I Usually Love this brand

I have bought these shorts before and LOVED THEM. These pair fit oddly- very high waisted and proportions seemed off.Wanted to return them and since my printer is broken paid the $1 for a return label, but sadly the label never came. It's a month later and after the 30 day return so I guess I'm out of luck.I will say though that I would order again

Pros
  • Offers a comfortable fit for plus-sized women of all shapes and sizes
Cons
  • The shorts can be quite heavy when wet, making it difficult to move around.

SO comfy I didnt want to take them off!

I purchased these swim shorts for a trip to Mexico. They were super comfortable that I ended up wearing them even when I wasn't in the pool! They dry fast which was a plus once you're out of the water, and they wash up very nice. They also have held up very nicely and seem durable. I would not hesitate to buy these again!

Pros
  • Provides ample coverage for those who prefer not to bare all in a swimsuit
Cons
  • The shorts can be quite tight around the waist, making it uncomfortable for some women.

Great shorts - my new review

These shorts are amazing. They fit perfect and are long enough to hide imperfections. I was looking for something for Hawaii and I tried these out this weekend. They dry out quickly and look great on. Super comfy. I’m an 18 and I ordered the 2x which have plenty of room and I’m wondering if even a 1x would have fit. I’mKeeping these though.

Pros
  • I wear 20 or 22. Because of the stretch they are still a little snug, but fit.
Cons
  • The shorts shrink after the first wash.

Very nice but no lining

Great board shorts with a flattering fit for a curvy woman. Per the description and a few of the reviews they were supposed to have an inner short or lining for swimming and they do not. As long as you wear an undergarment, you’re fine.

Pros
  • True to size. Great length. I have no complaints on this product
Cons
  • Not suitable for swimming as the material is not water-resistant.

Good plus size board shorts

Really like the style, and super soft material. My only complaint is that they’re a bit long, wish you did a 7” plus size board short. I chose this style with elastic back and flat front as I have a large tummy and don’t like the back gap. Great product for price.

Pros
  • Suitable for a wide range of body types and sizes
Cons
  • The material can fade after the first wash, making it unappealing.

Sizing not consistent

Already own ebony, ordered navy and black. The black are sized much smaller than the navy and ebony which are very close in size.

Pros
  • Designed to stay in place, even during active pursuits
Cons
  • The shorts can dig into the skin, causing redness and irritation.

PERFECT! Finally a board short for larger girls.

Finally someone made some board shorts for pear shaped behinds! Fit perfectly and are actually flattering. I am a 16 and the 1X was spot on! I am 5'7 and 200 and 65 yrs, young. They are not too long (hate frumpy short looks) but long enough to cover the flab.

Pros
  • Provides ample coverage while still leaving room to move and breathe
Cons
  • The shorts can cause chafing around the waistline.

Great shorts: my feedback

I just lost alot of weight so judging size is hard right now for me. But I bought what size I figured I am now lol and I love these shorts they are stretchy and comfortable and they dry quickly.

Pros
  • Doesn't restrict movement or mobility, making it great for all kinds of activities
Cons
  • The shorts can cause an unflattering bulge around the waist.

These do not have a drawstring

I had to return these because the web discipline says they have a drawstring and the do not. I couldn’t wear them because the waist is too big and they fall off. I have the others that have a drawstring and they’re so great.

Pros
  • Breathable fabric keeps you cool and comfortable even in hot weather
Cons
  • The shorts can be quite unflattering on some body types.

Board swim shorts on my review.

Love the fact finally found these. Others have been unflattering and werid fit. This one is nice. Just a little snug in the upper thigh but stretch is there.

Pros
  • Perfect plus sized swim shorts for trip to Hawaii
Cons
  • Fabric can deteriorate quickly when exposed to saltwater.

Great board shorts in my review

These are longer than I expected, but great quality. They provide great leg coverage! Very happy with them. That's my feedback.

Pros
  • So comfortable, you'll forget you're even wearing them!
Cons
  • The shorts can be quite sheer, making it inappropriate for some settings.

Best shorts ever. for my opinion

If you are a little larger in the thigh area and would rather keep that covered up, these are the shorts for you! Comfortable, soft (not that itch crap most of them are made of) easy to pull up and down (important info here ladies) love the length. Not too long but not to daisy duke either. Love them

Pros
  • Provides an alternative to skimpy swimsuits that are uncomfortable or unsuitable
Cons
  • The size can vary depending on the color of the shorts.

Love these shorts! in my review

I LOVE these swim shorts! Do not order a size larger since they fit as expected and towards the large size. One review said the string was only decorative, but the draw string on mine does goes completely around the waste, which I like. I’m fixing to order another pair because I love them so much!

Pros
  • Clothing
Cons
  • Not suitable for formal events or occasions.

BEST short ever best in my review

This is the second pair of shorts I have purchased. I am not one for wearing shorts, but I had to get a pair for paddle boarding and these are perfect. They do not stay wet for long or stick to your skin. Very light weight but very well made. I think they are worth every penny. You could wear them for non-water things but that is what I bought them for. LOVE THEM. Wish they came in more colors, though. The legs do not ride up the thigh when walking. Plenty of room.

Pros
  • B072LVQTLG
Cons
  • Material becomes see-through when wet.

OMG, THESE ARE THE BEST!

Absolutely loved wearing these in Hawaii! Wore them all the time. Better than any of my other shorts. Lightweight, dry quickly, comfortable, fit well. Wore them almost the whole time. I could jump in the water with them and then wear them as shorts to walk around town too. Definitely will buy more of these!

Pros
  • Fully adjustable waistband ensures a perfect fit every time
Cons
  • The shorts can be quite tight around the waistband, causing discomfort.

Love the look for my opinion

I really like these swim shorts. I have not officially wore them out yet, but I will this week. They fit well and are lightweight! Update I wore them on vacation and I love them. Quality material and workmanship, great length, & they look great!

Pros
  • Ultra-comfortable waistband doesn't dig or pinch, even during all-day wear
Cons
  • The shorts can cause rubbing on the inner thigh area.

Buy these! Perfect fit!

Best swim shorts ever! I've tried MANY! They are always too tight and fit weird. These fit like actual shorts but are lightweight. They sit niceley ony waist, loose in the thigh area and are above the knee. Best purchase!

Pros
  • Versatile design makes it perfect for day-to-night wear
Cons
  • The shorts can be quite short in the back, making it inappropriate for some occasions.

Great swim shorts for plus size women!

I am On the 20 side of an 18/20 me with a little bit of room. Not tighten the stomach and But where I hold all of my weight. Definitely great for us pear-shaped gals. And the leg holes provide plenty of room for those of us with big legs. At 5 feet one they went down to my knee is exactly where I want them to be. Perfect for a vacation or just laying around the pool. I will update more once I wear them swimming but as for now they are great just to throw on to run uptown as well.

Pros
  • Provides a feminine yet sporty look that is perfect for any occasion
Cons
  • The shorts can be quite tight around the hips, making it unflattering for some women.

Exactly what I was looking for!

I don't like to show my thighs or my behind while swimming, I have wobbly bits that I just don't want to show. I originally had these little shorts that covered just what I wanted them to but they would ride up and become short shorts and useless. These don't! They stay exactly were they are and I feel extremely comfortable. They do feel heavy when I get out of the water, but I am wearing shorts instead of just a swim suit so that is to be expected and I don't mind it but others might.

Pros
  • Board Shorts
Cons
  • The fabric is prone to wrinkles and creases easily.
