The Shorts Report
You can check out my first installment of the Shorts Report here. I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect shorts, and frankly it’s a bit overwhelming. When I posted this on my Instagram stories I got a ton of responses. I still get quite a few “suggestions” from people.
Here’s what I’ve found is the issue for myself, specifically. I plan to never, ever, ever buy compression shorts with a front seam EVER AGAIN.
I realized that while longer shorts seem great in theory, it’s really the front seam that is the major issue with shorts riding up. ALL shorts ride up on me, ALL of them, even my favorite shorts that I’m going to talk about and recommend to you. However, without a front seam, it doesn’t ride up into the wrong places, if you get what I’m saying.
While I did try a ton of Amazon shorts, I’m not really interested in telling you about them. They all had front seams, they all annoyed the sh!t out of me. I will make it my last post in case anyone is interested and doesn’t care about front seams.
So here are the shorts without front seams that I’d love to share with you. You can click each item name to take you to my full review of each item. If there isn’t a link yet, check back short-ly (haha) as I haven’t finished the post yet.
