Are there not that many women like me who prefer swimsuits with shorts style coverage on the bottom?

I love boy shorts and swim skirts. I take care of myself but am curvy and like to move around without feeling like I’m about to flash everyone.


I don’t like to show my pubic hair and I have an enormous bush. So if I don’t want to shave my bikini line (and I almost never want to), shorts are necessary.


A bush? No waxing?How old are you

That’s what I dress like at the pool or beach.

OP here. When you wax the hair grows back and it is visible for a bit while it grows long enough to wax again. Typical bathing suits are fundamentally inconvenient for a large percentage of women. If you don't wear a swimsuit that often it's NBD. But we plan to be hanging out a lot at the pool this summer. I have other things to do. Perfectly timing my bikini waxes will not be my priority.

they aren't shorts, then, or their public hair is like 4" long?


They were wearing those short Nike pro type shorts over their bathing suit and yes, it was hanging down. I don’t know how long it was. I didn’t whip without my ruler, lol but I cannot believe it happened more than once.

DP and this is me, too. I wax my bikini line regularly, but there’s not much to be done about the regrowth period besides wear shorts. I have pale skin and dark hair, so it’s definitely noticeable, and I refuse to shave that area because of the itch/razorburn factor. If laser hair removal was in my budget, I’d totally do that!

Obv only do if you want to - but I got one of those Braun IPL devices to use on my bikini line (have brown hair, light skin, and fast-growing hair that gets ingrown easily). It's worked so much better than I expected. I've been using it - a lot at first, now occasionally - for maybe six months. Anyway, those are like $350 and I think worth the $.

I wear these and love them.

Both? (Not OP but another person who prefers shorts) You say this like I’m not aware my crotch fails to meet societal beauty standards — I’m intentionally covering it up because I know it doesn’t and I just want to have a pleasant day at the pool not gross out judgy people or make a statement or whatever.

I tried one and it totally didn’t work for me even though I have very pale skin and dark hair. It worked okay on my calves.

Same here.

Agree it’s a double standard. I see zero guys at the beach or pool showing us their butt cheeks.

The more suspicious moles I have removed, the longer my shorts get. I now have swim capris.

Omg! I had no idea that people didn’t trim. I know that not everyone likes to shave but I thought everyone trimmed at least with scissors.

Nope (DP).

Trimming doesn’t help if your hair grows outside the panty line, which for most women, it does.
