I really wanted to love these maternity athletic shorts, but they ended up being a mixed bag.
What works:
The material is super soft, breathable, and comfortable—definitely lightweight and cozy for lounging or low-impact activity.
I sized up hoping for a looser fit, and although the belly panel fit fine, the rest didn’t!
Where they fall short:
Even after sizing up, the shorts felt tight on my thighs—no extra room for thicker legs.
The legs rode up constantly, especially when walking or sitting—exactly the ride-up issue I was trying to avoid.
The fabric, while comfy, feels a bit thin—fine for casual wear, but I wish it had more structure.
Overall:
Soft and pleasant against the skin, yes—but if you're looking for a pair that offers real thigh-room and stays put through movement, these aren’t it. They're okay for lounging or brief wear, but not the performance maternity shorts I hoped they'd be.
