ODODOS Control Pockets Athletic Tropical Reviews Summary

Fit and Comfort

Pros:

• "I am 140 pounds and 5’6. I like a comfortable fit, not too tight."
• "I love these so much that I just ordered 2 more colors. Im 5’6 and 155lbs, I got a medium because I like things to be snug and ‘held in’ not baggy. These fit perfect."
• "They are the most comfortable shorts that I own."
• "These shorts are super flattering because the waist band helps control mommy belly and the fabric is not see through."
• "The shorts stay in place when you squat or lift or even run."
• "They kept me smooth, but not compressed."
• "They stay in place and offer good support."

Cons:

• "I know bicycle shorts are all the rage, but if you have thick thighs these are NOT flattering."
• "I got the gray, and they're see through."
• "It's so frustrating as a petite woman that my only option is black! I would buy these in several colors, but once again us XS women are left with less options."
• "However, the olive green pair split out on the left leg on my first wear!"
• "The fabric was extremely nice, but the hems cut into my legs after a few hours."
• "I really liked the material and it felt great but does dig in on the thighs."
• "These fit well everywhere but the thighs."

Pockets and Convenience

Pros:

• "The pockets are great, could fit a phone nicely."
• "The pockets are convenient."
• "Love the side pockets to hold phone, earbud case, key, etc."
• "Pockets that hug your phone + wallet securely."
• "The side pockets are awesome!! My phone apple 6 fits in there perfectly and doesn't fall out."
• "Large pockets fit a phone."

Cons:

• "The pockets aren't deep. I have an iphone 11 pro & the phone didn't fit in the pocket."
• "Wish the pocket was slightly deeper or more coverage for my phone but it still does the job."
• "The material shows panty lines a bit more than some other brands that I have."
• "The pockets are large and deep.. I could fit my chapstick, keys, phone, and other miscellaneous items."

Quality and Durability

Pros:

• "They have held up well through washings."
• "Stitching totally holds up, the pockets are so handy."

• "This brand fits me perfectly, and is very consistently true to their posted sizing chart."
• "They also wash well."
• "They wash and retain their shape beautifully."
• "The material feels durable and it’s worth its price."

Cons:

• "*Edit to add: the fabric pills easily, especially on the seat. Knocked off one star for that, since I'm now concerned with quality and longevity."
• "So back in May I bought a pair of these in blue and LOVED them... the stitching on the leg is literally coming out??"
• "Wore under dresses not even to work out and shorts fell apart. Only had for 5 weeks, fell apart 1 week after my return window :("
• "I ordered three patterns of these shorts. The tropical and indigo were both see-through before even attempting squats."
• "It's fairly thin layer, if j were to snag it on something it would rip and expose my leg."
• "I was very disappointed after the 1st or 2nd washing that the fabric started pilling a lot."
• "But then they started losing some of their stretch. And on my navy blue pair a bunch of the sewing came undone."
