Running shorts recommendations

[alexithymia]

Do you guys have any recommendations for running shorts that don't ride up on your legs? I have kind of thunder thighs, and pretty much every pair of shorts I've tried to run in ride up into my crotch. I've just been running in capris, and since the summer weather seems to have forgotten to show up, its been cool enough for that. But I'm hoping to find some comfortable running shorts before it starts getting hot.

TIA.

I like lll speed short as they are shorter so less ride up or shorter nike shorts similar to lll
I prefer shorter shorts so less material to ride up my leg as my legs carry all my weight

A lot of people will tell you LLL, but I LOVE my new Road Runner Sports 5"inseam 5 pocket shorts!

The only real solution for me is compression shorts. I like Nike Pro 5" because they are long enough to cover the thigh rub zone.

I also like these Nikes - they have a compression layer under a looser short for a little more coverage:

I can't stand having any part of my legs rub together even with Body Glide, so I need to find shorts that don't ride up. I'll be honest...I still haven't found anything I completely am in love with. I've wasted a lot of money on shorts that don't work

I don't have any issues with my Trek or Old Navy shorts.

I like old navy running shorts or compressions shorts.

This exactly.

Thanks! Throw me in the category of 'I hate any part of my thighs to rub together' as well.I bought a pair of ccompression shorts to wear under the pair of shorter running shorts, so i hope that will feel better. I'm going to try it out tonight and see how it works out.

Another vote for the Old Navy shorts.

I just wanted to chime in and say I purchased a pair of Old Navy shorts this weekend, ran in them once, and I absolutely hate them.

[lucky3]

I didn't like the Old Navy shorts either, but love GapFit!

I still haven't found anything I like as much as knee length capris. I can wear whatever up to 4-5 miles, but after that, I need my crops to avoid chafing.

I am obsessed with these: www.brooksrunning.com/Glycerin-Short/220262,default,pd.html
They have built in compression shorts. Never spending $$$ on lulu again!

Those look very intriguing. I was about to get a skirt so I could wear compression shorts but these! These could just be what I've been looking for.

I ordered them! I got sucked in by RRS's VIP thing and ordered other stuff too

These look amazing!! I think I might try them out. Thanks for the rec!

I picked up a few pair of Old Navy running shorts when they were $5 this weekend and they are okay. My favorite thing to run in is my pacesetter skirt from lulu, that thing doesn't budge.

I wanted to bump this thread to say THANK YOU to tuggyruns for the RRS 5" rec. 

I love them and will be ordering more. So for those of you who want a looser short but need the longer length, this one might be perfect for you. 

For reference, I typically wear a size 8 and I ordered the medium.

I loved these when I  needed the compression shorts.  

eta: Wow, tara, maybe pay attention to the dates of posts.  

[AAM2012]

Just another suggestion, even though my shorts don't ride up (I wear nike shorts) I still rub some body glide on my thighs to prevent rubbing.

One more thank you!  Mine just came today and they seem great.  I'm going to take them for a run tomorrow.

I just bought a pair of these and wore them over the weekend. They were pretty good. The bottom layer didn't stay perfectly in place the entire time, but I was on the borderline of two sizes and I sized up, so they probably weren't as tight as they should be.
