Ladies swim shorts

So I bought a pair of these... www.decathlon.co.uk/reva-swim-shorts-black-id_8332009.html?pup=r&gclid=CJ_whO3pi8wCFZcy0wodDcAIWA
But they are about 2 inches too short for my liking, does anyone know of somewhere that sells size 18 black swim shorts that are a tad longer than these but not knee length! I feel it is in humanities best interest that I keep my flabby bits under wraps when on holiday!

Planning to wear with some tankini tops.

What about board shorts? These are a bit looser and probably more comfortable?

I don't want to be dripping wet the whole time! I hate how men on holiday are soggy the whole time!

Have lost a fair bit of weight, so I know my legs are ok, just not when you take off the black opaque tights and reveal the saggy mess that is left behind!!!

The short board shorts do dry quickly though. If you are going somewhere really hot, wearing a lot of tight fitting lycra will make you feel hot and sweaty.

Short board shorts will make me look awful though. I'm after top of the thigh coverage.

these any good OP?

I have a pair and find them a good fit. Good length as well.

Looks like they only go up to a size 16 but I'd say they are biggish in size (they're supposed to be tight anyway).

These seem pretty short to me www.decathlon.co.uk/tini-nairobi-boardshorts-id_8360715.html

I will leave you alone now.

They look just right kidnapped, have ordered a pair in the largest size and hope to squeeze in! No real idea what size I am on the legs, I wear size 18 dresses most of the time, but I know I have large legs in comparison.
