Great leggings!
Special Size: 27.5" Full Length with Pockets, Size: Medium, Color: Black
These are great leggings! They’re my third pair. They are comfortable, lightweight, and fit great. I wouldn’t say they are buttery soft as compared to other leggings that are listed the same texture, however they are soft and smooth. The pockets are a must and are positioned perfectly.

So excited I found these!

Extremely impressed with these leggings! These athletic leggings are absolutely amazing! The material is incredibly soft and feels so comfortable against the skin. The quality is top-notch, with a durable yet flexible fabric that moves perfectly with your body. They are completely squat-proof, which makes them perfect for workouts, and they stay in place without sliding down, no matter how much you move. Some of my more expensive name brand leggings don’t check all the boxes; as these do! These leggings truly combine comfort, quality, and performance—highly recommended! Also- I am 5’3/5’4 and these hit right at my ankle

Love these!!!
Special Size: 7" Inseam without Pockets, Size: Large, Color: Ocean Blue
Super happy with these shorts!!! Wore them on a full day at the theme park. Stayed in place and did not ride up. No pinching or constricting. The material is buttery soft and the blue is so vibrant and pretty!! Don’t show every bump and imperfection, but does show some. It’s not totally smoothing. Very work out friendly, heat friendly, running errands friendly. Would definitely recommend and plan to buy other colors. Comfy waist band as well.

Excellent Work-out & Biking Short
Special Size: 7" Inseam without Pockets, Size: Small, Color: Ocean Blue
I love these biker shorts. They have just the right amount of lycra and they are super soft. They are true to size, and they fit perfectly on my 5'2", 125-pound frame. I purchased them for use in bike riding, and I am very pleased with the fit and stretch. The inseam length is perfect for bike riding, and the legs don't ride up my thigh. The only con to all the pros is there isn't a phone pocket. I ride my bike around town, and I would have liked to have a pocket for my phone when going inside a store. These shorts are well worth the price. I purchased three different colors and love them all. I would definitely purchase this item again.
