Okay, let's talk about these neoprene sweat shorts that promise to melt fat while making you look cute. First off, sizing is a NIGHTMARE. I'm 5'3", 140lbs and the medium felt like a medieval torture device around my waist. Had to size up to large - why can't brands just provide actual garment measurements?!
The good? They actually WORK. Like, sweat-dripping-down-your-legs-in-70-degree-weather work. I looked like I'd jumped in a pool after just 2 miles. Pro tip: bring backup pants and maybe don't wear cotton underwear unless you enjoy that soggy diaper feeling.
Fit-wise, they're surprisingly comfy for compression wear - no swishy sounds (hallelujah!) and the pocket is perfect for my phone during yoga. But that waistband? Needs serious redesign - rides up weirdly in front unless you have Kim Kardashian's proportions.
After just 3 wears, I swear my legs looked slimmer (or maybe I was just dehydrated from all that sweating?). Either way, they do what they promise - just be prepared to smell like a rubber factory until you've washed them about 20 times.
