Sizing is Off
I purchased because I have POTS and hypermobility, and my PT recommended trying compression shorts. I haven’t worn them properly yet, but I like the weight, matte fabric, length and pockets. I hope to wear these under skirts and dresses in summer. The sizing is problematic because it relies on height and weight, à la BMI. Maybe no one for the memo that BMI is faulty. Despite this, I followed the size chart because of the positive reviews, and as I suspected, the size was at least one, if not two sizes too big. I exchanged once and am worried if I go down in side again (despite the waistband constantly sinking, requiring me to yank my shorts back up), it’ll her too snug. Please consider modernizing and providing measurements instead of estimating size based on height and weight.

Hey Emmo,
Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback on our Form Stash Hi-Rise 6" Bike Shorts with Pockets.
We're pleased to hear you like the weight, matte fabric, length, and pockets of the shorts. We understand you're planning to wear these under skirts and dresses in summer to help manage your POTS and hypermobility - that's a great way to utilize compression wear.
However, we're sorry to hear about your sizing challenges. Your feedback about our sizing guide relying on height and weight measurements is valuable, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We have shared your comments with our product team for review as we continuously work to improve our sizing recommendations.
Our compression garments are designed to provide a specific level of graduated compression, which can make sizing a bit different from regular athletic wear. The fit should be snug but not uncomfortable, and you shouldn't need to regularly adjust the waistband.
Warm regards,
