Over 56,000 Amazon shoppers agree: These bike shorts — on sale for $19 — 'fit like a dream'
Is your New Year's resolution to exercise more (ours is!)? Then it's probably time to grab some workout clothes that feel good and don't cost a fortune. After all, who wants to shell out the big bucks for clothes you're going to wear to sweat? Then take a cue from Amazon shoppers who flock to the affordable and durable Baleaf bike shorts. They offer everything you could ever want in a pair of bike shorts, including the right amount of compression. They normally cost a low price of $26 but they're on sale right now starting at $19.
The soft fabric prevents chafing. The high waist provides a bit of tummy control. And with snug side pockets deep enough to hold a phone (or even a wallet!), the Baleaf bike shorts are as practical as they are comfy. They come in a huge range of colors, so you can snap up a pair to match each of your shorter dresses (there's nothing like the security of a hidden pair of bike shorts, especially on a windy day). Prefer shorter shorts? There are five different lengths available and the sizes range from XS to 3X.
"I bought these shorts not for exercising, but actually for the sole purpose to wear under dresses to help keep the dreaded chub rub at bay. To that end, they did their job!" raved one thrilled shopper. "The shorts are soft and very stretchy, and as an added bonus they helped keep my belly under wraps as well as protect my thick thighs from chafing under the dress. You can’t tell I was wearing anything underneath."
One new mom raved: "I’m actually 6 weeks postpartum and need some comfy clothes I can start to move around in more. These are fantastic. I can do my light workouts, they don’t roll down and I love the compression they have. Oh, and my husband says he plans on getting me them in every color, so he loves them too. Definitely worth it."
"These are hands down the best workout bike shorts I’ve ever owned," said one faithful customer who owns four pairs. "They fit like a dream, the buttery soft brush makes them feel exactly like Lulu biker shorts, and they are compression fit. They don’t ride up at all and stay put. Plus the pockets are a perfect bonus. I was so shocked I was able to find literal Lulu quality shorts for this price. I’m so picky with workout wear and these exceeded every expectation I had! Definitely buy!"
