Really the only differentiation between girls board shorts and women’s board shorts is probably size and style.  I have mentioned about all the attributes on the home page as to why I prefer women’s board shorts over your typical two piece bathing suit.

Let me talk a little about size and comfort.   Women’s swim shorts need to fit comfortably and snuggly.  Not like men where they can have them practically hanging off their butts. Women need to be more cautious at the beach, or you will find yourself on the next episode of America’s funniest home videos.

When shopping for women’s board shorts be sure to know what size you will become summer.  How many times have you went out to buy a pair of women’s long board shorts only to say to yourself well I’m going to get to a size 7 by summer, so I will go with the smaller size.  What happens next?  You back into Pacsun or Dillard’s exchanging for the larger size.

As women we  are blessed with the two things bigger hips and a since of fashion.  This really does become  a detriment while shopping..doesn’t it?  Be honest with yourself when buying any clothing especially women’s board shorts.  We put too much pressure on ourselves to lose weight and get ready for summer.  Not to mention when are all the good sales?  Yep, you guessed it, in the winter when we are all 10lbs heavier.  Another thing to keep in mind is they do make women’s plus size board shorts, you can find them in just about any retail store.  I believe women’s billabong board shorts and Roxy women’s board shorts both come in plus size options.  If you can’t find the larger short’s at the retail store than shopping online is the best place to look.

I know me writing about this might be a bit odd, but I have done this several times and wanted to give you some insight that I feel will help with your next purchase of women’s  board shorts or even a regular swimsuit for that matter. I know this happens a lot for weddings too! The bride goes out wanting to lose weight before the wedding and get’s a smaller dress.  Stress will only make it more difficult to lose weight…trust me.

I go through it ever year wear I know summer is coming and the first thing I do is buy a smaller size item just to motivate me in to losing some weight.  Be honest with yourself stick to your workout and diet regimen and then go out and buy yourself a pair of women’s board shorts.  Look at it as a reward for losing the weight as opposed to a motivator to lose the weight.
