Low Rise Shorts - Great but Loose at waist
Great little pair of shorts. Love the low rise and 2.5” inseam. Unfortunately they run large for where they sit on my waist. 19.5” across the middle of the waistband unstretched. I used the internal drawcord to tighten it up but worried they will fall off me during a bootcamp class. 🤪

Make these come back!!! Updated is TERRIBLE
Why would you touch your most popular piece?? I’ve been loyal to speed up and the new version is just no good. Please read these positive comments of this version and how the new version’s comments differ. Reviews don’t lie. Now your loyal customers are getting raggedy old and bad condition from resellers and it’s sad. Why would you change something that was never broken and so loved?! Why would you take away low rises. The new design just isn’t as flattering, letter sizing is so off.

BRING BACK SPEED UP LOWRISE 2.5” IN NUMERIAL SIZE
What would Lululemon touch their most popular item. 1/ The low rise is GONE. 2/ Numeral sizes just doesn’t fit in a size 8 true to size and the small was too small and medium was too big. 3/ The new design with mesh just isn’t as iconic as the original flap and resembles the Hotty Hot mesh. The reason it’s so iconic is they differ. Please consider everyone’s feedback of the redesign and bring back our original low rise 2.5” in numeral sizes and flap design. PLEASE!

Super cute!
These shorts are super cute and comfortable. First of all low rise shorts and leggings are the best. Hint hint Lululemon!! Usually I avoid clothing with liners but these shorts are an exception =] The liner is great because it keeps my butt in place without me having to adjust it every time I move. Ok so out of all the Lululemon shorts currently for sale the speed up low rise lined 2.5” short is my favorite.

Sounds like the Speed Up Low-Rise Lined Short 2.5" is racing to the top of your favourites list—we're glad the low-rise fit and liner won you over and helped earn first place in your rotation.
