7 Best Lululemon Shorts For Thick Thighs That Won't Ride Up

After doing some research on TikTok, I came across a review from a woman who said these shorts are "thick thigh approved." She’s 5'8", 160 lbs, and typically wears a size 8/10. She found the 5-inch version of these Lululemon Track Shorts to be perfect for her. She mentioned that they don’t ride up and sit comfortably at the mid-waist. Her tip? Size up for a little extra room in the leg area.

If you're torn between the Align Biker Shorts and the Wunder Under Biker Shorts, go for the Aligns. They offer more stretch in the legs, so they won’t cut off circulation and will hug your curvy figure much more comfortably. Plus, they're incredibly soft, won’t ride up, and are super comfortable for all-day wear.

One buyer said, "They are super pretty and comfortable! I went and purchased more! They don’t ride up throughout the day and moves with your body!"

I came across this recommendation on TikTok from a runner with larger thighs, and she swore by the Hotty Hot High-Rise Lined Shorts. She said they had just the right amount of room in the legs while still hugging her hips perfectly. They also come in a ton of colors and a wide range of sizes, making them a solid option for women with bigger thighs.

One verified buyer said, "I officially have these shorts in every color. Why? Because they are the best shorts Lululemon has to offer and I’ve tried them all. These are comfortable in every way. I’m also convinced that no matter what size thighs you have, the inseam of these shorts are so legit they create a thigh gap. Even on my most bloated of days."

The Scuba Shorts have been a Lululemon best-seller for years, and for good reason. They're perfect for lounging or running errands on a warm day, with a 5-inch length that provides just the right amount of coverage without looking frumpy. Plus, I love how easily they transition from winter to summer.

One verified buyer said, "I absolutely loooove these shorts. I was on the fence, then I saw the reviews decided to try them. I’m so happy did!!! They fit like a glove, thick but not too hot, perfect length, perfect shorts, perfect waist band, 10/10. The Sakura Pink is adorable. Get them!"

These 6-inch shorts are a must-have staple—perfect for the gym, a coffee run, or a casual day out. The length is great for larger thighs, providing good coverage without riding up, while the body-contouring fit keeps them flattering and comfortable. There is also an adjustable waistband.

These relaxed fit high rise shorts have a lot of space in the thigh area plus a lot of stretch in the waistband. They won’t dig in or feel too tight, making them a great option if you want comfort without sacrificing a flattering fit. The extra stretch in the waistband helps prevent any squeezing, so they sit smoothly on the body. Whether you're lounging or on the move, these shorts stay put and move with you.

If you don't go with the Align biker shorts, these Wunder Under 6 inch biker shorts would be my second pick. They offer a compressive fit that stays in place without rolling up, making them a great option for both workouts and everyday wear. The fabric is smoothing and supportive, but not overly thick or restrictive. If you prefer something softer with more stretch, the Aligns are still the better choice, but if you want a bit more hold, the Wunder Unders are a solid alternative.
