BMJL Athletic Waisted Running Elastic Reviews Summary

Fit and Sizing

Pros:

• "I love the waist on these shorts. No riding up or down and they fit true to size."
• "I got my typical size in bottoms (medium), I’ve got a big butt and muscular thighs."
• "True to size, very comfy and don’t ride up, wore them for my 7miler and didn’t bother me the whole time."
• "I’m 5’9” and around 150lbs and these were a pretty good length for me."
• "They fit true to size and have a nice lining on the inside to make you feel secure."
• "With the elastic waistband, there is a lot of give in the sizing."
• "They are so flattering and don't ride up in the front or back at all."

Cons:

• "Shorts run really small. I normally wear an XL or XXL. Ordered the 2xl and couldn't even get them over my hips."
• "I usually wear a large but this runs really tight around the waist and rides down which I hate…"
• "I have multiple pairs of these shorts in black and I love them! I ordered a pink pair, same size, but they do not fit the same."
• "When comparing with my black ones I realized the printed pair where bigger in the legs due to inconsistent sizing."
• "I buy a small in everything without having to give much thought to fit, but these were both too tight in the elastic waste and too short."
• "These ride up on my curvy thighs and they’re a little smaller than expected."
• "The fit isn’t flattering unless you have a flat stomach."

Comfort and Quality

Pros:

• "I absolutely love these running shorts and have multiple pairs."
• "I am impressed with how well they are made, the built-in underwear stay put, and the color is so pretty!"
• "They’re so soft and comfortable and don’t budge when you’re walking!"
• "The lining inside is buttery soft and does NOT ride up uncomfortably."
• "They are comfortable and don't ride up even when I am working in my flower garden or mowing the lawn."
• "The quality is nice and holds up well through workouts and washing."
• "I am very impressed by the quality, especially for the price."

Cons:

• "The material does feel on the cheaper manufactured side."
• "After wearing them twice, the zipper broke which is super disappointing."
• "The white is very see-through in the back so that’s a con."
• "These shorts definitely didn’t meet my expectations. They have a weird inside to them which I thought it would be a double layer (as in spandex shorts underneath)."
• "I kept seeing a very thin influencer rave about these shorts. They are incredibly soft and good quality but if you have thick thighs they will bunch up BADLY so these are only for those with thigh gap."
• "The waistband is thick like boxing shorts and the material is a little see thru."
• "These used to be my go to shorts for working out. I have them in three colors purchased in early 2023. I ordered another pair in January 2024 and inexplicably, the back is longer than the front."

Design and Features

Pros:

• "These shorts are very flattering and good dupes of the more expensive popular brand."
• "I love the modern style of the high and thick waistband too."
• "These shorts are a super cute color, and it's nice that they have pockets."
• "They are super cute and very flattering and I love how many colors these come in."
• "I love how high the waist band is and the zipper."
• "I love how they have built in underwear & a small zipper pocket on the left side."
• "The pocket is perfect to hold my phone on my runs."

Cons:

• "My only complaint is that they only have 1 pocket and there wasn’t a whole lot of color options for bigger sizes."
• "Pocket can fit my phone but not comfortable to keep there for a run."
• "My only negative is that the pocket is only on your left side."
• "These shorts are the best! The only improvement I would wish for is to have two pockets instead of one."
• "The pocket was perfect for my phone as well!"
• "Also love the zippered pocket on the side for my phone."
• "The pocket is actually able to fit my scissors, gauze, bandaids, and gloves without looking bulky."
