Joey Short in Coral My Name

I wanted to hold off to review these until I had a chance to do both of my exercises of choice in them, my 3x a week strength and cardio class as well as running. These are a little shorter than I usually get for workout wear, I'm 5'3 and pear shaped so chafing is a real issue for me. I couldn't resist the octopus pattern though and after reading the reviews, seeing a 20% promo code and getting excited about shorts from plastic bottles I decided to go for it. I got a large, my usual size for tights/bike shorts and the fit is great. No pinching or muffin topping, no sagging. They are very cute and flattering shorts. They handled great for my workout class. Complements on the fun pattern were immediate. I was really pleased that despite how light the fabric is that it was squat proof (and we do many, many squats). No chafing was experienced. The waistband never slipped down. Class is outdoors and it was hot, but these were breathable. The only con was that occasionally the fabric on the legs flipped up about an inch showing the white color below. Unfortunately, they didn't work well for running for me. Like I mentioned before, I usually go a little longer for running shorts. These were bought really just for my workout class so I'm not unhappy, I just wanted to see if I'd be super duper happy and be able to run in them. Alas, my tree truck thighs were not having it. An eighth of a mile in the fabric in the legs were riding up to boy short panty height. There was much yanking down. I would absolutely order from Yoga Democracy again for shorts, I'd just go a little longer on the length next time.

These are so flashy and badass. I love how they feel light and not too "there". Very comfortable.

This is my first pair of YD and I was surprised at how thin the fabric is, but it’s so comfortable and cooler. Love the artwork

I absolutely love these shorts! I'll confess that besides wearing these for working out and lounging, I also wear them to sleep. They are comfortable and (honestly) I feel bare ***** (and it's freedom! Hahaha) Who would have ever thought that recyclable material would be so soft. Ha! And breathable! Double ha! Also, the high waist and 14 cm above my cute knees pear up nicely. Look, I'm a little plump and my pear shape silhouette is a definite attention grabber, so these shorts give me the freedom to feel sexy but ease of mind that I am being conservative. So, in my opinion the length is modest. I also walk tall and confident in a small size; I am 5" (which I measure from my head up, joking that's actually how I measure my intelligence, LOL), about 39" around the hips and a 32" waist. By the way, the material is not "see-through" (says my mirror and my boyfriend as I bend over to double check! I crack myself up! LOL) Beyond the specs the Joey short is one of the best shorts I've worn! Oh, and knowing that it's Eco-friendly and manufactured from recyclable material I feel that am contributing to our ecosystem. P.S. Kudos to the women entrepreneurs running this small Arizona-based business, those who sow them, the creative engineer minds, and any small businesses around the world. May you be well and prosperous. Now, sea for your self!
