Because of the reviews I had ordered two sizes, even "my" size and once the next smaller size. Like other reviewers before me I have kept the smaller size. Returning the not retained swim shorts with third parties (product was not sold directly by Amazon) was not a problem. Did the shorts worn a few times now and they seem to get along well with both salt and chlorine water. You can see the shorts in appearance even easily carry as shorts, but she feels more scratchy when dry because of the quite hard inner material permanently on. If the pants therefore really only recommended for swimming and hanging out at the pool or beach.
