Shorts that don’t move

Any recommendations for cycling style shorts which don’t ride up? Mostly for CrossFit style classes so weights/squats/running. I like my sweaty Betty power leggings. Do their shorts stay put? I got some tight H&M ones on Vinted but they give me major front wedgie and I’m forever pulling them down 😂

No advice but I assume this is why the hot pants style is now very in. Any length at all and for me they ride up

Sweaty Betty 9 inch power shorts stay put for me.

Try Happy Stride. They are great quality, loads of pockets, stay put, high waisted, and are half the price of Lululemons/Sweaty Betty.

Yes, maybe. I do prefer the shorter styles as anything longer makes my legs look so stumpy. But at the wrong side of 45 I don't want to expose too much!

Thanks, I'll take a look. Not heard of those.

i have a pair from Decathlon that were about £8 which are fine (my thighs are not insignificant either!) or Flanci.

I love pursue fitness cycle shorts. They don’t budge!

Nike or Uniqlo now have some good ones that don’t ride up

I've just got some from M&M direct. Brand is MyProtein and they were £2.99! Wore them to the gym last night and they are fab!

I wonder if getting the right size/fit is more important than the actual brand. My current ones are too tight I think.

To answer your question, Sweaty Betty power shorts don’t move at all in my experience! Also got some cheaper ones for CrossFit from Gymshark and they seem great too.

SweatyBetty Power shorts, especially if the leggings already work for you. I have both 9 and 6 inch. I am chunky thighed the the material is thick which is flattering but not too warm. I’ve run marathons in them and not chaffed.
