11 with no noticeable additional carrying weight. Would buy again.

Great running/walking shorts
I had one pair of these shorts in the gray with black top and loved them so much I ordered two more, in different colors, on Amazon (I was so happy to find them here). I ordered the Medium and for reference I am 135 lbs, 5’3”. They are so comfortable and extremely flattering. I ordered the black and the teal and they look just like the photos. I plan on getting more in different colors and some back ups in black and gray.

Love these. Pregnant & PP friendly.
I love these! I struggled finding shorts that were comfy during my pregnancy — wasn’t into under the belly shorts and some high waisted felt too constricting.. these were the perfect mid rise solution. I sized up one size for my pregnant belly and they are plenty comfy and stretchy. Good length. Waistband is perfect. Love these!

Wow! Love these shorts!
My favorite shorts like this I’ve ordered BY FAR! They are comfortable and flattering. I’m 140 5’5” and I ordered a large. I could have probably gotten a medium but I can’t stand when my shorts are too tight. The large is still as flattering as can be. You won’t be disappointed in these!

Finally the shorts I’ve been looking for
These look just like my Lululemon shorts, but I like them even better- blasphemy! I have a hard time finding shorts that will stay put on me during exercise- I am bottom heavy (front tummy, hips), and unless they are super high rise and come up to my waist where I’m more tapered, they have a tendency to just slide down during intensive exercise, no matter how tightly in cinch them. These are the miracle cure- they look expensive and fantastic on, they are comfortable and move well (and don’t show sweat), and most importantly- they STAY STILL. The maternity pant style waist band is genius- clings to me like leggings and you can’t see it under my shirt (not that I would mind- it looks cute). I wish they weren’t sold out of the other colors.I did have to size up, but I normally do in shorts because I don’t like them to be too form fitting and I have very athletic quads. I’m normally a size 8 or a 10 in lulu leggings, a L in bottoms (or sometimes a medium) in bottoms, and I got an XL here. I’m pretty sure the L would fit fine (I have plenty of room, esp in the legs), but the XL looks fine, and they are out of Larges, so XL it is!

Great value, sizing larger than expected
Bargain hunters dream! Good quality. The liner color matches the shorts which I would not have expected of a lesser priced shorts like these. The waist band is flat, not ‘pinchy’ and no elastic bunches. Back zipper pocket is large but not enough for a phone.The sizing surprised me. I almost always wear Medium. I mistakenly ordered one pair at small. Small fits perfectly while the Medium is comfortablely loose at the waist but balloons out in the shorts. Fat too much fabric unless you want extra room in the lower hips/upper thighs.

Finally!
Once upon a time I had a favorite pair of shorts. One day while remodeling a house I sat in paint and ruined the best pair of shorts I’ve ever had in my life. I was more heartbroken than a 16 year old girl who got dumped for her best friend. Let the search begin. I have literally bought 15 pairs of shorts off Amazon in the last month. NONE of them filled the void in my heart. Then I saw it. Could it be, are these the exact same pair of shorts I had been missing? I have a bad habit of cutting tags off clothes so I couldn’t be sure. I ordered them, I got them, I instantly put them on, and FINALLY my search was over! My thick thighs cried out in pure joy! No more fabric riding up them, no more shorts so baggy they look like I’m wearing a diaper. They have just enough room for my legs without being huge in the waist. I don’t write a lot of reviews but my thick thighs would write a novel about these shorts.

Repeat purchase
I already own these shorts in several colors. Saw these on sale and decided to add another color to the collection. I like the way they fit I find them to be true to size. They don’t cut into my legs when I run. Truly my favorite pair/style. I’ve tried many many styles including more expensive brands.

Cute shorts
Shorts are cute and flattering. They are not high-end and I don’t think they will wick very well on super hot days. But they are a great option for travel or atypical workouts when you don’t want to lose or damage your favorite pair.

My favorite pair of running shorts
I am 4’11” and 128lbs with a stocky/athletic frame. I found these shorts so many years ago at a local store and could not find them anywhere again after that. Recently stumbled across them on Amazon and got a pair in every color. They are so comfy to run in and even lounge in. The back zippered pocket is very convenient for keys and an ID card. The shorts themselves are very breathable and lightweight yet secure without digging into you. There are built in briefs but they are so light weight and not restricting at all so I don’t mind them when normally I avoid shorts that have built in spandex/briefs. Amazon recommends that I order a small, but the size I have had for years was a medium and that’s the size I ordered. I feel that if I had gone with the recommendation from Amazon it would have been too tight and might have dug into my sides. There’s a drawstring in the waist too.

I love these shorts! I wore them around downtown Boston in the summer and they didn’t ride up at all. Love that they are versatile and can be worn for working out or just as a casual outfit. They fit true to size. The waist band is stretchy which is another plus! Overall, good quality and fit.

Love these shorts
You don’t always have to pay a lot for good quality. These are really well made, fit perfectly and are very comfortable. Compared to my daughter’s Lu Lu Lemon shorts, these are far better in my opinion.I’m 5’4″ and about 130 lb with an athletic build. I bought smalls. Initially I thought they were too tight but on my first run, they moved well and I’ve found them to be the perfect fit. I’d highly recommend these shorts.

Wish I had bought more pairs
I purchased these on Prime day and as soon as I got them I wished I had purchased multiple pairs. I’m 5’2”, 109 lbs with an athletic build and was afraid they would be too tight around my thighs but these are very loose and have extra leg room (which I love). I have a few pairs of other brands that are too tight around my thighs to lift weights in but these are perfect.

Very comfortable
I love these shorts! They are super lightweight and very comfortable. The waist is a tad on the high waisted side which I really like! They are a tad see through on the legs where the built in underwear doesn’t cover. But overall I’m very happy with these shorts! I would say they are true to size. I’m 5’4 and about 130 lbs. I ordered a small and they are a perfect fit for me!

My Favorite Running Shorts — I now own them in 4 colors
I only want to wear these shorts now when I run. I am in the middle of training for a half marathon and I just keep slowly ordering more colors. They are super comfortable, the perfect length and very flattering. I love the large zip pocket in the back and the comfortable waist band. They have the built in underwear that all running shorts need. I have them in Teal, Gray, Red, and my absolute favorite color, White.

Cheap & Comfortable!!
C9 workout wear has yet to fail me. These shorts are too cute. I average between a size small and medium and I’ve noticed that C9 workout shorts tend to run a BIT big but I went with a medium and it was roomy but fine for me. I have enough room in the legs and the waistband fits but if I workout in them they would definitely fall down but they have a drawstring where I can tie them tighter so that’s perfect. I like to have extra room in the leg area so the size I went with is great. Also, the waistband is EXTREMELY soft and comfortable. Definitely recommend!

No in between sizes.
I bought a pair in Large and X-Large. The large fit ok and felt like the squished down my already flat butt but the XL were HUGE and make me look frumpy. They are both comfortable in their own way. I don’t wear the XL in public bc they look sloppy being too big. I’m probably about a size 16 right.

Awesome Workout shorts
Perfect workout shorts. Comfortable, flattering & Fit perfectly. These shorts hide my post-baby belly without being too tight. Don’t ride up while walking. These are my go-to shorts. Perfect for working out, running errands AND lounging around the house. I air dry all of my workout clothes so I don’t know how they would fair in the dryer, but they still look great after several washes.

Same as Target shorts
I found a couple pairs of these at Target one summer and love them but Target stopped making it. Thankfully, the brand persists and I found them here. The fit is a little different, slightly tighter than my other C9 pairs from Target, but not bad overall.
