The design is lovely, but the pants have no elastic round the back or front. So if the ties aren’t tied super tight, the material just flaps about. So unless you’re going for a full wax, the front just hangs open. One jump in the pool and you’re done for. I took them off, double knotted the side ties at the tightest and squeezed into them. The only way not to put on a show some people pay money for.
