Exactly as the title states. I have a bubble butt - thick thigh combo, and every time I try something other than a biker short or a short with a very long inseam, it fails me. It’s a little harder because my waist is slimmer than my lower body, so it either fits one or the other. I often see women running with the cute V-cut shorts that are a little flowy I am wondering if I’m missing out! I’m kind of sick of the daily runner biker short only look, they’re definitely functional and they prevent chafing (until they’re worn through) but maybe I haven’t found what will be my new bff for the cute but functional chafe game! I do have bodyglide and I lay it on thick but sometimes it just doesnt cut it and the shorts I do have ride up (which is rather unflattering and uncomfortable digging the fabric out every 2 minutes). Maybe I’m looking for something that doesn’t exist. Maybe you wonderful people will lead me to the promised land product. I figured if anyone would know, it’s yall! Bonus points for high waist, maybe with a drawstring to actually fit the waist, and pockets. Thank you in advance!!

P.S. if there’s any general tips on sizing/fabric/ styles please share! Would love to know what has worked for you in the past💖
