I chose the rating for one simple reason....
 -A fake draw string??? I mean really? I guess I'll not jump into a pool headfirst unless the hotel pool occupants want to see my privates.

The seller needs to be honest and straight-forward on stating clearly "The drawstring is for decoration and does not actually tighten the pants."

I am very disappointed and I do not recommend these to anyone. I will have to have them altered.
