Get these while you can!

These shorts have the perfect stretchy waist band. I love that the waist band is wide, so it helps to minimize/eradicate any 'muffin top' lol. I bought two pairs because I wear these around the house frequently in the summertime.

No inner lining

These shorts do not have the inner panty lining. I assumed they did and should have read the description better. I bought in multiple colors and they are all going back. They also run big.

PLEASE bring back the liners

These are by far my favorite shorts (the original version with the brief liner). I own 14 pairs (my full-time job is active + outdoors lol). I’ve put soooo many people onto these shorts…. I genuinely haven’t bought another brand or style of athletic shorts in YEARS. but my unwavering dedication to these died when they removed the brief liners :( They’re too flowy without the liner that the second you sit down or god forbid the wind kicks up….. yo cheeks are out!!!! everyone can see everything!! scary!!! Please I am BEGGING you to bring back the built in liners — if people complain & don’t like them, they can cut them out. but us die-hard liner girlies cannot sew them in </3. add $4 to the price if it’s a cost issue on the production side. I personally vow to by another 14 pairs if you bring back the built in liners. and whatever you do… don’t add spandex shorts as liners or I will fully crash tf out.

Perfect summer short

It's not summer yet but I can already tell I'll be living in these and bought another 2 pairs. Was concerned my cheeks may be out accidentally, as another reviewer mentioned, but I did not run into that problem.

Perfect Shorts

Very lightweight and breathable. I love that it doesn’t have built in underwear. I’m constantly searching for shorts in this material but they always have built in underwear. These shorts are perfect
