I love these swim shorts! They're durable and have a panty type liner in them. They are true to size and the waistband is really comfortable...not too tight but just snug enough that they won't slide down when in water. I lap swim but I purchased these for some upcoming beachy type trips that we have planned. I usually wear an XXL, or 18W. I ordered an XXL in these and they fit perfectly! I'm 5'6" and weigh 215 lbs. I love the little side pockets, although I do wish they had one zipper pocket. Overall, a really great swim short! Read more
Love these shorts for wearing over my one piece for aquatherapy. The pockets are also nice for keeping your phone in while they're still dry. I wear them twice, rinsing the chlorine out with cold water each time, before putting them in the wash inside-outted on delicate and have seen no decrease in quality by doing so. If you use them in the pool and lean or rub against the rough pool wall or have them rubbing against other fabrics frequently, like in a gym bag, this WILL damage the fabric, just like any other swimsuit. My hips are 38", height is 5'3.5", and I got the 9" inseam and they are super comfortable and fit perfectly with no riding up. Read more
I love these swim shorts. They are so comfortable and they protect me from the sun. The fit is great. I know that it says high waisted, but it is not that high and it is very comfortable. I used these shorts all last summer at the pool and they have held up so wonderfully that I am wearing them currently on a vacation. I purchased them in June 2025. I am writing this review because I am ordering another pair. I am 5 feet 200 pounds and I ordered the 5 inch in seem on the xxl. Love them! Read more
OK, they will not turn heads but they cover all necessary areas. The fabric is comfortable not thick or heavy and offers some support around tummy and thighs but not restrictive. My only complaint seams are visible on outside of garment which makes them look like their inside out. Plus benefit is the inner panty; it feels silky against your skin. I am 5' 7'' and 240 lbs size 3xl. Read more
These shorts are perfect! They fit just right around my waist and thighs, and they feel so sleek. I absolutely love the pockets on both sides and the color is true black. The length is short enough to look good with my tankini top but also long enough so I feel very comfortable wearing them. Read more
I have not used them yet, however the fit is perfect and very stylish. I got the 3” inseam as I am 5’4” and 118 lbs for reference and purchased the size medium. The pockets do fit a cellphone. Read more
60+ yr old, 5'4, 154 lb, curvy. Got XL to fit abdominal spread. Fits well! Have tankini tops, and want more coverage for bottom than a panty. Works great! Comfortable. Stretchy. Maybe will also use for walks/ hikes/ gym. Only used in pool twice, will see how it holds up. Read more
I chose Hodosport because I have a short sleeve sun shirt that I am very happy with. Unfortunately, I will be returning these board shorts. The small size seems to fit comfortably for my 119 lb. slender build but the material is very thin and seems to be made of an inferior material when compared to another brand that I have on hand. I will be conducting water work in these shorts and need a material that will hold up. I will be ordering the other brand, if they have my size, even if it means I have to choose another color. These shorts may work perfectly for someone else who will not be sliding on and off platforms. Read more
