What store would you recommend for a good selection of 'boyshort' swimsuit bottoms (not expensive)?

Well, sseamom, I suspect that since the OP is into rafting (as she indicated on one of her other threads) she might want something more durable than stuff designed for lounging on the beach. :slight_smile: Fabric quality and fit matters greatly when you move your body. Some fabrics stretch really badly when they get wet - not good for active butts. :slight_smile: That’s why I recommended things I know would provide great coverage and comfort.

I am not dismissing Target’s swimwear - its fabric is pretty durable, and I have a few of their auits. It is just Target doesn’t always stock boyshorts in their physical stores, so OP might be wasting her time going there.

I would just order a few online making sure they are returnable.

OP here! Just to respond to a few things - yes, $40+ is a little too pricey for me, but Athleta turned out to have exactly what I was looking for at that price: http://athleta.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=983914062&vid=1&locale=en_US&kwid=1&sem=false&sdReferer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.athleta.com%2Fproducts%2Fshort-bikini-bottoms.jsp

I tried them on in in store, and it was definitely what I was looking for.

I don’t need them for a little while, so my strategy is to wait for a sale or find a good online coupon.
