Okay, so I was skeptical at first because my son has SUCH sensitive skin. Every summer it's the same story - rashes from those awful mesh-lined swim trunks. But these? TOTAL game changer.

The compression liner is SO much better than mesh. My kid actually wants to wear them (miracle alert!). We've taken them to the pool, beach, even water parks - no irritation at all.

Size tip: They run slightly big. My 10-year-old is pretty average size and the 8-10 fits perfectly with room to grow. The adjustable drawstring helps too.

Bonus points for the pockets! Kid can stash his pool toys or seashells. The patterns are cute without being babyish - we got the blue shark print and he loves it.

After years of cutting out mesh linings (anyone else been there?), these are worth every penny. Already ordered two more for rotation!
