My favorite pants other than the waistband
"For reference, I'm about 123 lbs with a 29-inch waist, 38-inch hips, and a 33-inch measurement at the widest part of my belly, which is right where the waistband of these shorts sits. I ordered a size small, and the fit is great. I'm very sensory-sensitive when it comes to waistbands. The waistband is about 6 cm wide, but the elastic is only 2 cm wide and is sewn into the very top of the waistband. I would have liked for the elastic to extend through the full 6 cm so the pressure was distributed more evenly instead of cutting into my stomach. This is the same with the waistband on the the Women's 100% Organic Cotton Lounge Shorts. They are long, as others have said but I just roll them up and love them."
