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.

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.

They wouldn't look good with a skirt. I'm 5'9 with 31 waist and 40 hips and I got M. They fit fine, however i would prefer if they were tighter around the waist.

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.

I found that they fit comfortably, not too snug or too loose. The arms are rubber so they can be warmed and bent in. They don't slip down because of the rubber nose piece.

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.

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

I love the way these pants fit. I have a bum (not that big) but it makes it look good and I do have hips - it just fits right. A slightly bit big on the waist because of my hips, but they just fit right. I am just average weight - so I am not sure how it will fit a skinny person nor a very heavy person.

They're supposed to, but I found the fit to be awkward and not ideal. They did fit nicer once my daughter was over 10 or 11 lbs. that's when I really used them.

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.

If I remember correctly (it's been a while) they are your waist size. there is a good bit of stretch in them so you have some wiggle room in the size. I can wear mine either around my waist or lower down on my hips (which I think is more comfortable).

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.

They feel natural and soft. I have the 42D girl narrow size and they weigh about 5 pounds total. I have two pair. They are delicate and will split if dropped or badly mishandled. I wear them with regular bras and I do not tape them to my body.

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 bought a pair a medium for my 42 inch waist hubby and they fit snugly but not too snugly. so I would guess a medium for you? hope this helps.

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.
