Adidas plus size review: 3 stripe high waisted bike shorts

I have shorts, tops, and jackets from the Adidas plus size section. Anytime a Beyonce collection drops, I'm always hopeful to catch just one piece 🙏..and am still empty handed.😭

For reference I'm a Torrid size 1 or 2, and for tops in Adidas I wear a 2x. I have purchased a 1x and while it does fit, it's a snug fit. More for when I'm not as bloated or have been working out more and down a few pounds. 

I can wear 1x or 2x in their shorts. 2x is for when I want some breathing room or if it's that time of the month. Though these do make a swishing sound when your thighs rub together, the band does not roll down and have comfortable compression to hold your stomach. Also is a slick feel material. My top tip for these shorts is to not wear them if you haven't shaved in a few days. The fabric tends to pull on your hair.

ahh I want the shorter version, these might actually fit better for shorter women. Here's some more with out the stripes in stock.

I try to stay away from shorts like these that are not leggings..I'm afraid they would cause chub rub. There's 3 pair of similar Torrid shorts sitting in my closet because my legs rub anytime I wear them. One day I'll give Adidas a try and maybe they'll have a better fit? This design has an elastic waist vs a tie AND an elastic waist, which to me is redundant. It's either or, so maybe Adidas has the right idea with just elastic on the waist. 🤷

They also have these cotton bike shorts perfect for lounging..
