But believe me when I say that those suckers are tied tightly! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-boy-short-bathing-suit-bottoms#post-766692 Tue, 07 May 2013 21:34:12 +0000 photojane 766692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know how you ladies swim in side-ties! I'm so paranoid they will come off! I really just prefer anything with lots of coverage. I don't really love looking like I'm in my underwear in public. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-boy-short-bathing-suit-bottoms#post-766685 Tue, 07 May 2013 21:30:44 +0000 red_seattle 766685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always liked them, but post baby, they're a necessity. My stretch marks from my pregnancy are all on my hips, so the more they're covered, they better. That said, I've been looking for MONTHS and haven't been able to find any. I'm going to look the places you guys suggested. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-boy-short-bathing-suit-bottoms#post-766679 Tue, 07 May 2013 21:28:00 +0000 JerricaBenton 766679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, not flattering on me! I like them on others though! I prefer side ties or just something narrower on the hips. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-boy-short-bathing-suit-bottoms#post-766674 Tue, 07 May 2013 21:26:45 +0000 honeybear 766674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I have a good pair from Target--Mossimo brand. I also like 'swim minis' (really short skirts with attached bikini bottoms). They have to fit really well and not have too much fabric, or else they look matronly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-boy-short-bathing-suit-bottoms#post-766635 Tue, 07 May 2013 21:03:07 +0000 DigAPony 766635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope--I have short legs and large thighs, so boy shorts make my legs look even shorter and wider. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-boy-short-bathing-suit-bottoms#post-766634 Tue, 07 May 2013 21:02:04 +0000 IRunForFun 766634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate them, they ride up and give me a wedgie, and they make my already short legs look even shorter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-boy-short-bathing-suit-bottoms#post-766630 Tue, 07 May 2013 21:00:54 +0000 PointeShoesTutus 766630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They usually end up riding up my behind so I'm not fan. I hate shopping for bathing suits with a passion even though I'm a shopaholic. Bathing suits are just torture! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-boy-short-bathing-suit-bottoms#post-766609 Tue, 07 May 2013 20:52:07 +0000 yin 766609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't like them. I feel like I have a wedgie every time I wear them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-boy-short-bathing-suit-bottoms#post-766587 Tue, 07 May 2013 20:43:21 +0000 blackbird 766587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, they look awful on me and emphasize my muffin top!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-boy-short-bathing-suit-bottoms#post-766584 Tue, 07 May 2013 20:40:04 +0000 immabeetoo 766584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like they should be easier to find! I'm in love with <a href="http://athleta.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=49939&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=906268002" rel="nofollow">http://athleta.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=49939&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=906268002</a> these, and just ordered a plain matching top from them... I wish they had these in plain colors, I'd buy more pairs and never wear anything else again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-boy-short-bathing-suit-bottoms#post-766583 Tue, 07 May 2013 20:39:50 +0000 Foodnerd81 766583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they make my thighs look really wide so no. I used to wear them in high school, for modesty and the above mentioned bikini line issue. Now I wear regular bikini bottoms-- not skimpy or low rider, but not boy shorts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-boy-short-bathing-suit-bottoms#post-766581 Tue, 07 May 2013 20:38:44 +0000 runsyellowlites 766581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: Yes! My bootay is much to big for anything else!</p> <p>I get mine from Academy! They usually have an assortment of colors so I'm able to easily match them to whatever tankini top I found elsewhere! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-boy-short-bathing-suit-bottoms#post-766577 Tue, 07 May 2013 20:36:53 +0000 Grace 766577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: Yes! For exactly that reason. Makes me feel mire secure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-boy-short-bathing-suit-bottoms#post-766573 Tue, 07 May 2013 20:34:41 +0000 Mrs. Pen 766573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes I like them! you're right that they're hard to find. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-boy-short-bathing-suit-bottoms#post-766572 Tue, 07 May 2013 20:33:34 +0000 MsLipGloss 766572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I much prefer tie-side bikini bottoms! I like them on others, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-boy-short-bathing-suit-bottoms#post-766532 Tue, 07 May 2013 20:13:44 +0000 Beebug 766532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have never in my bikini wearing life worn anything but boy-short bottoms! I love them, but would also love to wear a normal cut someday, but have awful, never looks nice bikini line. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-boy-short-bathing-suit-bottoms#post-766530 Tue, 07 May 2013 20:13:40 +0000 autumnlove 766530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I'm not a fan of boy shorts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-boy-short-bathing-suit-bottoms#post-766517 Tue, 07 May 2013 20:06:49 +0000 Boogs 766517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They are all I wear for a variety of reasons. They are super hard to find, but I was able to grab a plain black pair from Old Navy, so at least they go with a lot of tankini tops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-boy-short-bathing-suit-bottoms#post-766512 Tue, 07 May 2013 20:03:40 +0000 immabeetoo 766512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOVE boy short bottoms because I swear, 9 times out of 10 I look down and see some swatch of fuzz I missed (super dark hair, super pale skin). I'm too cheap to wax so boy-short bottoms save me.</p> <p>Why the heck are they so hard to find, anyways! </p>
