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.

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.

Hey Steve - I'm a 33 waist and I bought a large. They fit tight, but they are supposed to. You just have to get used to wearing a second set of skin - HA! I love mine.

I ordered a size up and the waist was a little big, especially as I began to wear them more. They stetched somewhat. They still fit, but I definitely need a belt. If I had the chance to order again, I would go with the normal size (knowing they would be a little tight at first). Hope that helps!

for me they were a little closer to the lg size. they fit well, but still a tad bit big enough as to not cut off your circulation.

Hey Jeff, I am about a 30 waist in most jeans and the mediums fit me nicely. I can just get away with not needing a belt. What sold me on these was the leg room at the knees. They aren't baggy, but do really like room to move around in and not feel constricted. Hope this helps!

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!

They're a very specific fit. The person needs to try them on. I like them fitting snug, but that's because I want to feel what I'm searching for. They might want them a bit looser.

Mine are a little shorter than I usually like. They stop right at the knees and I would like them to go just a little past. But since they are really meant to be tactical it makes sense that they would allow for better running and such. I think the length is proportional to the waist number.

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.

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). :-)

I have a pair (hubby bought one and then I did) and with "women's hips", there was plenty of room. And hubby has a big belly and they were fine for him. We also wear heavy clothing under them and still have room.

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

There is a drawstring to adjust to fit your waist. I've been wearing for the past 2 years, and I have never had a problem with them falling down or not fitting well.

I think they are really thin. It's a good choice if you want a natural one.

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.
