A couple weeks ago I saw an ad on Facebook for a company called Happy Puppies Athletic Wear. I love puppies. And I love happiness. And I love athletic wear. So of course I clicked.
Imagine my delight when I realized that not only was this a cool workout clothing site – but that they specialize in RUNNING gear, in tons of fun colors, AND go up to size 30. Jackpot!
I was even more impressed as I poked around the site and discovered Laura and her son Josh. Needless to say, they won my heart and I immediately wanted all the tights in all the colors.
So last week I tried out the Bermuda shorts in Fuchsia. Laura was kind enough to send me two sizes to try – the one I ordered, plus one size down. Apparently she’s psychic because the size I ordered was definitely too big.
***Side note – the sizing is actually done without numbers, which I lovelovelove.***
I ran in these tights twice, walked in them once, put them through the washer and the dryer (although I normally don’t put my workout gear in the dryer I thought I should give them the full test). They held up beautifully!


The color is lovely – a deep, rich pink – and the fabric is super-soft. There are pockets on both legs – BOTH! – and they’re big enough to hold an iPhone 6 plus. But here’s the best part – the waist sits much higher than most tights, which makes them perfect to keep things ‘in place’ around your waist, if you know what I mean. And they didn’t slip down, ride up, or otherwise move out of place. Perfection.
The material is 88% Supplex /12% Spandex. A snug but stretchy fit, with very light compression. Just comfy and soft.
Because I was so excited to get them and try them out, I completely forgot to take a picture before I wore them – but here they are fresh out of the dryer looking brand-spanking new.



Also – and this might be TMI but I know you’ll appreciate it – I ran sans-BodyGlide in these shorts. And there was no chafing, anywhere. None. Nada.
These tights were perfect for me, but there are lots of other lengths – from the Mandy, with a 7″ inseam, to full length leggings. And there are matching tops and running skirts too!

Thank you so much for the review and pictures. I haven’t ordered from Happy Puppies yet but your review has convinced me to give them a try. The biggest problem now will be trying to decide what to order! So many choices!
