Fit is not proportionate

I bought one in each color. I usually fit in a Medium on bottom and these fit well. I get the stomach support I am looking for after having 3 kids. It covers my belly button. I am 5'6” about 155lbs for reference. I have used them for swimming and exercise and they are my favorite. Sometimes I wish they had a pocket for a phone but I still love them even without the phone pocket. There is a small pocket on the back of the shorts that would fit keys or cards in.

I liked the length of the shorts and compression of the material. I purchased the black and did not have any concerns about the fabric being see-thru. My only complaint, which is a big one, is that the waistband fabric is far too thick and felt akin to wearing a huge belt.

I absolutely love these! I purchased 12 pair of these (4 of each color) and they all fit perfectly! They are very comfortable!
