The vital shorts are my absolute fav! They give a good amount of compression. I am 5'8'' and 137lbs. I am a small-med. So ordered the med. Perfect fit! Accentuated my booty great without CT issues up front. Squat proof! They stay in place! I have tried buff bunny, alphalet, nvgt, ans2bfit, you name it. Ive tried them. These are my faves! Need these in leggings...
