Comfy waist, not overly tight, nor loose. Sits lower than the popular high waisted shorts...yayyyyy for me! Works on girls with a natural booty, as well as a squat booty. SQUAT PROOF! Even with your phone in the pockets, still squat proof! The leg holes aren't too tight. Over all, a great workout short. Definitely getting more pairs of this! It wasn't too short either. I felt confident in wearing these that my butt and girl parts wouldn't be on display and they weren't. Also, the black was not see through. Not even in 12pm lighting or bright artifical lights. I'm happy!
