This is in no way shape or form (pun intended) sized by traditional increments (small, medium, large). I ordered a medium and it was large enough for 2 of me.

I returned the item. 1 star

I got these primarily because they were marked down & had free shipping. I didn't want to get regular trunks which are so baggy and cumbersome for swimming, but I didn't want to get briefs or thongs that can look questionable to some people (even though the only real difference is the amount of leg showing). This style offered movement and comfort with support. I liked the way it looked: black with a red and a white stripe going diagonally up the side. It fits comfortably under most clothes and I could wear them all day. They fit comfortably, and only require adjustment with the drawstring for a perfect fit. The mesh material breathes and keeps out of the way, while the cuffs around the legs hug your thigh to offer complete freedom of movement, with modesty. 4 stars
