Sweaty Betty Tempo Run shorts - In between sizes, any advise if you have worn these?

[tellmewhenthespaceshiplandscoz]

Treated myself in sale as have been after a pair of comfy, flattering shirts for running that I can safely house my phone in too. Have loved all SB run kit I’ve had in the past so happy to pay a little more for these.

I ordered them in S and M as annoyingly, I’m in between sizes. Normal go S on their full length power leggings and they fit great and aren’t too sausage effect in my waist ☺️

However I’m struggling to decide which ones to keep.

M - feel genuinely comfy, outer short isn’t too flappy however the inner short isn’t over tight but not sure if that’s a problem?

S - make me a bit of a sausage above the waist band, so feel considerably more restrictive and I may be imagining it but not sure if the outer shirt is riding up in my crotch area when I move IYSWIM?

Ive tried walking the dog in the M with tags hidden (so, not quite what I’m intending them for) and they feel comfy but in my head, as I haven’t worn cycling style shorts since I was 15 I’m thinking that part should be super super tight?

Wondering if anyone else was between sizes, what one did you go with and how did you get on?

Not these particular shorts, but if the small is moving at a walk they will 100% be out of place in seconds when running. And also you don't want to feel compressed! I'd go medium from the fits you've described.

I ordered some of these. Really wanted them. Put them on and my adult daughter started laughing. Said I looked like I was wearing a nappy.
No help to you, I know.
I’m sticking to their power shorts.

She's got in your head there - double shorts are everywhere at the moment (although personally I don't get on with them!)!

I’m going to walk the dog briskly in the S tomorrow am and see how I get on 😁. The M feel comfy but for some reason I feel like they should be sucking me in more than they are?!

So decided to keep the M as they seemed the better fit
