I got this for wearing to the beach and waterpark as I have lipedema and previous muscle injury that makes me self conscious and its worst in my upper thighs.. so many lumps and bumps these days lol. It offers me a little extra coverage where I want it most without being restrictive or making me fee...l too covered up or hot. I love that its the same material as the rest of my swim suit so I can wear it in and out of the water without it taking forever to dry! Plus it looks cute on me 🤷‍♀️ win win win in my books. I'm a 16/18 in old navy and got the "L" which is a L/XL and it fits with a bit of room to spare, at least where I tie it. I'd highly recommend this to anyone that wants a short little sarong for running around the beach/pool or those like me that want to cover the tops of their thighs/bum or to help camouflage a fupa/apron belly. I may buy more honestly!
