| 9. Would a belt help? Or, suspenders? |

If they're the athletic shorts, would those with a drawstring help?
Your son has my sympathies. I'm female and 50 years old. All the shorts they make for women are these skimpy things with 4" inseams. I want something that covers my fat thighs, but such shorts are difficult to come by. They hardly make shorts for women that hang to the knees. The clothing designers think we're all skinny, little 15 year olds. And, to make matters worse, I have a small, high waist and huge hips. So, I often have the "hanging below the butt" problem, too. A belt helps keeps my shorts and pants where they belong.

I wear men's Speedo shorts. I guess they are trunks since they have a mesh inside. |
