These are hands down my favorite bathing suit bottom! They work well with bikni tops or tankini tops and look fabulous. As a middle aged mom, they make me feel sexy without being over the top (plus, for dark haired women who have a 'bikini line shadow' even after shaving, this helps hide it due to the 'boy shorts' coming down a little further than a regular bikini bottom in the front, lol. Overall, I'm very very happy with these. Excellent quality. I am 5'1 / 115lbs with wider thighs for my build and booty and the Medium fit great. True to size for me.
