Great for Lifeguarding
By Stefanie from Jacksonville, FL on 1/1/2021
Fit: TRUE
These shorts were on clearance and true to size! I was wearing some old shorts that were way too short for work as a lifeguard, but these are a huge upgrade. They go up about mid-thigh when I'm sitting, and they look great!

Great fit!
By Whitz from South Carolina on 12/24/2020
Fit: TRUE
These fit very nicely with enough coverage. They feel like a short that you would wear to work out, but that you can swim in, wear to the beach, around the pool, etc. I'm a pear shape, 5'3" 128lbs and bought the Medium. They are a little snug around my hippy spot but fit well in the waist, and overall fit they way I would expect. I like the little zippered back pocket on the waistband. Great short!

Absolutely the Best
By sandra from Tennessee on 12/17/2020
Fit: TRUE
I have worn these swim shorts for years and I can say they are definetly the best. Comfortable, modest and easy care. Easy to walk in, play with children or swim. In my opinion the absolute best things about them are the pockets and the zipper front. I can wear them all day with a tankini top without a cover up.

By Jennifer Canada from BOERNE, TX on 12/11/2020
Fit: TOOBIG
I used the chart to choose a size. I bought a small - I am a size 4, 5''5", 120 lb. These were too big at the waist and gaped at the back

Quality swim shorts
By Ally from WV on 9/2/2020
Fit: NA
The swim short is made well and covers nicely. I only gave a 4 star because smaller sizes need made available. I wear a size 4. I liked the style of the swim short well enough to still buy them in a size 8, the smallest size offered then, get them altered.

Easy movement, comfortable
By sbrocks from Santa Barbara, California on 8/29/2020
Fit: TRUE
Very comfortable. Inner liner keeps you covered even when the loose shorts are blowing in the wind. Quick dry. Easy to wear even in off the beach. Takes you from water to lunch.

Cute & Comfy
By AdkCelt from Adirondack Mountains, Upstate NY on 8/9/2020
Fit: TRUE
I wore these shorts for SUP Yoga the other night, and love them! I didn't fall in, but got them a bit wet when I got on the SUP, and they dried in no time flat.
Great price, quick shipping, washed on gentle/cold water and hung to dry. I'm 5'3", 115 lbs, and bought a size Med. and they're comfortable; not tight.
I hope you love them as much as I do!

Comfortable! Nice material!
By R from MO on 8/9/2020
Fit: NA
True to size, fits more close [OPENBRK]snug[CLOSEBRK] to the body. Good length, not too long. Covers upper thigh well. More of a thin material, not too thick. They dry fast in the sun. Washed and laid them out to dry, didn’t shrink. I would definitely purchase these shorts again.

Maxine board shorts
By Jeanette D. from MIDLOTHIAN, IL on 7/20/2020
Fit: TOOBIG
The swim shorts are very cute but they run HUGE. Also, the sample color of navy is not accurate. The shorts are a true navy but in the picture are much lighter and brighter. Anyway, I am swimming in my giant swim shorts and have to return it.

Swim wear for only the skinny people
By Jessie from Seattle WA on 7/20/2020
Fit: NA
The shorts I bought were way too small and I ordered XXL large. This company is fat shamming with there sizes. Most other brands of women's clothing a XXL would fit. Will not recommend this brand to anyone.

Great Board Shorts!
By Denise Baumster from Houston, Tx on 7/14/2020
Fit: TOOSMALL
These run small order 1 size up. They are a bit tight but just the right amount of tight. They make your butt look good for people who don't have a butt like me LOL! They sit low so no muffin tops with these. Overall I like them. I have not swam in them yet but I'm sure they will be fine.

Run Very Small
By Swim Mom from Outer Banks, NC on 6/30/2020
Fit: NA
Have not tried to wear these to the beach or pool yet b/c they run VERY small. For reference, I am 5’4, 140 lbs. and typically wear a size 8 or Medium. Using the size guide, I ordered these in XL to be safe. They are still quite snug! I’ll need to lose about 10 more pounds before I can wear them in public. Go at least two sizes up [OPENBRK]but maybe 3[CLOSEBRK] when you order.

Run small
By Michelle from Texas on 6/25/2020
Fit: NA
They run small. Wish I kept the return label to exchange for the next size up, for now they just sit in a drawer because I can’t wear them. Otherwise they are great.

Quality swim shorts
By Cella from Amarillo, Tx on 6/21/2020
Fit: NA
I liked these, but after ready reviews that said they ran smaller than expected, I ordered a larger size and unfortunately they were too large. Had to return and reorder.. I wear a 28 waist. I think the medium size is best for me.

Great pair of swim shorts.
By Nancy M. from Sacramento, CA on 6/12/2020
Fit: NA
These shorts run true to size but not color. The navy is the same as the other blue I returned and wanted black but they were out of stock, so I settled for white. That is how much I love these shorts. Great fit and comfortable.

Too big.
By Lisa S. from Flagstaff, AZ on 6/8/2020
Fit: TOOBIG
I followed the size guide and the model's size, and the item was probably 2 sizes too big. I waited on hold to talk to customer service but after several minutes, was disconnected. So I decided to return rather than exchange because I didn't feel I was going to find a good fit without trying it on first. I also did not want to spend money on multiple returns if the next 2 sizes down did not fit right.
I bought all 3 colors and they were bright (as expected) and the material was nice (thinner than expected but not cheap material). I would have been happy to keep these shorts if they fit well.

Reviews about size misleading
By HEATHER from FL on 6/4/2020
Fit: TOOBIG
I normally wear a 4/6. I read so many reviews saying these run small that I ordered a medium instead of the small I would normally order. They were HUGE in a medium. I have no idea why so many reviews say they run small. They were so big that I think a small would be too big! Aside from that, they seemed just ok. I don't know that I liked all the snaps rather than a regular zipper or even pull on option. I returned them and did not try to exchange for a small since there are no free returns on this site and I had to pay to send the mediums back.

Board shorts.
By Wenj from Stoneville, NC on 5/31/2020
Fit: NA
Nice shorts. I am 5’1’ and 158lbs. I’m thicker right in the waist area. I ordered the 10 & 12 because I just wasn’t sure which I needed. I kept the 12s. The fit is good. I got all 5 colors. The legs are a little wide but ok. Love that they have pockets and the built in panty. I would definitely recommend.

Comfortable Board Short
By Navygal from Portland, ME on 5/26/2020
Fit: TOOBIG
Love the material in these board shorts. Material is cool, quick drying. They do run large. Glad I read the reviews before ordering. Ordered a small for my 5'4" 125 lb frame and the fit is loose, a medium would have been huge.
