UPDATE: Fabulous, BUT--quality varies by color!
I'm updating my review because the seller completely fixed my problem, but I still think I should mention briefly that I originally purchased the CHARCOAL and they were not what I expected (although they may be what some people are looking for so I left the original review down below). However, I now have the BLACK shorts and they are everything I wanted.They're the spandex-y, tight kind that I wear for running or hiding my pot-belly, but they're also really lightweight and comfortable. The little pockets are FANTASTIC. Before these shorts I did a lot of weird things to secure my belongings while running (usually to no avail), but now I simply pop in my headphones, slide the iPhone in, and go! They're like a second skin but with more security :-)And also they're just the right length. I'm too self-conscious to wear short-shorts and fully expose my thighs because they're covered in scars, but I sweat like a madwoman in the summer so I didn't want to wear leggings either. These shorts are the perfect in-between: I'm not melting inside them but I can also focus on running without worrying about accusations of exhibitionism.I'm really glad to have these.Here's what I wrote before about CHARCOAL:So these shorts (I got "Charcoal") fit extremely well and are really stretchy and soft and comfortable (I got Medium and am a 5/6 in most clothes), but the first thing I noticed when I put them on was how thin they were! I wasn't expecting it because most of my exercise pants have a little bit of a thicker, shiny fabric, but these are just soft, thin cotton so I had to keep pulling down the crotch to disguise my cameltoe D-:Another thing: Because these are so soft and thin, the "tummy control" feature doesn't really hold in the little pot-belly I've gotten over the past year (I gained FORTY pounds from medication side-effects and am newly self-conscious). I thought the fabric would compress my thighs and my belly but it doesn't.I'm also concerned that sweat will become visible during an intense workout. It's a dark-grey fabric, but I went out in the rain for a minute and there were black spots where the pants got rained on.The bottom line is, these are thin, soft, stretchy shorts with nice little pockets on the side (perfect size for my iPhone which doesn't slip out), but they don't do the job when it comes to compression (I wish I got the black ones instead of charcoal. From the information I've read it seems like they are more of the type of fabric I was expecting) and they are unfavorably revealing--I mean I wanted my butt and my belly to look tight and hard in these pants but instead I just feel naked with a layer of cotton cradling my bottom half.Ver másVer menos
