Great shorts

These fit great, feel great, and stay put. I don’t have to keep lowering them all the time. I’m 5’2” 115lbs with a waist at about 25” and the size 4 fit great! I usually wear a small.

Amazing!

These are so cute and soft!! I’m obsessed. Life changing! So glad I’m using something that’s good for me and the planet. Definitely buying every color of every item aktiiv offers!!

comfy!

These aren’t quite my favorite like the leggings, but high quality and super comfy! I wish they had the beautiful blue color in shorts but I got the grey, maybe that’s why I love the leggings so much. Highly recommend this company!

Super cute and functional

These shorts fit well and stay up, without squeezing my waist too much. Minimal muffin top 😎! Got really sweaty during my workout but it didn't look like I peed myself 👍. Love the color too. Size chart said to get a size 8, and the 8 fits great.

Great fit and I appreciate the longer length as I intend to wear for Spin class as the weather gets warmer.
Fit and sizing is like the original legging without the pockets.

Thunder / 6

I would have liked the charcoal color and size 8 instead of having to settle fir the thunder size 6. The fit and feel are the same “luxurious”. Wish my size and color werent“sold out” for over a year!

Grey shorts

I’ve wanted to switch my activewear to less harmful chemicals the more I find out about how the fabric we wear affects us as women. I tried several brands and these are the only ones I haven’t sent back! I’m ordering a second pair as we speak! Love them and the feeling. I got the lighter grey and it’s not see through but it does show my cellulite a lil more than I would like but not enough to not wear them. Ya feel me?! so I’m ordering a darker pair as my next ones but I’m really digging this brand!

Great fabric

I have reviewed a pair of your leggings before, these are excellent. I love the fabric. The only thing I wish is that they would come with a side pocket. The front pocket is uncomfortable for a iPhone.

Healthy Alternative

The shorts are a great alternative to high quality brands such as Lululemon, Vuori, Beyond Yoga, and Athleta I has previously purchased. I will be purchasing more Aktiiv clothing!

Amazing, they fit perfectly!

Beautiful and comfortable fabric! I bought them because they’re nontoxic and sustainable but I’m pleasantly surprised at how flattering they are.

I’m 5’6” and 130lbs. I bought a size 6 and they fit perfectly! I love how the waist doesn’t roll down either. 10/10 would recommend!

Love these shorts!!

I love these shorts so much, I’m even using them for bjj and I’m slowly switching all my toxic polyester shorts to these! They are just as comfortable as my polyester ones, only thing I wish is that there were more colors so I could have a different color for everyday of the week!

So soft and comfortable

I’m shocked that plant based material can be this AMAZING! I love these shorts and definitely plan to buy more products 😍

Just arrive! So cute and they feel great.

the BEST shorts

These are the best fitting shorts I have ever owned. I have an hourglass shape with muscular thighs and glutes and they don’t squeeze my thighs or roll up and the waist doesn’t get pulled down! The fabric is also incredible, it’s better than Lulu Aligns IMO. In terms of sizing, I have a 29” waist and 40” hips and the size 8 was perfect so the size chart is super accurate.

Love them! Was worried they weren’t going to make my butt look as nice as others but my 🍑 looks just as nice !

LOVE!

I love the material, the fit, the flex - they don't slip and just feel great. + Non-toxic... does it get any better??

Great eco-friendly bike shorts!

These shorts are super comfortable! So far they have been great during the couple of cycling and running workouts I have worn them for. Definitely consult the size chart! I ordered the 8 based on my measurements, even though I usually end up with a 6 or a 4 in other pants, and the 8 is the perfect fit!

Super comfortable!

I love how the shorts fit and look on me and great material. They don't ride down or dig into my waist.

Very soft material, but light on compression

Super soft material and very comfortable shorts. I’ll definitely wear these for light workouts, running errands and lounging. There’s little to no compression though (I ordered my normal size) so they’re not ideal, for me, for a gym workout.
