The holy grail of shorts.

Why don’t they make women’s shorts with big pockets? I’ve got a pair from under armour that I can’t even get my car keys in.

Marking my place.

Sweaty Betty have a great range of shorts. The ones that are like leggings have a good side pocket

I wear these. Back pocket big enough to keep a large (iPhone 7 plus) smartphone. Worn them for years. Really comfortable. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B008AGPOPM?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share&tag=mumsnetforu03-21

I find the arm straps much better

Boopear · 20/06/2020 11:21

If that link doesn't work it's the Ultrasport capri running trousers Smile

Amazon! I have some with a side pocket from NeonySweets. Cost £15 and they're superb. I have leggings from them too.

I think Decathlon have them but seem permanently out of stock in all sizes except XL....

Washinginthetimeofcovid · 20/06/2020 11:26

Yes decathlon and run mummy run do them big enough for smart phone.

wowfudge · 20/06/2020 11:27

I've got the M&S Go Move ones. Phone pocket at back. Flat drawstring inside the waist to adjust to fit.

Washinginthetimeofcovid · 20/06/2020 11:35

@wowfudge just looked in the website.

Is it these ones?

Yes - I got the navy. I also got some capri pants and they have the back pocket with a zip the same and a hip pocket without a zip.

I am delighted with these (pocket for phone and back pocket on the back of waist for keys):

Sorry! - just seen I have duplicated! :(

granhands1 · 20/06/2020 13:58

Lululemon, they are expensive but they have a pocket on the thigh that fits a phone etc. Their Fast and free shorts are good

Cuddling57 · 20/06/2020 14:00

I have a waist belt - they are great as you don't have to worry about what you are wearing. Fits loads too.

Fauchelevant · 20/06/2020 14:28

On the waist belts, does it really not feel uncomfortable when you get hot etc?

@fauchelevant I don't think so, it just feels like you are wearing wide waistband leggings or shorts

Fauchelevant · 20/06/2020 16:15

Great! Thanks sleep.

Fauchelevant · 20/06/2020 16:56

Sorry @sleepismysuperpower1 can I ask what size you wear? And what size are you, if that’s not too rude to ask?

OP posts:
sleepismysuperpower1 · 20/06/2020 20:32

ah no problem, I wear a medium (I think? It's dd's that I borrow and it doesn't show a size), I am size 10 normally :)

Fauchelevant · 20/06/2020 21:10

Brilliant thank you Smile
