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.

They are conservative, I paddle with two men and they love them. I am a size 12 women and I got med. I should have gotten small.

Yes, they are very natural looking. As long as you shape & fit them correctly, which is quite simple by the way, they're a keeper.

As a female I measured my hips around the largest area. Pants are quite forgiving and you will want them to come to your belly button or above.

they are pretty much skin tight. Not uncomfortable tight but snug. They are very comfortable both for running and yoga. The do not ride up at all. I guess the stretchy fabric make them seem skin tight but actually be very comfortable. Hope this helps.

They can bve made to fit snugly. There is flexibility and the center piece has a small plastic piupe you use to tuck in the seat portion. It works really well. You may want to secure the cushions if they are not fastened so they don't shift, but other than that, therse are great seat covers.

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.

For me, they are a relaxed true size. I ordered the size for my actual measurements and it's a soft fit. Not stretched tight anywhere. Just a smidge loose for maximal warmth.

Bill, They fit skin tight. I learned a trick on you tube for them. Bring your saddle bags in the house. Use a hair dryer to get the covers good and warm and they will stretch right over and when they cool they are nice and tight. Hioe this helps... Stay in the wind bro

They do fit below the waist, not super low though. I think it's a nice comfortable fit.

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.

The waist line sits just above my hips. I wear them to Muay Thai and Krav Maga three - five times per week. I have full range of motion in them.

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 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.

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.

These pants are great. They sit at the waist and they have an elastic waist band. They run a little long. I'm 5'3" and had to hem them an inch. I'm also 63yrs. old so I understand about low rise pants and don't wear them myself. Hope this helped! Zumba on!!!

I would call the fit a boyfriend kind of fit, but maybe a bit higher wasted. They aren't restrictive but they aren't baggy. They fit like my favorite jeans of my husband's to steal.
