Is the waste band on these shorts elastic, or do they have a draw string that you can use to tighten the shorts around your waste?

It has a elastic waste band plus a draw string . It fits very well I normally do not have to use the draw string.

Yes, and yes: The waist is elastic, and there is a draw string. Currently I don't bother tying the drawstring, because the elastic does a good job, but once they're old and the elastic is degraded, I bet the draw string will be a Good Thing!

There's no elastic. They held in pretty well for the first few weeks but after pulling the markers in and out for awhile the pockets have loosened and they can fall out if you're not careful (they only fall out if the case is open) But the whole pocket is just plastic with a canvas border. No elastic.

Hello again Sandra. My caregiver just recalled it has an elastic band and not velcro. Sorry for the misinformation.

There is a band of elastic, but it's only at the outer end of the fabric. The elastic material does not cover the full sides, as I've seen with other mattress pads. The mattress pad fits well around my mattress (my mattress is not thick, so the elastic part is underneath), but it is more loose/baggy on the sides than with my previous (non organic, cheap) mattress pad. Nothing that bothers me, though.

No, but there are elastic insets on the sides which help the shorts to fit well without looking at all like an elastic waistband.

There is a drawstring on the waste. You want them a little large, if you are going to be active in the field. They also have pockets in the knees for pads. If you just want to wear them for fashion, forget about it.

Fabric is not stretchy, but the waistband has some stretchy material added to is. Fabric is like a canvas of sorts......I love these 5.11 shorts. You won't be dispppointed

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.

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.

No, they are so NOT...there is no draw string and they are not thick. Disappointment. I shouldn't have been so cheap.

There is no elastic on these Suspenders. The only negative comment is that the device pocket is slightly small. Iphone fits but is tight. I have to remove my phone from its protective case to insert in the Suspendes pocket.

No, it's a work out band used strictly to activate sweat and heat in the waist line. I have lost inches with it. I use it coupled with a trash bag or Saran Wrap to create maximum sweat. I can only say it works for me. I'm working to lose the inches and keep them off healthily.

The machine doesn't use elastic bands. I grip the black strip at the top of the back rest & then use my muscles for the pull-ups. I also turn on my sides & do 50 crunches each.Thanks for asking.

The band does not have elastic. 17" from end to end. Would not fit around the thigh.

Yes, very comfortable liner, I use these shorts as a swimsuit, to sleep in, and daily running. Only downside is that it only has a drawstring that can't time, it broke after 2 months of use. Still stay on with elastic and have a key sleeve in the front left hip. GREAT SHORTS!

No, Lynn. They look like the original women's menstruation pads before the industry made so many sizes. Same thickness. You pull off paper and the underneath sticks to men's jockey shorts. Boxer shorts will not work. Using both the regular Depend pullups and the pad would be quite bulky. I think the pullups remind a man of diapers. It is bad enough that you have this kind of problem, but I think the stick on pad is more dignified, and you don't notice the pad when the man wears jockey shorts. I would bet a woman could wear this also but at a different location.

It's stretchy! Has an elastic band. I have a rectangular garbage can that I use and it fits great.
