Really cute bottoms with good coverage that's not over-doing it. Because they are reversible, there's no elastic around the legs - so while they stay in place for walking around a pool, you might lose them if you try to surf in them. I am 5'2" and 135 lbs. Last year I bought this same style bottom (but not reversible) and ordered a M. So I purchased a M in these, but they fit more like a large. When laid up against the ones from last year, the backside had an additional 1" of material, making them sag. I returned them for a small and they fit much better! Happy with these bottoms, but just wish they had some elastic so I could wear them for water sports as well.

I was disappointed in the elastic band in the reversible bottoms. The waistline began drooping after two pool swims. The elastic over my bottom also loosened. By the end of one week, I was double checking myself before pulling myself out of the pool. I wish I had chosen a different style, but the reversible had the most comfortable coverage compared to the others I had tried at the time.
