UV SKINZWomen’s Active Swim Shorts with UPF 50+ Sun Protection – Modest Swimsuit Shorts for Women

Very pleased with these swim shorts! I am in my mid-40s and am in ok shape but I had been looking for something to swim in that would give me more coverage while still looking sporty rather than dowdy. (Even when I was younger, I usually felt too "exposed" in most bathing suits.) I tried other swim shorts but the only ones I found at brick-and-mortar stores were ones that were more like regular shorts (with wider-cut legs) and they would flare out under the water and I hated that. Plus, they weren't very flattering out of the water (they were too boxy/loose-looking). I tried a swim skirt too, but it also would flare out and it seemed to grandma-ish for my age. I looked and looked at a ton of other swim shorts online but I noticed a lot of reviews for others complained about material that was too thin and a lack of lining inside and mentioned they didn't feel covered enough or felt like they had to either wear underwear underneath those shorts or wear something else over those shorts.Then I came across these swim shorts! The material definitely has adequate thickness and they are fully lined, so there's no need to wear anything underneath. I recently wore them on a vacation where I went swimming, snorkeling, and to a water park with slides and tube rides. The shorts were great--they're flattering and fit just like exercise/bike shorts, so your legs sort of feel "held in place" (in a good way). They fit true to size (I'm just under 5' 6", weigh about 125-128 pounds, and wear an 8 or a 6 in misses' pants size depending on the brand and style, so I ordered the mediums and they fit very nicely). They are comfortable with all sort of activity and go great with shoulder-strap style "tankini" tops.So "in short," these shorts are great! I like them so much I think I will order a 2nd pair or maybe even 3rd pair to have on hand in case I can't find them in the future and since it took me several years of looking to find these!. I also am thinking of ordering a pair of the longer "swim jammerz" shorts (also from UV Skinz) in case I might want the longer-leg style for some events/activities.

I paired this with the top to use as a swim suit. I have worn 5 times and washed twice and so far it is holding up extremely well. The quality seems excellent, and the overall fit is flattering. It's a great suit to wear while being active. I wore this while snorkeling and playing with my kids in the pool. I loved the length. I find just above the knee an unflattering look, however I also don't like them really short. These were perfect, hitting right at mid leg. The shorts stayed in place without having to be adjusted or pulled up. They are very comfortable. I used their sizing chart to pick what size to purchase. The shorts turned out to be the correct size. The top was a tad to big.

I have curves in all the wrong places and I don't feel comfortable in regular swimsuits anymore. This is the best choice I could find for still feeling comfortable in and out of the water. I pair them with an extra large Triathlon top, which I found compresses things nicely. There is no swimwear that will make me look slim again but this was the best combo I could find. I had tried regular exercise shorts before but they would be too transparent when wet and worn without underwear. These shorts have two layers of fabric, cover well and dry fast. I usually wear a size 12/14 and I ordered a Medium. The medium is very tight but compresses nicely and I like it that way. I'm docking one star because one of the seems on the waistband came apart the first time I tried the shorts on. I'm hoping that's just an isolated issue with this one seam and I'm ordering a second pair. I was still able to wear the shorts on a recent vacation with lots of snorkeling and they've been holding up very well otherwise.

Great quality, exactly what I was looking for. Glad I purchased these rather than trying to go with a less expensive brand because I wouldn't have gotten as good of a design as these. I know because I tried several on and returned before finding these! I'm 5'2" and 162 pounds (haven't lost pregnancy weight yet) and the waistband on these are flattering because they do not create a tummy bulge and they hold everything in well (I ordered size Large). Great length; longer than regular shorts so they fit my overweight thighs well but do not go down to the knees, so perfect in the middle length I wanted. These are very comfortable and stay in place wet and dry. No camel toe thanks to the good design of the seams, fully lined, not see through. Surprisingly, was not a struggle to pull them up wet after going to the bathroom. LOVE THEM. Paired them with this top found on amazon: Gabrielle-Aug Women's Vintage Floral Tie-Front Tankini Top Swimsuit(FBA) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06ZY52W6J/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Measurements: 5’3” / W 28 / H 38I bought a medium. Small was a bit too tight for me.So i have terrible stretchmarks on my thighs and hate wearing a bathing suit. For years I’ve bought board shorts or skirts to cover them to wear over my bathing suit. Everything makes me look like a grandma/mom or a tomboy or a little girl. I hated it. UNTIL TODAY!!! i was looking for a fitted ,comfortable, yet decent coverage shorts to wear esp for water rides which i love. I’m a young 35 year old. LOL these shorts are PERFFFEECTTTT! I finally feel covered and sexy!! Thank you so much for creating these. It just so happens that i have skin cancer as well and I’m proud to support this company , knowing the back story. Thank you 100% for these. The length is just right. Covers my stretchmarks and also feels sexy- couldn’t ask for anything more. ;)

Worn almost every day during a year in Australia; survived dogs, cats, jogging, chlorine and full-on Australian summer sun. Great product.
