I’ve worn boardshorts since I was about 12.
These are awesome !!
The material is great dries quick and really comfortable. Colors and patterns are really pretty I bought blue ones also and they are really cute.
I did buy a larger size at first because reviews said to go up and also the longer style pair and the longer we’re great also.
I’m 5’2 and 185+ and this sizep16 is perfect I have no junk in my trunk and I’m straight up and down like a boy I have a tummy a big tummy . I hope that helps with sizing.
*I have to say because I think some just don’t understand what boardshorts are ..
The ties are NOT useful never have been on any bordshorts I’ve ever had and I’ve lived in them for years. The velcro (if the bordshorts have them) takes a bit to soften.
Not all have elastic waists if you need strech look for elastic.
Companies didn’t make boardshorts for a girl over about a size12 because “fat girls” can’t surf or who knows their own vanity maybe.. I had to wear boys and men’s for a really long time. So finding a company that actually makes them and makes them right is rare. I know maybe 3 this one included.
The return shipping fee sucks and is surprising in today’s world of online buying and instead of exchanging the last order I returned it so I lost out on the shipping being reimbursed.
My advice would be to exchange if you have any issues with size rather then return, if you have the time to deal with it you save the 4 bucks.
I will definitely buy again these are really great shorts !

I needed swim shorts that would feel comfortable in the water and on a bike. I bike about 1.5 miles to my snorkeling area and have thick thighs. The swim shorts I was using were great for swimming, but were binding me on the ride, especially when wet. The stretch fabric in these shorts takes care of that problem. The pocket has already been useful for taking out small pieces of trash too. I got a size up for the shorts upon reading the recommendations. I can pull them off without unfastening them, but they stay on well while swimming, so I am happy with that choice. Ordered a second pair actually.
Sam Samson –
I ordered the size 10 in black.
While most boardshorts I have tried on veer towards the small size these are true to size or slightly larger. Exact measurements below.
They have a velcro and tie waistband with a 5″ x 4″ side pocket with a velcro flap and drainage hole.
Side to side measurement on size 10 are as follows:
Waistband: 18.5 inches
Hips: 21 inches
Leg: 12.5 inches
Rise is 9.5 inches
Inseam is 5 inches
Nice soft polyester with 10% spandex. Seams are tight and they seem well made. material is soft.
I am fairly slim hipped with muscular legs.
I am returning these. There’s a little too much material gap between my legs and the shorts (4 inches too much) and while they are okay I had hoped for more from a pair of polyesters shorts priced at $33.
I took photos but the Amazon app and iPad have a long standing conflict that causes Amazon to lose the review every time I add photos – fix this please, Amazaon!
FabPhleb –
Was crossing my fingers that I ordered the right size. I relied on others reviews regarding sizing when ordering. I am between a size 14 & 16. Most 16’s are too big for me, but some 14’s are too small. Ordered a size 16 and they fit EXCELLENT! Tried ’em on for my hubby and he said they looked nice. Very happy with this purchase.
J. Sterlein –
I absolutely love these shorts. I was looking for something that I could wear to swim, boat, walk, hike, and whatever else the day brought. These are perfect. The material dries very fast and has a nice amount of stretch without getting stretched out. We walked around Martha’s Vineyard all day, jumped off the jaws bridge, and returned to sightseeing without missing a beat or having to change clothes. I highly recommend them.
Lindsey G –
I purchased these board shorts for a recent beach trip (with excursions) and they worked great! I tried four different pairs of board shorts in different brands before the trip, and these were the most comfortable and had the best fit—and they were the best price too! I like that they have both a Velcro fly and a tie string to secure the front. They were comfortable for walking, swimming, riding an ATV, and in various harnesses on a zip-line course. The also have a small Velcro side pocket which was useful. They seem high quality so far! Also, I’m tall (5’10”) and these were a perfect length on me—not too short. Very happy with this purchase.
Danielle Zeigler –
I bought these specifically to use at local theme parks, but living in Florida means I use them more often than not. They’re exactly what I wanted – light weight, comfortably, quick drying, versatile. Perfect! I’ll be buying more soon – totally worth the price!
To give an idea of sizing – I wear a 16 (14 on a good day) and carry most of my weight in hips/butt/thighs. There is a slight “pooching” of fabric in the front groin area, but my shirts are never short enough where this would be seen or a problem. Leg length is perfect to avoid “chub-rub” but not so long that it looks like you’re wearing men’s swim trunks.

I agonized over buying these shorts vs. others. I read all of the reviews and in the end I purchased two sizes. My pants size is a 12 so I ordered a 12 and a 14 just in case. I’m exchanging the 14 for a 12. The material is lightweight and the shorts seem well made. They look good. I gained a lot of weight this year after a divorce and I was not feeling good about putting a bathingsuit on. I decided to wear these with a rash guard or a tankini top. I am 5’5″ with muscular legs and thick knees lol. I was worried they would be snug in the legs and they are not. These shorts are the perfect length. Not too short but not frumpy. I am not super curvy so my rear and waist are proportionate to the rest of my body. I’d say average body shape. They sit below the belly button making them very comfortable. I could get away with the 14 if I planned on staying this size. They don’t look bad. My boyfriend said they were cute and liked them until I put on the 12 and then he said actually, those fit better. It depends if you like to have a little extra room or not. I think they fit true to size. There’s a little give in the material but not so much that they feel like they will stretch out.

