2XU Women's Motion Mid-Rise Compression Shorts - High Performance Running & Workout Shorts for Women | Perfect for Gym, Yoga & Marathon Training

When these arrived and I tried them on, they felt great right away. I left them on the rest of the day! They're well made, lightweight, and flattering. They fit like a second skin. On brisk walks (I'm not a jogger), I noticed that they "hold me in" without being too tight or constricting, and made my movement feel more efficient. Truly a pleasure to wear, when working out or to run errands. I'll probably order a second identical pair - one to wear, one to wash. I'm 5'7" and 160 lbs, and the Large fits just right. Highly recommended.I own many 2XU gears. This one is not the same quality, odd fit and little compression. I tried it on and decided to return it. However, it's not as easy as my usual Amazon purchases where I could return at a nearby Amazon designated location. I'd need to re-package it and pay the shipping! So I decide to keep it. Oh well, I'll take it as a lesson I paid.I like the longer length in these shorts to prevent chafing for my races, and they don't ride up when I run, which was my biggest concern. The compression was helpful, especially since I tend to get tight in my hip flexors and IT bands on longer races. My only complaint is that they are a bit see-thru. I tried sizing up (in a store), but the compression was ineffective and the shorts rode up. I'm wondering if I just got a bad one or that's how they are.As another reviewer noted, the camel toe effect on these shorts is truly astounding. I ordered my usual size of small. and the gusset cut right up my crotch (sorry for the visual), making things quite painful down there, even when standing still. This also meant the shorts had the same effect as an ultra push-up bra, except on an area of the body that shouldn't be visually enhanced unless one is looking to enter a certain profession. The hips, waist and thighs fit fine, so this wasn't a matter of incorrect sizing. Being very active, I use a lot of skin-tight sportswear from various brands, and have never had this problem. I'm slim, with little excess weight, so I doubt my chub is the culprit.The material for the black color is a bit on the sheer side. When I held the shorts up to the light, and held my hand against the inside, I could see it somewhat, so I imagine they would become even more revealing when stretched.I love this brand! I'm an avid cyclist that just had abdominal circumferential surgery. As I recover and try to get back into cycling form, I'm doing a lot of cardio at the Y (step classes, Zumba, elliptical, lap swimming) after (and during when not swimming) each workout, I need strong uniform compression. These are perfect!Tight fit when you put it on but I felt comfortable in them during the whole day while competing in a mud raceI found that it did not provide as much compression as the CW-X shorts that I have. The material is rather thin. I ended up switching shorts about 18 miles into my 50 mile race.perfect for my long runs. will be buying another pair.My previous review of these was for a different pair of shorts! oops.I thought these 2XU shorts would be ok for me as I have another pair/same size but I didn't like these as much. These have an uncomfortable thick seam at the crotch, so I returned these.Bought these for my wife who was having issues with her hip while running. These were brilliant. Completely resolved the pain. My wife won't run without these now. I can't speak more highly of this product. It's always great to find a product that does what it's designed and sold to do.Bought these for running. Thought I'd try the compression shorts before purchasing the leggings.Worth the moneyDefinitely support my hip and hamstring.Could be deeper on the tummy, prefer a high waist. Does roll down a little at waistband. However, this prob due to my shape not the product.Training for a marathon. These shorts have changed everything. Constume fail is a thing of the past. Would be amazing to have different colours.Using the shorts for running after struggling to find some that don’t ride up! These work perfectly! On the size guide I was bang on the line between small and medium so ordered the medium, they fit well but ordered a small pair after so I could feel the compression a little better.
