There are days when you want to show off a little more skin, get sun on that spot you keep covering up with the long board shorts. It’s time to give that piece of leg some heat. But you still want to feel comfortable and yourself. These short swim shorts hug you like that favorite pair of briefs you wear to bed without riding up or showing a butt-cheek (or two). The solid white waist band sits below your belly button for comfort and style.

The Tomboier swim shorts are simple, straight forward and match any of our solid tops. They measure 10″ from waist band to hem on the side, with an inseam of 3.5″. The waist band measures 1 1/4″ on its own and is solid white. (based on a size M, measurements can vary depending on size) The body of the shorts come in our basic 5 colors. Pair them with any top and you’re ready to go.
When picking a size for you new Tomboier, we recommend you use our size chart for guidance. Our sizes aren’t exactly like other traditional clothing brand sizes. Caring for them is easy. Just wash in cold water and we recommend you flat dry them. The heat from the dryer debilitates the spandex threads over time which can lead to them losing stretch.

Followed the sizing chart guidelines and ordered an M, and what I received was like 1.5x my actual size. I’m ordering a S and hoping that fits closer. The diagram says to find the waist measurement somewhere between the waist and hips, but I recommend ignoring that and measuring your actual waistline.

I originally bought a medium and had to exchange for a small because it didn’t fit me (I also bought a Boi Short in the same size and had to exchange it too). I could probably get an XS, but the small fits well enough. The cut is very flattering, though I worry about it sliding off when I dive into the water.

Purchased the Tomboier and Swimee and I cant wait to wear both this Summer (never thought I’d say that about a bathing suit!) . Glad I read the reviews and sized down. I usually wear a large but the medium fits great, good construction and flattering fit.

I like these shorts a lot! I bought them a while back to go with my swimmee that I got at the same time and just tested them out today at the pool with my mom. They’re really comfortable and cute! My only complaint is that they tend to slip down my butt in the back when I’m swimming too fast, and when I folded the waistline over to try to fix it, it didn’t quite work. Still recommend these though!! Also Outplay helped me with sizing and they were incredibly supportive and helpful!! <3

Before anything, I do want to clarify: I love the Tomboier (I specifically got the Non-Binary one, but I’m posting here for more to see). My only issues with it are personal preference.
So, as someone who is AMAB, and as someone who has done 9 summers on a swim team, I do have two insights/nitpicks. Take them as you may, of course.
First, the back rise. I’m not adverse to showing skin, but I’m not keen on showing something between the cheeks. For me, it naturally likes to ride down a little, which usually ends up with me having to adjust it semi-frequently to prevent it from potentially exposing more. And I don’t have a big butt, so I imagine it’s a bit worse for those possessing a more pronounced posterior.
Second, the waistband. Now, I should clarify: I ordered a Large (I normally wear XLs for clothes), and it fits me well. But, given the back rise issue, I don’t think a simple elastic band is sufficient for the fit a Large gives me (though maybe it would be fine on me for a Medium, I don’t personally know). Most the swimsuits I would wear for competitions would have a string you could tie that would sit on the inside of the suit; this would prevent it from slipping down, but also make it so it would definitely fit your waist, and you wouldn’t have a string that messes with the look.
And, while not a point, I want to reiterate: I’m used to form-fitting swimsuits like this. And it fits well. Beautifully, even. The only major issue I see really stems from how I need to readjust it so much so I don’t feel like I might accidentally flash people. As someone who did competitive swimming, I wouldn’t use it at a competition, but it’s a great casual suit. I just have to remember to jump in feet-first rather than head-first…
