New favorite shorts!

These shorts are amazing, unlike any other running tights shorts I've tried. The material is soft, light, and breathable, a perfect thickness. They stay put when running and lifting. The pockets are big enough to store gels, phone, and your keys. I was nervous about sizing. I'm a XS, but often size up to a S because my thighs/butt are usually too big for the liners inside most XS running shorts. I bought these in XS and was pleasantly surprised that they had stretch to accommodate my thighs without digging in anywhere. I'm seriously in love with these and want another pair! More colors, please 🙏🏼

Stellar for curvy fit girl

I was looking for a high waisted running short that doesn’t ride up or down or cut into my thighs or waist. I am 5’6, 29” waist, 41” hips, so I wear 8-10 depending on the pants. I got the L in these and tried them out on a 7.5 mile run. They were perfect! The anti-slip strips on the inside of the legs made it so that they didn’t ride up. The waist started out and I was able to adjust the tightness with the drawstring, and the material was lightly compressive but not strangling. I got both the midnight and sapphire colors, and both were really flattering. I will definitely be buying more of these!

Favorite long run shorts

I have these in the 5 and 7 inch. The pocket space is amazing. I don’t have to worry about having enough room for gels, my phone, and anything else I need to store. They also stay put. No falling off the waist and no riding up thanks to the little grips.

My new go-to running shorts

Ran 15 miles right after receiving these shorts and absolutely love them. They are super comfortable. The 2 side pockets held my phone, 2 gels and a small water flask without any issues. The silicon grips prevented the Shiites from riding up.
Highly recommend these shorts.

Janji shorts continue to deliver

I've worn Janji shorts/leggings almost exclusively for running in the past few years and these are another great pair. The pockets are noticeably smaller than the 7" but they still hold my small phone fine, and the shorter cut is preferable sometimes! I'll be interested to see how they hold up over time, as my 7" shorts stretch out after ~6 months of wearing 3-6x/week and washing 1x/week.

Best running shorts of all time

These are legitimately the best running shorts of all time. I've tried every brand you can think of. These work (don't ride up and provide coverage) AND are cute because of their shorter length. I have three pairs so far, please please PLEASE release more colors and patterns.
