Where have those shorts been all my life? All I can say is WOW – what a difference that little layer of smooth makes in the comfort of your run.

The super thin, moisture wicking shorts eliminated all bunching of my regular shorts and I had no chafing either. This made for a much more comfortable run! I also like the extra bit of modesty the compression shorts provide – especially for days where I run while my kids are at swim practice and then have to wait 30 minutes or so for them to finish up.

I bought the Under Armour compression shorts in an XL and they are cut very generously. I think I could probably get away with the Large if I really wanted to. They don’t have a draw string, and the seams that run down the front are not noticeable when you are wearing them at all.

Below are more women’s compression (often referred to as bike shorts, too) shorts I have found in a variety of lengths and sizes including XL, 1X, 2X, 3X,4X, 5X and even 6X. Click on image for where to buy and availability.

I absolutely love the new dual layer shorts by Junonia, specifically for mixing it up playing softball, kickball with the kids or even taking walks.

The inner short is compression and does not ride. Then you add the fashion friendly, modesty loving outer short that doesn’t ride either and you have a winning combination. With shorts and tops in sizes XL, IX, 2X, 3X, 4X, 5x, and even 6X, Junonia has got you covered! You can look good playing softball – or any sport you love – and get a great fit, too!

More pieces that are perfect for softball games and beyond… from Junonia Activewear for Women Size 14 & Up.

Two women founded the company in 1977 after getting sick of trying to run in men”s shorts that were just uncomfortable. Thirty years later their line of athletic wear for women of all sizes covers running gear, fitness wear, yoga and lifestyle fashions as well as sports bras up to an E cup.

Something about those three-stripes that go from the gym to real life with the greatest of ease! Until recently it was near impossible to find plus size athletic apparel from Adidas. Now I have seen Adidas Plus Size clothing at Zappos (love them because they offer free shipping on purchases and returns), 6pm.com and Dick’s Sporting Goods. The plus size line consists of some jackets, short sleeve and long sleeve tops, shorts, capris in many styles, long pants and sports bras. Perfect for yoga class, walking, going to the gym and just about any activity really!
