These jeans are comfortable and look great on - not like you'd think "pull-on" jeans would look!  I haven't washed them yet so I'm not sure whether they can be dried in the dryer or just hung up to dry like "regular" jeans!  They're a little bit long for me (I'm not quite 5'6" anymore) so I wouldn't mind if they shrunk a tad.  I did what other reviewers recommended and bought a size smaller (an 8 instead of a 10) and they're perfect.  One more thing - they're not a true black, more of a charcoal, which is fine with me but some people might be disappointed with the color.
