Fish Embroidered Navy Swim Shorts (0-5 Yrs)

I was pleased to see these come with an inner brief-shaped lining for increasing nappy protection since that pool requirement is the only reason for a baby to wear this style of swimsuit (as opposed to one with a top/limb coverage/etc. The material is very pleasant to hand, a really lovely texture, and the embroidery is cute. The embroidery is a little coarser than I expected but by no means rough, just a thicker thread and less dense image. My only gripe with these is that the waist cord is quite bulky and difficult to use. I can't really get it tied tight enough to be functional rather than just for fashion, which is annoying, because the elastic in the waistband is a good tightness for comfort & staying up when pulling on but not tight enough to stay above the level of the swim nappy when coupled with the positioning on rotund baby belly. I also have to tie the waistband in a double knot as it's not wieldy enough to do a bow. All in all, my only real complaint is that these don't fully cover the swim nappy, which made a surprising difference in how cute they look on the baby. I didn't expect it to take away as much visually as it does.
