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.

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.

These are not worn on the waist but on the hips. The last notch on this belt is at 36" I have a 34 inch waist and this belt fits me comfortably with several sets of notches left to tighten and even more left for expansion. However, if I could find them I would buy suspenders that I believe would be more comfortable. There are none on Amazon that are long enough to hang this belt on an average sized person. SO far all have been much too short. A lot of mass.

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.

They are kinda in between, I would have to say, according to the feedback from my mother. She loves the fact that they do not "squeeze" her legs while providing just the right amount of pressure and comfort.

If you are a large person, these are not such a good fit because they lean forward slightly making them uncomfortable to sit back and relax. If you are a normal sized or skinny person, these will be a perfect fit. Hope this helps!

No, they fit right below natural waistline. I love these pants/shorts, although I did listen to previous reviews and ordered 2 sizes up.

*Yes, they fit but they are not snug. They are a little baggy, but not enough to slide off the seat. I guess you get what you pay for...

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 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.

Hi there, I would say they fit/sit just marginally below the waist... very comfortable shorts.

Well, if you have wide thighs they might be tight. I have wide thighs and a large still felt tight. If you're thinner with smaller hips you should be alright

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

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 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.

They are longer and more fitted as they hug the leg about 4" above the knee. Yes I would say they are more conservative. I use them for jet skiing and love them. They eliminate sliding around on the seat and protect the thighs from pinching when riding over waves. Hope this helps.
