Review on Stay Comfortable & Stylish In Maui Women'S Plus Size Swim Board Shorts by Etai Gopala

No matter what your size, if you prefer shorts, these are great! Shorts are for everyone! YEAH! LOVE THESE SWIM SHORTS! And love this company for offering shorts for all sizes!These shorts are everything I wanted and expected from swimwear and more really! I do not normally purchase clothing that is not fulfilled by ebay but I took a chance with this company and am soooo glad! These shorts are exactly the fit and feel I have been trying to find. They flex when I move but do not stretch out even after full day of wear. They are thin but not flimsy or see through. The waist has elastic on the back half and a velcro closure with modesty panel in front at opening as well as the traditional trunks string tie. The elastic is wide band so it doesn't dig in and also keeps the shorts in place when bending and sitting. There is one pocket at good location on side of right leg. When seated, items in pocket do not dig into hip. I think if you are lying on board, the pocket is far enough to the right to keep a key from digging in as well. The velcro on pocket is strong enough to keep it closed but easy to access pocket with good tug away from leg. Sewn inside top of pocket is elastic cording loop that is nice length to loop through key and keep in pocket but can be stretched enough to unlock locker/door at waist height without removing. The reinforced drain hole in pocket keeps it from filling up with water/sand .I am 5'7" and the shorts are just above my knee. When sitting they move up about 3" and are not constricting nor gaping. When I stand again, the legs always drop back into position and DO NOT do the infamous inner thigh ride-up when I am walking. Because they fit so well, I feel comfortable and confident when wearing these! I am not distracted and self-conscious worrying about shorts.In hot, humid summer, I started wearing as everyday shorts as well since they are much cooler and more flexible than any other shorts I own. The only down side is the fabric is not the quietest when walking. Its like the windbreaker material rustling sound but I find that I don't notice it most of the time. And even with that, I still feel like they deserve 5 stars. So now I am ordering three more!UPDATE: I have received 3 more colors (pink not available in my size) and all fit relatively the same. I would say that the light blue color is the most see through so it will probably wear out soonest with sun, water, and wear. I personally prefer unlined board shorts. If I am wearing any as swim trunks, I wear a swim suit or bikini bottom with them. The larger sizes are available but with limited colors(total=5 solids). I hope they will consider adding all of the colors and patterns that are available to sizes 0-18. If they were available, I would buy more.
