Nike Pro Sculpt

The Nike Pro Sculpt Women’s Dri-FIT High-Waisted 5" Shorts is perfect for busy toddler moms like me who are always on the go. Having a toddler means dealing with everyday messes, whether it’s little hands wiping on my clothes or unexpected spills. Luckily, these shorts are easy to clean. I can simply wipe them down with a baby wipe, and they dry quickly. One change I would make is to the elastic waistband. Although it has a decent amount of stretch, it makes my lower belly pouch more prominent rather than smoothing it out. Even when I wear a bigger T-shirt, I still feel a little insecure about how it looks. Another change I would make is the design. Personally, I’m not a fan of clothing with large logos, especially when they take up a significant portion of the thigh. I would prefer a more subtle design without the large words covering more than half of the right thigh. On the other hand, the material thickness is just right. It isn’t too thick or too thin, making the shorts comfortable and flattering, especially on my legs. One of my favorite features is that the shorts stay in place! Whether I’m walking or chasing after my son, the thigh area doesn’t ride up, so I don’t have to worry about constantly pulling them down. This also means I don’t have to worry about chafing. Overall, I highly recommend these shorts for their comfortable, quick-drying Dri-FIT material, the way they flatter my legs, and the fact that they stay in place without riding up.

To be perfectly honest, I hated these. I was optimistic opening the package, but could feel how thin the shorts were as soon as I took them out. They immediately reminded me of my husband's compression shorts boxers. When I put them on, it felt even worse. The compression was insanely tight while the fabric was so thin. I definitely would not wear these out of my house. Even selecting a bigger size, the material was too thin to wear out of the house. With how tight they were I did not find them comfortable to wear exercising in my house, despite them looking like a great albeit unflattering option. For me, these shorts needed slightly less compression and more substantial material for them to pass as shorts vs underwear.
