I bought these because the leg part of some biker shorts are too long. These cartwheel shorts have shorter leg parts. I use it a lot when my girls are in tumbling class or I want them to have shorts under their dresses. It covers the parts I want covered but is also discreet. They have held up very well after many washes and the stretch is just right. Stretchy but keeps their shape and doesn’t wear down. It’s also very lightweight.
