Love these shorts!  Very nice material, perfect length, great style!  However I ordered an XS (2) and they were way to big. If they would have been a little to big I would have kept them.  :(

I bought these board shorts to wear at a water park while on vacation.  I feel more comfortable with shorts on over my swimsuit.  These fit well, a little wiggle room which is good, but not too much.  The color and construction of the shorts is great.   I feel really good wearing these, not self conscious at all!!!!  Thanks

Because most the reviews indicated the product feels too small, I bought a large. It was a little too big. A medium would have been perfect. After receiving the large  I was going to order a medium right away (to have for a vacation) and then return the large however, no mediums were available at that time in the same color.  They dry very fast and the shape is flatering. I wanted to cover my thighs, but still wanted to have a womanly shape.  They do that, but still needed a medium not a large. So go with your instincts.

I was happy to find some this long and cute too.

Have one in Medium..... needed it just a little bit larger to be comfortable.  Ordered a large, the velcro closed exactly the same as the medium.  Returned it.  Love the suit though, but wish they would put a panty inside to stop the chafing from the seam.

One would think a pair of large board shorts would be sized the same as a pair of regular women's large shorts.  NOT!  These were a medium size at best.  Ran VERY small.  Buyer beware.
