G GradualWomen's 7" Quick Dry High Waisted Swim Board Shorts with Zipper Pockets UPF 50+ Beach Shorts for Women with Liner

Due to major illnesses, surgery, and scars I have not worn a bathing suit in 4 years. No swimming at all. I've missed a lot. I have tried on so many disappointing suits and literally gave up due to my uniqueness in build. These swim shorts not only covers my abdominal scars comfortably but provides support staying up; no rolling or riding. True to size and not too thick or thin material, easily moving in water. They give me a smooth look almost slimming not billowy or "old lady look" as my child says. They also give me the freedom of my own top choices. Love the zipper pockets and size. After 4 years I'm finally joining my child at the pool and feel like I fit in. Thank you.

Size agrees perfectly with the chart size I ordered. I love the material and the beautiful sky blue color. I am ordering a 2nd pair.

Updated 4/30: I ordered these in two other colors. Beware, the white is see through! I can’t believe they sell them to customers.I am a curvy XL 14/16. First ordered up one size, sent those back then sized up 3 sizes to get them to fit without being skin tight! So why bother, you ask? Because honestly the material is as good of quality as something you would buy at Lulu*emon or L*nd’s E*d. Butterysoft and they are so comfy and flattering.

I used the Size Chart to determine the size I needed and it fits perfectly.I ordered a 2X and the relaxed waistband and short length is ideal for me for someonewho is older and needs a bit more coverage. Pockets have zipper closure.The fabric is like that of a all weather jacket- will be perfect for pool and beach.

Fourth order remains consistent per the descriptions. Comfortable & side pockets zip to a flattering appeal. True to size chart. Quick dry, I don't put them in the dryer.

Great for comfort, coverage. Used for ocean swimming.

I ordered a large and it fits me perfectly. I love the length, it was just what I was looking for.

There are many swim short brands on Amazon. G Gradual swim shorts are the best among the following brands I've tried out (with similar pricing): Hugut, URBest, BaLeaf, Rocorose, Willits. I prefer the smoother waistlines of G Gradual and their fabric is very nice. The quality feels thicker and edges of the shorts are finished and do not look simply cut out (unlike that of BaLeaf). From my try outs (for swim shorts), from best to last (or least favored), I rank the brands as follows: G Gradual, URBest, Rocorose, BaLeaf then Willits. My apologies if I've compared apples to oranges but my big beef is the way the waistlines are sewn (smooth vs cinched waistlines) as I prefer smoother wasitlines and how thick / thin the fabric is.

These are very good, I like the zip pocket so I can keep car keys secure (in a waterproof bag!) so they don't float away. Only drawback, which they lose one star for, is the inner briefs. The legs are very high cut. If the leg of the shorts did ride up, gape, or whatever, anyone looking would get an eyeful. I think if someone is buying board shorts they aren't wanting to show off that much of that part of their body. The inner briefs would be better with a boy leg.
