Do these fit at the natural waist or are they "hip huggers"? Its hard to tell from the photos

They are not hip huggers- I ordered two of these shorts an XL and XXL. I am 5'3" and weigh approx. 212lb. I have only worn the XL, and it fits big. I didn't even bother opening the XXL. I put it away planning to wear during next pregnancy. They do go past my waist. So no, I did not find these shorts to be hip huggers.

I am 5'4" and 110 pounds with shortish legs. I got the smallest size and they fit me almost perfectly, just a half inch long. There's enough room in the waist that I think they would fit you fine that way. The zip off part is just above my knee. You may have get them shortened a few inches, but they should fit okay.

I know exactly what you mean. Because these hug the undergarment, they fit much better, and are flexible. They are softer than other commercial products and are far less irritating. Quite honestly, I find these are the best item for it's type out there.

They fit right below the natural waist. They allow you to walk bend and sit without dropping low. I'm in my sixties and find them both comfortable and modest.

I believe they are meant to go right on the skin which is how i wear them and they work great that way, no shifting around at all. They work with the warmth of your skin. There is no padding, they are jelly like.

Yes, they're not "fitted" and don't have seams down the sides like some (including Under Armour) fitted shirts. They're not too loose either - a great fit in my opinion. I'm 5'11" and 160 and size Large is a nice comfortable fit for me, but not skin tight.

They are a little "stretchy" but no traditional elastic waist band. Hope this helps.

Only if ur wearing stretchy pants, not jeans, because of the fit of the pants... They are fitted at waist.

These set on the waist you could push them down on the hips. They are nice and streachy so you could do what you want. Hope that helps, Helen West

Yes, there are elastic sections around the waist. But, if you wear a belt, which is not really necessary, it gives a more "dressed" or "finished" look. My only squawk about them is that the pockets are not as large or deep as another brand I have. They are also cut a little bit trimmer than my other ones probably to give a more stylish, less utilitarian look. Still, they are terrific for the price.

I'm 5'2 and it comes to my waist. They are standard size. Don't doubt the buy. They are all that and more!

Mine are snug, especially when they are new. If you enlarge the middles picture for this item, it will show you the size chart on the back of the package. That is how I was fitted at a medical supply store before I ever purchased any online.

They are a bit snug on the waist. I would go a size up. I am a 32 and went with medium. Should have gone with a large but the medium is wearable.

You don't "feel" them exactly - if they fit right you forget they are on. What you should notice is that your swelling is under control at the end of the day and/or your legs do not ache. HTH! As far as sizing, they sizing charts they provide seem correct to me.

They are more of a slim fit (depending on body build), but not trimmed cut. If you are looking for loose fit, try a different model. Hope this is useful.

I've found those fitting higher up on the "waist" are better. I tried several brands before I found one that worked. All of them seem to run small so I'm not surprised to hear you're having troubles with an extra small. Good luck.

they are elastic on the edges so they should fit small to large with no problem.
