SCRUNCH EXERCISE SHORTS ARE LIFE FOR MY GYM RAT LIFE!!! Extremely high waisted: meaning inches above the belly button, extra length to cover the thickness in the back!! Not going to lie it bunches like a MF’R when you’re squatting, constant readjustments, however, you’ll get used to it. I did. I have my days though. Also, the material is THICK enough to where you can have any color underpants on and NOTHING SHOWS!! Satisfaction is GUARANTEED WITH THESE BABIES!!! =)
