Customer Reviews Body Glove Smoothies Sidekick Swim Short

I liked the look of these shorts, but ultimately they were too small and gave me that super flattering muffin top look. I'm going to keep looking for a pair of short shorts that don't squeeze my top squishy areas so much.

These are ok but not my fav. Main complaint is they make my butt look flatter than it is because of the cut and the extra strip of elastic around the legs which creates the four-cheek look. I also got the Body Glove Sweetheart bottom- wow! Now those I highly recommend if booty view is a priority.

Not exactly what I was hoping for. I am a size 12 and these were not figure flattering.

I loved these the first 2 times I wore them but it's true what everyone is saying- the elastic banding on the top gets loose and you can look down and see your womanly quite easily. Don't stand near tall men with these on. It's really too bad cuz there's not that great of a selection of these types of bottoms and they really do LOOK adorable but it's a total waste of $ for the outcome. And I was not doing laps in a pool I was sitting in a spa.

I really wish I'd read the reviews of these bottoms more closely. I now see there are two other reviews warning people of exactly what I discovered when I tried these on: the dreaded camel toe. I love everything else about these bottoms. They cover way more than 99% of the bikini bottoms out there. But there's no way I could wear these to the beach and not feel completely self-conscious. Such a shame!

Lovely design. I am short (5'3") and reasonably fit (a somewhat muscular 130 pounds), but still have plenty of the usual "lady jelly" on my upper thighs and lower belly. These swim shorts did not make that a problem at all. But I still sent them back--why? The seam runs right through the center of the crotch, with NO padding. This made them both excruciatingly uncomfortable and created embarrassing 'camel toe'. Yuck. What a careless oversight, BodyGlove. I went with the Smoothies Bikini Bottom instead and am perfectly happy with it, though it would be nice to have a bathing suit bottom that allowed me to skip the occasional bikini wax.

These bottoms look amazing on, but are completely and totally see through when wet! Also, the drawstring does not go all the way around the waistband, so it doesn't actually tighten for water sports, etc.
