spanx active?

Anonymous
I'm having a hard time finding compression shorts I like. I want them to be longer than 7 inches, which seems to be the standard everywhere I look. I found these http://www.zappos.com/spanx-active-shaping-compression-short-black
which get rave reviews on zappos.

but Spanx?!?!? I need to be able to do some serious running in them (marathons--trying for a Boston Qualifying time). I noticed one of the other reviewers on zappos also said she was skeptical because they were Spanx, but ended up really liking them.

What does DCUM think?

Those are only 7". What about these http://www.zappos.com/pearl-izumi-w-quest-short-black-black?zlfid=191&ref=pd_sims_v_1 I don't have them but they are a bit loner and seem more like shorts that undershorts to me.

BTW I love spanx. I am wearing tight end tights now. I love the gusset b/c I hate having to pull down tights to pee.

I've never worn the Spanx compression shorts, but I did buy one of their sports bras on a whim from zulily. I wish I bought more because it is the most comfortable and supportive sports bra I've ever had (even better than the Moving Comfort ones I used to love so much). If their other active wear is anything like their sports bras, I'd buy them.

I like athleta compression shorts. I live to run in the presto. I have the short ones... But wear the Bermuda length for long runs and half marathons to avoid chafing. They also have a high waist to hold in my post twin belly. Although I'm curious about those spanx now...

i prefer compression capris, as I like the compression for my calves as well. I really like all my under armour compression pants.

If you wanted to go really high end, there is always the CW-X pants. Pricey.
