Great board shorts - definitely a generous fit. I'm 5'4" and curvy and got an XL, and they have a little room. They are so comfy and feel well made! I got them for a kayaking trip and they will be perfect. Love the look of the colorful stripes on black!

Awesome shorts! Love the fit, colors, and comfy inside boyshort-style liner. But I definitely agree with others that the lacing system is unnecessary and annoying. The laces are super long, and I'll probably end up cutting them shorter and burning the ends. When tied, there's extra fabric bunched up under the laces, in addition to the bulk created by the laces themselves. I'd buy more pairs if they just had a regular in-waist drawstring! I was between sizes S and M and sized up based on reviews, since I'd rather them baggy than tight, though I probably would've been fine with the smaller size too since they're looser-fitting. Also hope you make more shorts, both swim/athletic and for everyday wear, since it's so hard to find good-fitting 7" shorts.

Unlike traditional underwear that usually contain a gore, within the liner there's a mid seam that runs along the vulva area that hasn't been lain flat. It connects with the leg seams to create a large knot-like area directly over the back of the vulva. It digs and chafes the labia and threatens to give the wearer cameltoe. At $70 I didn't expect such poor user design. Consider sizing up if you purchase these.

I love the bathing suit board shorts so much. I wish the waistband was different, though. I'm in between sizes and need to size up, since the smaller size is too tight. When swimming in a pool or at the beach with waves, the water shifts the board shorts and they don't feel secure, almost like they could fall off with enough force. I wish the way that you tied the strings was different and instead of being laced, was inside of the waist band for more control in tightening. Having more security in how tight I could make the waist band fit my waist and hips would be an incredible design change. I would probably own every single pattern of the boardshorts at that point. Other than that, super comfortable, love the patterns. Favorite suit yet.

I am not crazy about the corset style drawstring, but after tying it once and leaving it, I can just slip off and on without noticing. The shorts are very cute and nice material. Perfect length too.

My girlfriend and I love these and keep stealing them from each other. Soft and comfortable. String is a little crazy long but small gripe.

I LOVE these shorts! Such a great fit, so comfy, great length and I didn't expect the draw strings which help with an even better fit. My favorite swim bottoms!

Fit is nice. Roomy. Maybe a little too roomy. I’m used to board shorts that are a little more sleek. However, I know I can be as active as I want in these shorts and they have the room for it. The string is a little long. Other than that these a great and go well with the matching top. Can’t wait to hit the water.
