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 would say yes. They have a little elastic in the waist and the legs are open a bit ore for ease of movement. I wear the same size in these as I do in many other brands of pants.

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.

I believe it is the waist. They fit really tight but I think that is the point tighten and straighten

I do not know the answer outright but... they are "adjustable".You should be able to see the 'human fit' data somewhere on Amazon's page or by going directly to the manufacturer's page for which there should be a link (on Amazon's page). :-)

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

They run pretty true, but they have elastic on the sides. They will be a little loose. If your waist size stays consistent that should help.

They have a drawstring. The elastic waistband is pretty strong, so the drawstring really isn't necessary.

I apologize for taking this long to answer your question. My phone been disconnected so I was not able to check my email. I gave birth a long time ago,so I'm just trying to get the tummy somewhat back in shape. The truth is I have not really try it at work as yet. They are pretty tight which if good. I want yo use them when I workout. Hoping to see some results. Have you bought yours?

They should not be to loose either. If your legs are thick then XXL but then waist might be to big. See my other note.

That will be hard for me to answer. I have a 30" waist but I wear this support around my hip/low back area. I have a large just for that reason. They have double Velcro so it will pull nice and tight. These work great for my back!Hope this helps as much as possible.

I am 5'6 and 165 and the medium fit me fine. They feel like a second skin and are great to work out in. The waist is just below my belly button and the hem ends at the bottom of my knee.

I would say they wearing your usual size. They've long enough for tall men and they stretch well so order size according to whether you want a body hugging or looser fit.

The are flat front not pleaded. I think they are more classic not straight. They give your thighs breathing room, and the do not tapper at the ankles. I'm 46 and not buying anything straight fit. I hope this helps

It's a V going down so doesn't adjust around the waist. So no real size issues I sell a TON of these to contractors. They find them a little short sometimes if they are tall. But otherwise, all different people wear them! Hope that helps!

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.

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.
