I need nice swimwear for a holiday, I have thick dark hair, which although fine on my head, creates havoc bikini wise.
Are there nice beach/pool shorts I can buy so I don't have to shave every day?
That wouldn't be a problem ordinarily, but I am usually left with a shaving rash which wouldn't be attractive.
Please don't say get a wax, it's not happening.
The only things I seem to be able to find are very sporty speedo type all in ones with a long leg and that's not really what I'm after.

I have this problem and have ordered the Boden boyleg swimsuit. They also have some nice bikinis and tankini's with little shorts which I am pondering (although I think I'm too old for a bikini) Sad

I saw www.swimwear365.co.uk/ advertised on the TV today. They have loads of different styles.

Bord shorts vary from long and practical to short amd sexy. Several possibilities here if you have the sort of skin that tans and can get away with a plain black, brown or white bikini.

I can't and have a pair of turquoise flowered ones that I pull on over a navy swim suite, lovely for walking back damp from the beach when salt and stubble are a bad mix.
