Where can I get boyshort style pants with decent arse coverage?

Twice now I've bought boyshorts pants only to find they look fine from the front but don't have enough coverage at the back (if I pull them down so they are on the top of my thigh like they are at the front I have builders cleavage!) What I'm after are a pair of pants that go onto the thigh at the front and the back like those in the pics (which unfortunately aren't the same pairSad), and although not up to the waist I do want them to go up to the hips at the back. Trouble is many advertised only show what they're like from the front so there's no way of knowing what the arse coverage is like.
Any recommendations please?

I bought some in Uniqlo the other day that come down onto the thigh at both the back and the front - they're styled like boxers though with a pointless button fly effect thing on the front. I figured it was worth the trade off though.

I find this infuriating too. Why would one be buying boy shorts if not to cover the arse area? I'm not worried about the front, as long as the business bit's covered. The best ones I found were from Seafolly last year, bought on the Surfdome website. They have a rather good fold-down waistband too. The drawback was that they cost around £35.

Sorry, just realised you're talking abouts pants rather than bikini bottoms. I'll bow out.

Those Bjorn Borg ones have great coverage, thanks NoArmaniNoPunani and I like their 3 pack basics for £30 (didn't really want to spend more than £5 £10 a pair so they are perfect, and the logo/wording isn't as prominent on those too).

Thanks Sudo. They're ideal but I'm not sure I like the patterns. But I'll bookmark them and keep an eye out for their new ones.

No probs Algorta, thanks anyway.
