Contour Ultra-High Rise Short - Porcelain

I got a medium in these - I’m 5’2, 125lbs with a 28-30inch waist. These were loose fitting, and the front bunches up in an extremely unflattering way. I could have definitely sized down to a small. The color itself is beautiful, though due to how light it is, I’m not sure I would strength train in them. They would be good for yoga or Pilates, though, given the fabric is soft and stretchy. Last thing, and this one’s on me, is that they are not flattering on people like me who carry most of their weight in their midsection. I look like a muffin wearing these. My fupa? Diabolically exposed. It feels like this type of athletic wear is suited for people who already have a fit (with less fat) stomach. For now, I’ll stick to my Lululemon Wunder train shorts. The quality was quite nice, but the fit was a miss for my body type.

Longer than expected compared to purchases in the past and bunches weirdly/ unflattering under the glutes.

I like the design and the feel, but these could be improved. The waistband is way too tight, it’s too small for size. I am usually a s/m, but I would definitely need a L in this to feel comfortable. Material is nice, just way too tight.
