I have an illness that is collagen based and my intestinal tissue cannot tolerate me wearing my beloved jeans anymore.  I still missed wearing them and would try and then would change or regret it.  I decided to try these to see if the pressure was relieved enough I could wear them and they are perfect.  I hardly wanted to take them off.  I had resorted to wearing lounge pants with everything, now I can wear jeans.  I still have a little trouble with them sliding down throughout the day, but just a little and the comfort was so great, I forgot I was wearing them and curled up on the couch without my normal pjs, so a win for me.
