Absolutely LOVE these shorts - bought them for pole dancing and they provide complete coverage in the booty (no butt cheeks hanging out) and the crotch, unlike a similar pair I bought at a dance store.  These are important qualities to me for teaching pole dancing, as I need short shorts to allow thighs to stick to the pole, but also want to look classy, not trashy!  I am 5'3" and weight 120lbs. and the medium fit perfectly.  No shrinkage in the wash, no pilling.  Love these!
