Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

🚨If you’re looking for shorts to wear UNDER skirts or tunics, for the purposes of preventing chin rub, these are the ones you’re looking for!🚨 I’m not usually in the habit of posting pictures of my backside on Amazon but I felt a review that covers a few issues was needed. First of all, YES, these really are 95/5 (or thereabouts) cotton spandex, NOT polyester, unlike a lot of fraudulently described items on here. I have a sensitivity to most synthetic fibers but thankfully not spandex/lycra, and after a few washes and wears and a burn test I can confirm this is legit. Second, a few users have mentioned that the material is see-through. If you’re someone who’s usually comfortable wearing leggings as pants and looking to wear the BLACK shorts by themselves, you’ll probably be happy with the opacity (but remember that the more this kind of fabric is stretched, the more see-through it is - size up if you plan to wear these by themselves). You can see how much I had to crank up the brightness in that photo to demonstrate the point of translucence. And obviously, for the paler colorways, including nude, dark undies are going to show through. Never met a single-ply cotton-spandex blend garment for which this wasn’t true; please have realistic expectations for fabric. Third, these ARE long enough to get past the point where most thighs rub, and they DO NOT roll up! I’m very impressed with how good they are at this part of their job. Finally: These are clearly what are known as “safety shorts” in China/Korea/Japan, a garment meant to preclude up-skirt creepshot photography (which is why they’re described as underwear on the package, and the seemingly 100% cotton thigh gusset suggests they can totally be worn alone without underwear underneath), being marketed to western consumers as bike shorts. If you need a stand-alone garment, buy something else - but if you’re looking for safety shorts/chub rub prevention, these are excellent. I bought myself nine pairs. Good luck!
