AUROLAIntensify Workout Shorts for Women Seamless Scrunch Short Gym Yoga Running Sport Active Exercise Fitness Shorts

I saw these on Tiktok and I was a bit skeptical to purchasing because I wasn’t sure how they would look on me. I’m 184 lbs and these are very mid size/ plus size friendly. I tried them on and immediately loved the tummy control around my waist and I loved the compression around my thighs. The compression is strong enough that when I squat or workout intensely, I won’t need to worry about my shorts riding up. They are pretty cozy and I like the teal-ish green color too. They are considered “scrunch” leggings so there is a small scrunch line in the back but I feel like they the leggings look flattering. I will definitely purchase more for the summer! ☺️

To start I own 5 other pairs of these in the darker colors and they are true to size after 1 or 2 wears.I have the navy, cobalt blue, dark purple and cherry red, and dusty pink colors in these shorts so far. They are my absolute favorite gym shorts. I have never owned the alphalete shorts to compare and probably never will due to all the horror stories. I am glute heavy and everyone I know has a scrunch rip on them in the gym at some point with the alphaletes. That's a no for me friends. I can honestly say I loved these better than gymshark and all the gymshark and NVGTN dupes out there. They are soft, super stretchy and not hot at all (which I find all the GS shorts to be stiff and hot, NVGTN are nice but sizing is always tricky).I really wanted some summer colors, have watched tons of tiktok reviews as well as went through all the reviews with photos here on amazon. I decided to go with my original size first in my original order. I would like to note I'm latina, with thicck thighs and I am glute heavy. These were too sheer in every colorway I bought (I have the blue, green and orange). I think my thighs and my glutes definitely played there part in making them more sheer than they would be on a less curvy body type. I would say they were like 35% squat proof. Definitely not leg day appropriate (I wouldn't even bend down in these in the gym on an arm day lol). I have tanned, bronze skin so I can get away with most sheer gym shorts that are at least 60% squat proof usually (I am also a commando gyms shorts girl, because I HATE underwear lines). I returned all 3 colorways and order a size up. The light blue was the most sheer on me in my original size with orange and green not far behind.In the size up I would say these are now up to my 60% squat proof margin when adjusted correctly (I scrunch up the leg length and pull all excess fabric in the crotch area back towards my glutes and the squat so all the material gathers between my cheeks) This is what makes the shorts just look slightly opaque when I squat in them. I would now wear them all leg day no problem. Couple of notes: the waist on the size up feels relatively the same compression as my original size large (45" hips, 32" waist, 5'8 for ref), the lower tummy region, legs and glutes all have a ton of extra fabric. I had a ridiculous amount to readjust and move around. The scrunch now sits a bit higher than the top of my glutes (fine for me because I can fiddle to get where I need it). Lastly, the thighs fit so much better! My size larges are always rolling up, I hate it! However the waist, butt scrunch and amount of material is just better on the large for me.To conclude do these ONLY IF your good with about 60% squat proof, go commando or have a seamless thong the exact color of your skin, have a darker skin complexion (will hide the sheerness rather than highlight it) and your willing to size up and deal with extra material. If you're not good with them appearing opaque (the colors of the waist band are much richer and will highlight that these can be sheer) then I would skip on these and get the darker alternatives. The least sheer on my skin tone so far was orange (probably because I'm brown so I can hide it better). The green is doable but pushing it and I haven't received the blue yet in the new size but I think it wont be too bad.PS: THESE WILL HIGHLIGHT ALL THE CELLULITE, BUMPS AND DIMPLES YOU HAVE! I don't struggle with this but when doing a couple exercises in the mirror it was the first thing I noticed.I hope this extremely long review will help!

The size fit well, and I'm a 4'10 girl with thick thighs, small waist, and chicken butts. it's a stretchable but doesn't wear out for over time. It stretched almost to my knees, but it tightened my inner thighs, making my chicken butt look good except squishing my inner thighs looking like a twig lit. it goes over the the stomach and has some stomach control. In this picture I will show ones folded and one not.

I CHUG water when I work out so the bloating and waist compression are not besties so,times and I get nauseous but I just say yolo and roll the waist down for the rest of the workout. No one cares, my ass looks good, and I am motivated to deadlift.The seamless thing is meant to prevent cameltoe but if you rly want that wedgie nice butt look then ur gonna get cameltoe 2.0 cuz where are them lips supposed to go. I also don't care. Just don't care and you'll be fine.

