I saw another reviewr claim these swim shorts covered her "bubble butt". I have a bit of a figure in that regard (5'8" 130lbs, waist 27", hips 36"), so thought these might provide the coverage I'm looking for. I found a size chart for Body Glove online, which said I was a medium, but went ahead and ordered large as some of the other reviews suggested. I ordered a large. They fit in the waist band size, and around the hips, however, they did not provide adequate coverage for my rear. Sitting or bending provided indecent exposure :) for these shorts to work. The black color was nice, the material felt thick and good quality. These feel like they will last. But, due to sizing issues and inadequate fit, these will be going back.
