I've had these shorts for a while now and always managed to wear them comfortably. But I clearly have packed on some pounds because they are so tight now! I literally had problems breathing in them and zipping them up was a challenge. My bugling belly popping through the zipper hole and the top button barely holding on! They look skin tight and definitely feel it too. especially when my top belly spills out over the waistband. Come check out the struggle in these shorts ;)
