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.

love!

I love these shorts. They move with me and the grips on the bottom are snug but not too tight or uncomfy. The pockets are steady and can hold a good amount without bouncing. Love!

Great Shorts!

Every year I buy a new pair of shorts with pockets to wear while marathon training. This year, I picked these shorts! The pockets keep my phone snug as I run. The shorts stay put and don’t move around, so chaffing shouldn’t be an issue! The material is on the thinner side, so it will be great for warm summer training sessions. Overall, this is a great product!

I go between XS and S in size and went with a small. They are my go-to shorts for running now!

Best running spandex

I ran track in high school and college and always struggled to find the right shorts. Regular shorts would always ride up. For spandex, it was hard to find the right length, other brands wouldn’t stay secure; they always slid down or rode up my thighs. These are better than any Walmart, nike, tj max shorts I’ve had. The waistband isn’t too tight and doesn’t cut into my stomach, and you have the option to tighten it with the draw strings. The grips on the inside of the thighs keep them in place during a run or workout. Would buy 5 more pairs if I had the money. I did have to order a size up from what size the size guide said would fit me.