Material is very soft similar to the AYBL Balance series. In between sizes so I ordered both XS and S. The XS had a more suitable length for me but I preferred the less constricting waist band of the size S. The material was very stretchy so the S inseam felt more like 6-7”. Fun colors. Not bad for the price and ships a lot faster than AYBL (which ships from the UK)

First, the shorts so not pile like the leggings. This is after various washes (I wash these inside out). They do not ride up on my thighs when I workout. I have the dark purple color, so they are less sheer than lighter colors. Perfect if you can wear the same colored (more or less) underwear. Decent compression, but not super tight. I don’t really have a problem with the waist band rolling down either.

The media could not be loaded.  So my friend and I bought two different brands of shorts for the gym since we need more. I bought these of course cause tiktok…. The videos are reviews of what I made for my friend, at first I was scared because I thought they were see through. I got a XL but I couldve gotten a large. I am for reference 214 pounds size large-xl measurements from their sizing indicated for me to get a large but I went up a size either way because I always heard they were see through. They are not you couldn’t see my underwear what you see if where the scrunch is there’s like a thong type outline to the leggings. I did the squat test and deadlift test with out flash, flash with light on and flash without light on. I noticed with flash videos the deadlift is see through but they are squat proof which is all I really need since I don’t deadlift anymore! I will update in a couple days when I wear for leg day :) I’m going to try to deadlift at the gym with them to see if they are see through since in my home lighting they are not!

I ordered these after hoping some of the negative reviews were just minor but no they are right. I ordered black expecting the scrunch at the back which is the main point of these and they don’t have it, they have not even the name of the brand on the back like the photos. I thought maybe these would be an affordable amplify dupe like they are talked about to be but no I still wouldn’t order amplify cause the price but go with another reputable brand that you’ve used. All these random fitness athleisure brands starting up are just literally all ordering from the same supplier and slapping their brand on it but these didn’t even do that.They are literally plain seamless shorts that I would wear under a dress. The compression is ok at the stomach but the back above where the scrunch should be is completely transparent. These are so not worth the price or the hype. I even contacted the brand on tiktoc to have more accountability for their Amazon partnership because clearly these were taken out of the warehouse without even being looked at and sent to me.I did contact the seller so I will update with what happens. But do not buy these even for a budget or to have an amplify dupe because these are not it. Maybe if you order from the actual brands website which is still meh you might get lucky and get the proper shorts but do not buy from the Amazon supplier because they are shipped from China and I can literally buy the same thing for 8 bucks from shein. I’m just disappointed because I waited a month and the wrong ones show up at my door, and no it wasn’t an error on my part for selection they legit sent the wrong ones.DO NOT BUY you have been warned lol

The media could not be loaded.  Girl just get it!This shorts are by far the best shorts I’ve ever bought. I usually wear xs in shorts and I went for it. It hugs me perfectly at the waist and give me the bum I don’t have . It’s not see through at all! I wore it to the gym and felt like THAT GIRL. I’m on my way to get more colours . 1000/100 recommend these

Love these shorts, very stretchy and squat proof. Fit a little bigger then expected and extremely high waisted but I just fold the top down a little. Can’t decide if I should size down for the next pair I get.

I am obsessed!! I was hesitant because the reviews are 50/50. The material is soft, they are squat proof (the black ones at least), and they make your butt look super good. I ordered a Large which is my usual bottoms size and they fit perfectly! They definitely hug your waist (compressed) so i would recommend going with your true size. The butt scrunch is in the perfect spot. The length is a little long but if you just roll them up a bit, they’re perfect. I got the black and i can’t wait to buy the other colours!!Update: i bought the Sun Dried Tomato colour pair in a size Large and i’m obsessed with the colour! They are so flattering and hug your body nicely. After reading horrible reviews about Alphalete, i’m so glad i found Aurola

I ordered based on the size chart and recommendations, and they fit and are flattering if all you're doing is standing. I ordered a dark colour and found they are definitely not squat proof. I might try sizing up to see if that helps, but I think they won't fit as well. Overall these shorts seem well made and the feel is great, they are comfortable and lovely colours, but I had to return mine.
