      I really like my regular patagonia panties, but these were not good for my body type. I am 5'7", and 135 lbs, a size 6/8. I am not able to wear them at all, they are too uncomfortabe, as they ride up right away.

      Comments about Patagonia Active Boy Shorts - Women's:

      These feel amazing - until I put on my pants. Then the legs roll up and feel bulky under my clothes. I've even tried wearing my most baggy pants and they still roll up. I'm not sure if it's just the friction or what. Similar to other reviewers, if you have stick straight legs, you may enjoy them. I have a very slim friend who loved them. She also wears skirts a lot of the time so maybe that's why. If you can, go try these on. You want to be able to wear them all the time when you spend so much on underwear!

      Comments about Patagonia Active Boy Shorts - Women's:

      I love patagonia underwear but these were extremely uncomfortable because I have a pretty womanly shape (as in big hips and meaty thighs) and where the tops of my thighs rub together, the boy shorts ride up and bunch up by the crotch. Not a good feeling. They do not stay in place well like other boy shorts undies I have. I wouldn't recommend these unless you're built like a 12 year old boy with legs that go straight down from your pelvis without touching eachother.

      • Feels too big

        These are SO comfy and look cute, but the legs ride up! It only bothers me because it makes them feel bulky under my pants. I love just lounging around the house in them though.

        Comments about Patagonia Active Boy Shorts - Women's:

        I really love these. They do not ride up on me, but from what I have heard, they are capable of creeping. They are incredibly light weight and are really easy to hard wash. This is the only pair of underwear I take when I am hiking, no matter how long I am out for.

          I own a few pairs and have had them for years. They are still in perfect shape except for the Padagonia logo that's coming off, which is normal for a screen print. If you love boy shorts, you will love these, they are so comfortable. I haven't gotten a single wedgie with these at all! They wash great, I usually line dry them, but I'm sure they would do great in the dryer as well.

            I am slim... but not skinny. I am 5'6 and about 130-135 lbs. I love these panties. They are my favorites. I own two pairs. My hubby thinks they are very flattering and I LOVE the way they feel. They are seamless, stretch. They don't ride up when I'm out hiking. They aren't hot... they breath. I don't wear them with my super tight pants... but then.. I don't hike in super tight pants either. I highly recommend them! You'll hate cotton after these!

                I tried these on in the store, and I cannot imagine anyone enjoying them if they have any butt whatosever. The back side is cut precisely the same as the front side, so there is ZERO extra room in the rear. I am by no means a "big" person (4'11" and 110 pounds) and it doesn't remotely cover the cheeks either from the top or the bottom. Instant wedgie!

                  I have the hipster version of these underwear and they are my favorite. I tried these and the legs roll up on the outside even when I just wear them under a skirt or to bed. I am 5'10'' 145 lbs, so I'm not a stick figure, but not large either. I have other boy short underwear that I LOVE, but these are a no go for me.
