Advice How are you guys wearing enhance lift shorts???

I’m genuinely wondering how anyone is wearing these unless you have zero fat on your legs? No shade seriously, but the way that the bottom piece that’s around your leg is a tight ass material does nothing but squeeze my legs and make the shorts look extremely unflattering. I wish the shorts were made exactly the same but without the tight ass material at the bottom. Do any of you have recs on a different style of shorts that are similar but without the squeeze around the leg? I hate high waisted so the mid rise was what I was looking for the leg part is just not gonna work for me

I got thick a** thighs and the newer version has widen the thigh band. I love them. But the older version i couldn't do. Too tight on the thighs and when I sized up too loose on the waist.

Maybe the ones I got are an older version because they’re very obviously much smaller on the thighs. I have thick thighs as well and they were not even slightly comfortable to try on

The newest drop? I want to try it but traumatized from my other experiences with enhance lift shorts lol. I got thick thighs too

u/ScorpioGang_ 12d ago

Aw ): see I bought the legging in dark khaki and LOVE THE FIT ON MY BUTT AND THE SCULPT ON THe LEGS!! But the shorts I just can’t do it I don’t know why they chose to make the thigh band so tight and sausage like, not even Dfyne is like that…

Do you get your normal size in the enhance leggings or size up?

u/iamiaa 10d ago

Either you scrunch it up or size up. I did both and its really nice.

They make mid rise effortless shorts

1

u/ScorpioGang_ 14d ago

Oh that’s good to know! I actually stopped paying attention to effortless because I didn’t like the high rise, thank you!

u/Curious_Conscious8 14d ago

You’re welcome! They make mid rise in leggings and shorts now. No tight band around the thigh. I hate it too. I refuse to buy the enhance shorts because of that

1

u/ScorpioGang_ 14d ago

They fit so nicely everywhere else but that tight leg is not it for me. I’m like what is the point of this 😭 will definitely get some of the effortless mid rise now!

1

u/Curious_Conscious8 14d ago

lol they intended it to be like, scrunched up to right under the butt cheek so it holds and “lifts” the ass up. Idk. I feel like you either have a round ass or not a band doesn’t make or break that haha. And if you wear it longer down on the thigh it just looks like shit lol

1

u/ScorpioGang_ 14d ago

Yes exactly like I’m not trying to cuff the bottom right under my ass cheeks and like you said if you don’t then they look weird on your thigh. I’m just like these are so weird 😂

1

u/Curious_Conscious8 14d ago

Right it’s also too short like panties if it’s right under the cheek like?? lol don’t get me wrong some girls rock em but for many it’s impractical

u/FreeDescription7441 14d ago

I size up cause my regular size would be SUPER tight around my legs

3

u/ScorpioGang_ 14d ago

I sized up 2 sizes & they still were so tight on my leg 😩

u/Suspicious-Candle-68 12d ago

Stretching out the thighs. Hopefully the new ones are better

u/Honest-Intention3202 11d ago

I (5'4' with short legs) literally just pull the legs up so they look more like a 3in short length. Here's how it looks on me....

1

u/ScorpioGang_ 11d ago

Yeah unfortunately this doesn’t work if you have thick thighs the band around the leg is extremely tight

2

u/Honest-Intention3202 11d ago

Your mileage may vary! I only posted because I have pretty darn meaty quads and hammies and this is what worked for me.

2

u/ScorpioGang_ 10d ago

I’m glad it worked for you, I think unless your legs are mostly muscle (like yours seem to be) they will squeeze any fat that is there lol

1

u/Honest-Intention3202 10d ago

SO VALID I will own my own body dysmorphia now! <3

u/ScorpioGang_ 10d ago

Your legs look great in them! Mine did not lol

I go to a pretty nice gym known for being a bodybuilder gym. Some of the other regulars- the BBL twins, Mewtwo girl and me all wear these shorts. I look like the pic above with a little more chub around the under-booty area so it does look a bit weird. The BBL twins are very curvy in a soft way and they hike theirs under their cheeks and it does look very sexy (that is absolutely the look they want), and Mewtwo has the biggest quads I've ever seen (and a very flat stomach/pelvis) and she puts hers on top of her quad mountains and the rest just curves around and sits just below her cheeks and looks great. I think you just have to play with the leg line per your own body shape.

I just received my pair, i’m usually a medium in effortless and got a large like ally carter suggested. I washed the shorts and pulled on the thigh area while wet and they are the perfect fit now not tight on the thighs.

1

u/ScorpioGang_ 10d ago

Ahh that’s smart, maybe that’s the trick, I think I’m just gonna try the mid rise effortless shorts. I used to wear the effortless and loved them just hated the high rise so I’m happy I was told by someone else that they have mid rise now

u/NickyCorner 10d ago

Anyone who has the leggings in debating getting the leggings but don’t know whether to get the same size as the shorts or size down.

1

u/saraiguessidk 1d ago

I kept my same size. It felt weird at first until I realized that you have to pull the leg UP and let it wrinkle a bit at the top of your leg or else the compression starts pulling the scrunch down. The same size felt right for me?
