Review: Ultimate mom shorts - These are my all-time, absolute favorite shorts! I have been complimented and asked where they are from more times than I can count and they are the ultimate mom shorts. I ordered a pair last summer and fell totally in love that I order these whenever they go on sale. I have light and dark wash shorts and they are my go-to shorts. I love the quality and even after TONS of use they hold up incredibly (they are Levi’s after all). The range of colors is so cute and there is truly a color or wash for everyone. The fit is great, make sure to double check your measurements correctly as these are high wasted and you want them to fit properly. I haven’t noticed any shrinkage or damage to them after washing and they still fit as great as the first time. Since these are higher waisted they do come with multiple buttons to make sure the shorts stay closed. My only minor complaint is that sometimes them middle buttons slip out but that’s probably more from excessive wear than anything. Overall, you NEED these shorts. They are so comfy, have great pockets to hold a phone or whatever else you need, and I guarantee these will get you loads of compliments. Love these and recommend to anyone!

### ⭐⭐⭐ Not For Apples. IYKYK
*by N***E on April 9, 2026*

I gave these three stars because although they seemed authentic and of good quality, the sizing if horrible. I have several items from Levi's brand and these were unusually small in the waist. I am 5'6" roughly 198lbs., carry my weight in the middle section (apple shape), and fluctuate between a size 14 and 16. I wasn't sure about what size to get because of the various reviews so I decided to order a 33 and a 34. I was about two inches short of being able to button the size 34s. To get a size bigger would be out of the question because then they'd be too big in the hips and thighs. Too bad because they seemed like the perfect shorts, not to short or long. Maybe they are just more suited for a slender or pear shaped person.
