I love the material and the length since I'm tall but I guess the extra little post baby girth I still have on my middle doesn't work well with the thick 3 inch elastic band on the waist of these pants.  When I sit the band folds over on itself and it's very uncomfortable.  I tried to cut the band out and just use the tie at the waist but the band is stitched at multiple areas and impossible to remove.  So if you are tall and slim these are perfect for you.