I read all the reviews, measured my own boardshorts to see how it compared to one review that posted measurements (very helpful!) and decided on the size 8. The fit is great and comfortable. I am petite but have big hips and thighs (usually wear size 6 pants/jeans in Old Navy or Gap) so I often have problems finding good fitting shorts and pants.
Waist band: 16 inches
Hip: 19 inches
Leg opening: 12 inches
(Give or take a cm or 2)
Something is up with my phone camera so the boardshorts are coming up bluish instead of black in the photo.
Will definitely consider buying another pair.
Rangerfan25 –
They fit perfect and have a Velcro to help around the belly. Very happy with this purchase
Sarah –
I ordered a size up because I wanted them to be roomy. They fit with plenty of space to spare. The correct size would probably be fine, but I wanted to be able to wear a bathing suit under these since they do not have a liner.
Beach Wife –
I am a size 8/10 in pants. My hips at their widest are 41 inches. I ordered the size 10 and it was too small. I returned it and got the size 12 which fits good in the hips. It’s a bit big in the waist but I can adjust it a little. The white tie on the front is not really functional. There is a velcro closure behind it. If I put the two sides of the velcro touching completely, the shorts will sit on my upper hips. If I move the velcro so that it is off-center and I pull the white tie hard together at the top, I can make the waist a little smaller and it will fit up higher but not quite on my true waist.
The fabric feels good and the shorts are long enough to cover well. You don’t have to wear anything under them as no one can see up. I tested this by sitting on the floor opposite a full length mirror with my knees up to my chest and the shorts were long enough to fit tight around the thighs in this extreme position without revealing anything. I’ll test the shorts in the water and, if they don’t perform well, I’ll update this review.

Wow! Helps me cover my post kids + COVID bod. I tried several board shorts on amazon, and they all fit strangely, not like I remember from the 90s where they were shorts that didn’t usually have elastic and weren’t tight and weren’t super short (I’m not in my teens any longer). These were perfect for stretch and they lay flat. Bunch minimally. This the the best brand out of like 5-6 I tried, and I was getting super depressed about my extra weight, just wanting to play with my kids in the water or have a skinny visitor over without feeling self conscious. I love these. I’m 5’7.5” and 170 lbs, and size 12 fit perfectly for me.
Joanna Eastment –
Great shorts! I love the length and they are fairly flattering on my not-so-petite figure. I normally wear a size 14 (curvy) jeans. I ordered these in a size 16 but they were too large and felt like they might fall off when wet. I returned the 16 and reordered in a 14 and they were perfect.
Heather C –
LOVE. THESE. SHORTS. They absolutely fit perfect and the way they stretch is awesome! I’m tall, but a little thicker in the torso with stilts for legs so I tend to have trouble finding board shorts that are a good length/fit and aren’t boxy everywhere else. They are very flattering, don’t ride up OR down and they are true-to-size. After receiving my first pair I order two more in different colors because I honestly feel like I’ve been looking for these board shorts my entire life! Not to mention, customer service was AWESOME after one pair was lost on its way!
MKD –
It is so hard trying to find women’s board shorts. They are either too long or too short and they never fit well for people with bigger butts. These shorts are great, I did go one size up because I didn’t want them to be too tight and they fit perfectly. They are the perfect length and I love all the cool patterns. I will be ordering more in different patterns now that I know how nice they are.
Michigan Dad –
My daughter and I love these shorts, great stretch, super comfortable, I just wish the waist was adjustable so I could gain or loose 10lbs, we used them on multiple land to water excursions in the carribbean, they don’t chafe, and dry fast, fyi I used REI body glide to prevent my upper thighs from chaffing, worked great, I lost weight so I had to buy a smaller second pair. I am 5’3″ 150lbs normally a 8/10, I have both the L 10 and the M 8.
ck –
purchased for an upcoming vacation so while I can not attest to how they will stay on while being active in the water I can say that they look great and fit exactly the way I wanted, I wanted to wear over my suit – I am usually between a 6 and an 8 so I ordered 8 and they work great!
Vita Montoya –
I wear a size 8 -10 but I bought a size 10 as I wanted it to have some room and it fits perfectly with some room to breathe and it made very well.. I love it so much I plan to buy more.
Amazon Customer –
This was my second pair I bought because I love them that much. I’m a 16 and they fit perfect.
CDGBA –
Fabric on these shorts is perfect. The shorts ere cut just right and fit great. Very slimming! Dry quickly. Generous pocket. Perfect length at 5″ and they are very comfortable. Not constantly digging them out of myself.
Heather Fulk –
I’m so happy with these shorts. I got them to wear to the gym so that I could swim laps without showing all of my goodies. I ordered my regular pants size and they fit absolutely perfect.
Amazon Customer –
Love these shorts! They are so comfortable and fit true to size
Theresa B. –
Quality material. Great style and comfortable to wear, even while sitting. Fit as expected. It does not have a liner but you can wear something under if needed. The velro and tie closure is very secure. I would buy again. Product arrived quickly.
Timemaster –
Love these! They were perfect for my Caribbean vacation. Perfect fit and loved the pocket which was perfect for my room key.
Michelle S. –
