Very comfy for the price. Thin material, but I wear these to work with tunics, so I don't usually have to worry about my rear showing. They aren't tight around the waist at all. In fact, as the day goes on they stretch and will slide down a little if I break into a jog. But It's fine. Especially if I wear cotton underwear, that helps keep them from slipping. I wear these pretty much like leggings, so I don't need them to be perfect. I'm 5'2 and I wear them with danskos and the length is fine.
