When I started PHNX, my goal was to create clothes that could move + grow with a woman in any season of life. At the time, most of my friends were having kids and I saw how frustrating it was to find clothes that could work before, during, and after pregnancy. I designed these shorts with a super stretchy waistband, a high slit, and a spandex interior to try to meet all the needs of runners and moms everywhere.

What I found was that most of our customers were not pregnant and had no plans of being pregnant. Still, those who were loved how comfortable the shorts were during pregnancy and postpartum. I had the privilege of being able to test this for myself the past year after I had my first child. By the end of my pregnancy, my PHNX shorts were the only shorts that fit from pre-pregnancy!

The high waistband on the shorts kept them from folding over or digging in to my ever-growing belly. The spandex material was soft enough that it didn’t aggravate my sensitive skin.

The spandex interior shorts kept me from worrying if my shorts were riding up. The high slit gave me full range of motion as I attempted to stay active during pregnancy.

I knew I loved the shorts before, but I gained a whole new appreciation for these shorts during my own pregnancy.

As I said, many of our customers are not pregnant and they still love these shorts. I think that’s what I love so much - the shorts are like the sisterhood of the traveling pants - they work great on every body! Now all I need is Blake Lively to try them out ;)
