Women's Smoothies Black's Beach Solid 4" Vapor Boardshort

I am 5' 5", 160 pounds. I usually wear a size large, but went with the size chart provided and got the recommended xl. They fit perfectly at my butt and legs, but it's a little too loose at my waist (hips, actually, they're pretty low-rise). The drawstring closure is only attached at the front and does not go all the way around, so it isn't much help tightening the shorts. I worry some about them falling down in the waves, but I can tell that a large would be too small everywhere else, so I kept the xl. Fabric is of a good quality, dries quickly, and I expect the shorts to last awhile.

I bought these in a medium because I absolutely hate when the inseam of board shorts rides up and I don’t like to wear a bottom underneath. That being said, these fit a bit loose and I’m not sure how they will hold up in the water. I’m 100% sure that the small would be too tight in the love handle department. They are comfortable and flattering. They are a nice mid rise, not too short or too long. I think if you have thick thighs, these probably won’t be your friend. I wish there was a way to tighten them just a *smidge* more.

I'm 5'4" 120 lbs and ordered a small. It fit great. Super cute, super comfortable and great quality. Would definitely order again.

I tried to buy boardshorts from other stores a couple of years ago, but they had leg holes that were way too loose. I like to actually swim instead of lay down in the sun all day, so that didn't work. I was skeptical about getting these (I have the 8" version of them) because I was worried I would have the same problem. Fortunately, my junk doesn't hang out of these as the legs are appropriately fitted and also have a bit of stretch. I have them in black and blue, and only wish I had more variety to choose from. Great shorts, I will be buying them again in the future!

These are my favorite swim shorts. They fit well, a size L sits low, loose and flat on the waist for an hourglass women's size 10. Tie closure on the front allows for some adjustability in the waist, and a bit of velcro hidden in the overlap of the front closure keeps the front closed and flat. Shorts fit just a bit loose for a smooth line over the hip and rear, a flattering fit for curves, no riding up in the seat. Loose enough in the leg to be easy to swim in. Four inch inseam. They are super soft and dry almost instantly, faster than my swimsuit. Two angled flat pockets up front, and one rectangular one in the back, just large enough for your visa and id, with a sturdy velcro closure. All pockets have smooth seams, sit flat, almost invisibly, and are lined with mesh so they don't collect water. Great for adding coverage to a bikini for running to the store, for going to the pool, or for swimming in.I am getting another pair of these and getting rid of the other swim shorts in the drawer.

These are great! Very flattering. Other board shorts either synch me too tight on the waist and give me a muffin top, or they look baggy and unflattering, or they have this awkward pooch in the front as if they were made for men. These ones are wonderful! I bought the blue and the black. I'm a size 10 and the large fits me great.

Haven't worn these to the beach yet or gotten them wet yet, but they're comfortable and flattering. I bought my usual size and they fit as expected. I'm more or less hourglass shaped, size 6, 5'2 and about 130 lbs. They look great with a red bikini top. Nice for us older ladies who don't want to walk around the beach in bikini bottoms.

I would give these 5 starts because I LOVE them but after the 2nd wash in the washing machine the seam on the back pocket must have shrunk slightly because the fabric is all bunched up now where the seam is. I may have washed it in warm water but I hung to dry. I was very surprised and sad this happened!
