So if you don’t already know… scrunch bum shorts are all the rave. Here’s my thorough review of the Aurola Seamless Intensify 4.5” shorts !
Colour: Wine tasting. A cool tone purple
💸Cost: I bought it $35 on sale (which they have often) but it’s currently going for $43.31 on their site
What I Like:
✔️ Very stretchy material!
- It hugs my body perfectly
- I can even manipulate the length of the shorts (you could even make it a 6” length short)
✔️ Scrunch bum really works wonders
- Very subtle and can’t really be seen when worn
- Gives ultimate cheek separation
- Super high on the booty scale.
✔️ Subtle and flattering contouring
- Has an M-shaped contour line at the back to emphasise each glute
✔️ Diamond gusset and no front seam
- Ensures no camel toe
✔️ Shorts don’t roll up a lot during the workout. The waist band didn’t roll down either. Pretty much stays in place!
✔️ 3 panel waistband
- more compressive top part to snatch that waist
✔️ Knitted in brand logo so it won’t peel off
✔️ Squat proof cus of it’s dark colour!
What I don’t like:
❌ The material
- Yes it’s stretchy but bc of that the material ends up very thin and shows the outline of your underwear. Really need to wear a thong or go commando 😩
- The material also feels a little rough/scratchy. That makes it not ideal for leg day (which I got the shorts for in the first place!) It gets a little uncomfy and makes my movements feel a little restricted or like I’m scratching the shorts as I move.
- This might be just bc of this heather material as compared to one with a solid colour which I have yet to try.
Overall rating: 8/10
I love how it makes my bum look but not so much how it feels 😣 it’s #NotForMe in that aspect. I would still reach for these shorts but maybe not on a leg day 😢 Would I say it’s worth it? For what it does, yes, but for functionality, not really!
If you’re like me and material is a huge concern for you, here are some alternative scrunch bum shorts you can try:
✨ Crop Shop Boutique Scrunch Bum Shorts
- lots of colours n short lengths
- buttery smooth 4 way stretch fabric
- but more expensive
- scrunch bum is more obvious
- multiple colours and shorts lengths
- smoother fabric than the Aurola shorts
- way pricier (get on sale instead!)
- I’ve done a full breakdown of the Alphalete shorts here!
