    Finally! Real coverage

    I absolutely love these swim bottoms!! So many bikini bottoms claim to be full coverage but still show a huge chunk of cheek and give me a wedgy I have to unpick all day long if I'm actually trying to be active at the beach or lake. These are fabulous and I love the cute fabric. I'm not as into loose shorts or swim skirts that have extra fabric that gets in the way, so compression shorts are ideal. Thank you for actually designing suits for multiple types of bodies!!

    Perfect fit!

    As a 50 something, my thighs aren’t as toned as they used to be. I feel comfortable in the pool or on the beach with these great shorts.

    Beach vs Pool

    I really like these shorts - I got both the 6 and 8 inch in the navy blue to give myself some options. They look cute with the Korbyn bikini top and also with the print rashguards. I do get a bit of rolling at the waist and would prefer them not to be so high-waisted, but they still work well for me and I love having the extra coverage on the bottom for water activities. I thought they were designed for swimming, but maybe they're meant more for surfing and fitness? Either way, I wouldn't recommend wearing them in a pool. They're great for the beach or anywhere with unchlorinated water, but after wearing mine in a chlorinated pool for 3 or 4 lap swimming sessions the stitching has noticeably faded. It now stands out as a light purple against the dark navy of the fabric and they look a lot older and more worn than they actually are, which is disappointing. I always rinse them right away after getting out of the pool and wash them in cold water on the delicate cycle with a delicates-specific detergent, so I would expect them to still look good as new after so few wearings.

    Cute and comfy

    Comfort wise, I prefer shorts to a bikini bottom, but I still want to look cute. These fit the bill!

    Love these!

    I purchased the shorts and matching top to wear in a 25 mile outrigger canoe race. They were so comfortable in and out of the canoe Plus, I received multiple compliments on the look after the race. I’ve since sworn them on the SUP and swimming and couldn’t be happier with the comfort and support.
