CORE RUNNING SHORTS - EXTRA STOMACH SUPPORT
Why these aren't like anything else you've tried
1
The waistband that actually stays put
The thick high-rise waistband has an internal drawstring that keeps it exactly in place no matter how fast or far you go. No rolling, no slipping, no adjusting mid-run.
2
Built-in Bike Short for full coverage
A secure inner bike short means you can move freely and confidently without worrying about coverage during high-impact activity. Run, jump, sprint — you're covered.
3
Hidden zip pocket
Fits your phone and keys. Exercise with peace of mind — no armband, no bag, no stopping to check your pocket mid-run.
4
Fabric that keeps up with you
Moisture-wicking and quick-drying so sweat doesn't slow you down. Stays opaque even when wet — no transparency, no clinging.
5
Sizes 12–26, designed for every body in the range
Every size is pattern-graded specifically for curvy bodies — not scaled up from a size 10. The fit, coverage, and proportions are right across the entire range.

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.

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!!"

The best exercise shorts

"Comfortable, supportive with quality fabrics"

— Mandie R. (5/5)

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!"

— Steph (5/5)

— Pris S. (5/5)

Q&A

YOU MAY ALSO LOVE

FROM VICKI — FOUNDER OF VICTORIA STAG

I couldn't find activewear that fit. So I made it.

I've had a larger frame since childhood. I love sport, I love being active — but finding clothes that didn't make me feel self-conscious was almost impossible.

Victoria Stag exists because that shouldn't be anyone's experience.

Every design decision starts with one question: would I wear this?

These leggings are the most personal piece in the range. I designed them specifically because I needed them myself.
