Tough Mode Apparel Women's 3" Athletic Workout Volleyball Running WOD Compression Shorts

First of all, let me preface by saying that it’s hard to get a feel for the size you need based on someone else’s review. I am 5’7 and 170 lbs due to weightlifting but I can usually still wear smalls in a lot of workout shorts.I bought 2 pairs so let me break it down the best way I know how.“STRIPE”These have very minimal stretch. A lot of reviews said to size up which I did (Medium) and they fit really well.A small would have definitely been uncomfortable since there is little to no give. They are fairly thick and a pretty sturdy pair of shorts. I prefer to wear these when I do upper body, deadlifts, etc. As far as squatting goes, mine are thick enough to squat in but I don’t prefer to because the inside of these shorts is completely white instead of the pattern so when these shorts roll up it looks a little strange.“BURGUNDY”In the solid pair I went with a size small. They are a thinner material and super stretchy. I LOVE them! Be mindful that unlike the pattern shorts, these have a hidden inner pocket (Some people like that, others don’t) I can do just about every type of workout in these including squat. They do roll up a bit but that is the curse for anyone with quads or larger thighs. Some reviews mentioned that they are not squat proof and that they are see through. Welllll, this happens with a lot of shorts and leggings made in this material and it may be overshare but I just go commando and cut the tags out. Also, I would not recommend either pair for running. Hope this helps someone!All in all, I love both of these pairs of shorts and they can’t be beat for the price. I will probably buy more soon!!

Fit great both leg length and waist. I ordered them in black, medium. I’m 5’8” 135 lb. Arrived much faster than expected and the seller even included a hand written thank you note. Ordering them in blue next!

5'9" 145lbs. Spent the morning wearing these shorts to run and lift weights. Only took a few minutes of running for these to ride up so far up my crotch that it was not enjoyable. While my cheeks weren't hanging out, it might as well have been a bikini bottom. The old man running behind did his best to keep up with me for the 3 mile run. He was carted off in an ambulance at the end. He was smiling though. The rear shot is doesn't show how far up they rode while running.Overall nice shorts and I will wear them again.

I usually wear xs in longer yoga pants and s in shorts. Ordered these in s and they fit perfectly. These shorts are very sturdy and the waist band is wide and comfortable. There is some concerns with camel toes, but I think it might not be noticeable because the patterns are so colorful and vibrant.

Body size: waist: 32", hips: 38".THE FIT: Originally I had purchased a size L for the print and solid shorts. Original fit; print pattern fit well, solid pair was loose. I then exchanged the solid pairs for a size M. The medium fit really well. Once I got the sizing worked out, I tried the booty shorts out on my weekly crossfit workout. The moves included box jumps, rowing, push presses, jump roping, and burpee's. The booty shorts did as expected which was ride up in to my crotch, my hips, and of course, my botoy... but just a little. Not any shorter than what I wear out at the pool. I would say that I felt I had more freedom with my moves while wearing these shorts than when I wear capri's. After the first wash, they fit almost the exact same. The waist band was just a touch snugger on the printed pair, but still very comfortable.THE MATERIAL: I had read other reviews about the printed pattern being thicker than the solid patterns and I completely agree. The printed pattern feels more "solid" around my posterior where as the solid material feels a little bit thiner, but it has a more stretch. I have washed my printed and solid pairs multiple times and the material has held up really well. However, I wash them in cold water and hang to dry.OVERALL IMPRESSION: These are my first pair of booty shorts. I REALLY like them. I wear them for every Crossfit workout now. I feel like I have freedom in my movement, sexiness that you can only get with throwing around some weight, and a fresh vibe with the fun and flirty colors and prints.Get ya some!!!

I like these overall, but having to constantly pull them down when lifting gets old because they curl and ride up. I think if they had some sort of silicone inside the legs to keep them from riding up, it would help. I sweat a ton when working out and it doesn’t show through which is pretty awesome.

When I first opened these up, I did not dig the material or fit. It's almost swimsuit like- thick and kind of that silky/slippery feel. My immediate impression was that they fit too tight in the crotch and were a little too snug everywhere else for my liking. However, I tried them on again to make sure I really didnt like them before I returned them and changed my mind. These are snug, yes, but they don't budge during workouts. Further, after a good pull to stretch out the seams (you know how you have to do that for some clothes?), the fit corrected and is perfect. They feel secure rather than limiting, and comfortable throughout the waist, butt, and thighs. Unlike my UA compressions, my large butt (I powerlift) stays covered no matter what I do. In the end, I'm very pleased with these shorts and will wear them often, especially for my occassional crossfit-like workouts that involve lots of jumping, bending, and moving, in general.

There was nothing "tough" or special about these shorts. I bought a plain black pair. These are thin, lightweight, barely there shorts, no type of compression or tight fit at all. Which translates to: they move around a lot when you move. The crotch area was not comfortable...constantly digging the material out of there. I don't like feeling seams in crotch area. So I will use then as a last resort, when all my other WOD shorts are in the laundry.

Tolles Design. Ist nicht durchsichtig. Ist mal was anderes.
