Stonewear Designs Pull Shorts (For Women)

I bought these shorts specifically for bikram / hot yoga after reading previous comments. They are comfortable and breathable, and the side string allows you to customize the length. They were great, didn't ride up and stayed dry when I got sweaty - a winner for working out in!

As described, these are short-shorts...I like the drawstring adjustability on the sides of legs & nice fabric in shark-grey color. Would be better if the elastic in the waistband was wider to match width of waistband itself, but OK b/c of tight-ish fit. Great hot yoga shorts.

These shorts are too short for most activities other than working out. They are fitted around the leg so they can work for yoga or other workouts where you want freedom but don't want to be concerned about exposure. Anyway, my daughter took them so they must be OK.

This is the third pair of this style of shorts that I own. They work great for hot yoga.

My #1 complaint about these shorts is that the elastic in the waist is not as wide as the waistband. It makes me wonder if they just used whatever elastic was cheapest. Otherwise, the shorts are fine and the small key pocket is a nice feature. One thing - with that elastic waist, unless you are very toned around the middle you'll wind up with a bit of a bulge over the waistband. I got a size L and they are perfectly comfortable but I'm not too happy to see that bulge in the mirror when I'm at yoga.

I bought these hoping to use them as swim shorts and they look like they will work very well. I can adjust the length on the sides and they cover incredibly well while still looking cute and flattering. The only thing I'm not sure about is whether they will snag on concrete often found around pools.

I noticed the other reviewers sound like skinny minis. I'm definitely a medium (8-10) and they are very flattering. High quality fabric. They have a cotton crotch which I didn't realize until they showed up. I'm thinking a person could even wear them for swimwear.

These shorts are very comfy and sexy. I wear size xs and it fits me perfectly. I enjoy wearing it to do yoga. The strings stay put the whole time. The shorts dry very fast after washing.

I could use these shorts daily to teach my yoga classes. They are comfy, stylish (pull the string to take the outer side up), and the color is trendy. They are quite short and the M size is a real M. If you hesitate between S and M, you should consider to order a S size.
