Women's Maui Rippers 5" 4-Way Stretch Swim Boardshorts

Nicole Z.: Nice color. Not as stretchy as I imagined but not a problem for me personally. I wish the pocket was a little bigger-doesn’t quite fit my smaller sized smart phone. Definitely sits at the lower hips. Length is good for me as it covers without being too long.

Modern-Deaux: These shorts are a great length and are so comfortable. Good quality for the money.

Amazon Customer: These shorts suffer from what many brands suffer from when designing for larger sizes. Instead of creating unique measurements for each size, they simply scaled up the pattern from the small sizes for the larger sizes. This results in the larger sizes fitting awkwardly. That all being said, if it fits your shape, then awesome. I ordered my size and one size up to try them both on. These sit on the high hip, not at- or even close to my waist (I am high-waisted) so I needed the size up to avoid that awful muffin-top look. In order to fit my waist, they are very loose around my actual hips and legs. There is no wiggle-room in the waistband of these trunks except to maybe cinch them 1/2"-3/4" tighter. There is no stretch in the waist. The larger sizes of these trunks would be perfect for people with a smaller/lower waist and larger hips/thighs. You should be able to order your natural size if you have that body shape.

The material is similar to mens trunks and that is what I was looking for. Most swim shorts for women are still made out of swimsuit material and I didn't want that, though I do not understand why they don't put a mesh liner like they do with men's trunks. You...

Coco: I've worn boardshorts since I was about 12.
These are awesome !!
The material is great dries quick and really comfortable. Colors and patterns are really pretty I bought blue ones also and they are really cute.
I did buy a larger size at first because reviews said to go up and also the longer style pair and the longer we're great also.

I'm 5'2 and 185+ and this sizep16 is perfect I have no junk in my trunk and I'm straight up and down like a boy I have a tummy a big tummy . I hope that helps with sizing.

*I have to say because I think some just don't understand what boardshorts are ..
The ties are NOT useful never have been on any bordshorts I've ever had and I've lived in them for years. The velcro (if the bordshorts have them) takes a bit to soften.
Not all have elastic waists if you need strech look for elastic.
Companies didn't make boardshorts for a girl over about a size12 because "fat girls" can't surf or who knows their own vanity maybe.. I had to wear boys and men's for a really long time. So finding a company that actually makes them and makes them right is rare. I know maybe 3 this one included.

The return shipping fee sucks and is...

Michelle: I agonized over buying these shorts vs. others. I read all of the reviews and in the end I purchased two sizes. My pants size is a 12 so I ordered a 12 and a 14 just in case. I'm exchanging the 14 for a 12. The material is lightweight and the shorts seem well made. They look good. I gained a lot of weight this year after a divorce and I was not feeling good about putting a bathingsuit on. I decided to wear these with a rash guard or a tankini top. I am 5'5" with muscular legs and thick knees lol. I was worried they would be snug in the legs and they are not. These shorts are the perfect length. Not too short but not frumpy. I am not super curvy so my rear and waist are proportionate to the rest of my body. I'd say average body shape. They sit below the belly button making them very comfortable. I could get away with the 14 if I planned on staying this size. They don't look bad. My boyfriend said they were cute and liked them until I put on the 12 and then he said actually, those fit better. It depends if you like to have a little extra room or not. I think they fit true to size. There's a little give in the material but not so much that they feel like they will stretch out.
