So excited to finally find some running shorts that fit, are comfy and look great!
Best shorts I have bought, comfy fit well. I have bought another pair as a back up pair.
The tummy support is great - they actually stay where they need to during pilates.

Best shorts ever!

So excited to finally find some running shorts that fit, are comfy AF and look great! Love them! Highly impressed that they didn’t bunch up into my crotch and they have room for my tummy. Only thing that would make me love them more is a phone pocket in the bikeshorts lining. Need these is eleventy billion colours!!

Aww, thank you so much! We’re so happy you’ve finally found shorts you love!

Great quality

Great quality shorts, but too big for me so I gave them to my daughter and she loves them. Cant wait to get mine in a smaller size.

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! So happy to hear your daughter is loving the shorts! We hope you love yours as well.

Core Running Shorts

I love these shorts. So comfortable for walking and wearing them all day. Very happy. I really love Victoria Stag clothes. They fit great and are very comfortable.

Core Running Shorts

Had to return them as too big. They run on the large side. But such an easy process to return.

The best exercise shorts

Comfortable, supportive with quality fabrics

Shorts

I love these shorts. So cool and comfortable.
Allow me to wear shorts to pilates due to lining.
Dont ride up like other shorts I have.
Would love more colours.

Comfort is everything, and so happy you’re loving it :heart:️

Amazing shorts

These shorts are amazing. The fabric is luxurious and buttery soft. Sizing is spot on with the size chart. I am quite tall (5'10") and these come up to my belly button and don't fall down. I bought these for exercising but they're too good for that and I'm going to wear them all the time as casual wear!

Love this so much! Thank you, and so happy the fit and fabric worked for you!

Core running shorts

So glad to hear that! Thanks for your feedback.

Beautiful quality and was very

Beautiful quality and was very surprised how lovely these garments are. The sizing is perfect. Just loving my purchase.

So happy to hear this! Thank you so much :heart:️

Awesome shorts

Love these! I run a size L and they are excellent for the hot humid climate here. The tummy support is great - they actually stay where they need to during pilates. Have bought 5 pairs of these over the last couple of years. Absolutely brilliant.

Thank you! Love hearing that the fit works so well:heart_eyes:

The most comfortable gym shorts ever.

I was keen to try these two layer shorts as I thought they’d be way more flattering than regular gym shorts, and they are !
And so comfortable, after gym I usually change, but have left them on all day.

Appreciate your review, Kate! Love that you’re finding them flattering and comfy enough to wear all day.

The BEST running shorts

I am have a very long torso. Like, VERY. I have a lot of trouble finding shorts and pants that come up high enough to cover my belly which don't roll down, especially when I do things like stand up, walk, sit down. You know, NORMAL THINGS. I was dubious these would fit the bill but these are seriously the comfiest, most suitable well-fitting shorts I've ever tried. I can move! I can sit down and stand up without having to adjust them! They have pockets!
Delivery was quick. Sizing was appropriate - possibly I could have sized down but I erred on the side of caution and bought what I would wear at my biggest. Quality is amazing. Fit is on point. Buy these shorts! Now I need to save up for some more of this VS gear!

Wow, Liz! This made our day! We know the struggle of finding shorts that actually stay put, and we’re so happy these ticked all the boxes for you! Love that you can move comfortably and enjoy the pockets (because who doesn’t love pockets?!). Can’t wait for you to add more VS pieces to your collection! Thanks for your support!

Wearing these right now

When you get home from work and want something comfy… these are my go to…. When you play netball …. These are my go to…. I think I need another pair!

So glad you’re loving them, Fiona! Thanks for the awesome feedback.

Love these shorts

I have avoided wearing shorts for years but haven’t looked back since purchasing these Core Running Shorts. They are so comfortable and I don’t feel self conscious wearing them. Buying these is the best thing I have done in ages

Thanks for sharing, Cassandra! We're so glad you’re loving the shorts and feeling confident in them. Comfort and confidence is what it's all about!

So comfy. Need more!

Love these shorts, going to buy another pair for when these are in the wash. Comfy & great fit, feel confident & comfortable in these.

The best!

I absolutely love these! I’ve never seen anything like them. They don’t ride up because of the bike pants underneath, but they look like loose
Jogging shorts that I have never been able to wear! Magic shorts!

New favourites

Great shorts super comfortable and great for everyday wear!

We're honoured by your positive feedback on our activewear. Thank you Kristin!

So comfortable

A very comfortable short especially around the waist, the leggings underneath are a little loose because I have skinnier legs and larger waist. But overall very satisfied.

Delighted that you're loving our activewear. Thank you queen!

Best shorts for jiggly thighs

Iv spent hundreds on shorts of this style over the years. Nothing compares to this brand and the quality. Comfort and functional.

Thank you for being a loyal customer and for your kind words about our activewear.

Worth buying

These shorts are incredibly comfortable and sit very nicely against the body without too much bulk. I wear a belt powerlifting and normally steer clear of shorts like this as they bunch under the belt, but not with these. The sit high enough where I feel like I am supported. The pockets are a good size and can't be seen when not in use.

Your review is a wonderful reminder of why we do what we do. Heartfelt thanks!

Comfort plus

Love these shorts! They feel amazing.

Thrilled to have you as a fan of our activewear. Thank you!

Love them

Finally got myself a second pair. I am not a runner, but these shorts are the best ever. The comfort of bike shorts but with pockets!!

We're sending a big thank you for sharing your positive experience with our activewear.

Core Shorts

So comfy, perfect length, under short doesn’t ride and are perfect on my chunky thighs. I really have trouble finding shorts that are the right length and width that fits a mature body. Thank you Victoria Stag

We're so glad you're enjoying our activewear. Thank you for your support!

Common Questions

Everything you need to know

What are these shorts best for?

Running, HIIT and high-impact gym sessions. The built-in bike short stops the chafing.

Will the waistband roll down during a run?

No — the high-rise waistband with internal drawstring stays exactly in place no matter how fast or far you go.

Is there a built-in bike short under the outer layer?

Yes. A built-in bike short gives you full coverage and support during high-impact activity.

Are they see-through when stretched?

Not at all. The fabric stays completely opaque at every angle — we test every style before releasing it.

Do they run true to size?

Yes, true to size across sizes 12–26. Between sizes go up. Our size chart shows exact body measurements, not just dress sizes.

Are these shorts worth the money?

Yes. Every pair is designed and tested by curvy women, for curvy women. They're patterned for sizes 12–26 from the start, not scaled up from a size 10, and hold their shape wash after wash. Worn twice a week for two years, that works out to about 48¢ a wear.

What if they don't fit or I don't love them?

We're confident you'll love them. If the fit isn't right, return them unworn, unwashed and in their original packaging within 21 days of purchase for a full refund, not store credit. Final sale and discontinued items can't be returned unless faulty.
