Okay, so I finally got these Valentina sweat shorts after seeing them all over Instagram. Here's my honest take!
First off, SIZE WARNING - they run SUPER small. I usually wear a medium but had to size up twice to get a decent fit. If you've got curves, definitely go 2-3 sizes up.
The material is... interesting. It's that classic neoprene feel - kinda stiff and makes that swishy noise when you walk. Not the most comfortable at first, but you get used to it.
Now for the SWEAT FACTOR - holy moly! I wore these for a 30-minute workout and looked like I jumped in a pool. They definitely trap heat and make you sweat buckets. Whether that actually helps with fat loss? Who knows, but I feel like I got an extra intense workout.
Fit is a bit weird - tight on my thighs but loose at the waist. They stay up during workouts though, which is what matters. Would be perfect if they had adjustable waistbands.
Overall? 7/10. They do what they promise (make you sweat), but could be more comfortable. Might repurchase if I can find them on sale!
