The shorts I received were not the color I ordered. Those shown had a red stripe along with turquoise stripes, and they have neither a red nor a turquoise stripe. They are black and grey.

They are very hard stuff. I'm also not sure why I leave reviews, nobody ever answers them! When I order I expect to

Hooray, practical and functional swimsuit! The drawstring works and really keeps the suit in place! I don't know why companies make fake drawstring briefs (not everyone has the same waist size!). I have a 5 year old who is slim and active and needs shorts to stay in place. He wore this suit to swimming lessons today and didn't want to take it off for the rest of the day (and never once complained about my tightening or re-tying the laces). I just added 2 more of the same brand to my cart. BRAVO
