I wanted to love these but unfortunately they just didn’t work for me. The legs rode up big time while running and because they are 5in it just felt like a lot fabric bunched up and I get a serious wedgie.

Perfect for Running or Lounging!

It was my first time trying out the essential bird shorts (and the material) and I love the fit and feel. I first bought the redwood color, then purchased the ink blue because I liked them so much! The waistband is not to tight which bothers me with out types of compression shorts.

Fit great!

Really surprised by all the reviews saying they ride up! I have large thighs and I find these fit perfectly. It's possible that they work for me because I wear them a little loose (i.e. not super compressive/tight). These would be my favorite year-round running shorts if they had side pockets for my phone. Please @oiselle make side pocket shorts from this fabric!

Disappointing

I have several pairs of the “basic bird shorts” that are perfect for me for running. I needed a new pair, went to my order history , clicked on the prior order and it led me to these “essential bird shorts. I was skeptical but ordered them and am disappointed. They ride up severely while running. I took them out for a 4 mile run today and was pulling at the legs the whole time. Kind of strange and disappointing for compression shorts. They don’t really ride up when just lounging at home, but clearly I bought them for running and now can’t use them for running and kind of hate that.
