beaners Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 See, that's what I assumed was meant by "over." I don't want my pants riding right under my ribcage 0_o but I don't want any kind of low-rider pants. Anything that is actually *below* my naval is low-rider. Belly buttons really are in different places on different people! My 4" from my belly button to pants would be obscene on someone else, but my belly button is even with my floating ribs.

LaxMom Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Under. I'm another one who has about an inch between hip and rib (I'm 5' even), so "natural waist", even in petites ", would fasten somewhere mid-ribcage. Blech. If I am wearing a shirt that poses risk of ride-up (and, thus, plumber's crack), I use my handy dandy haramaki and close that gap decoratively.

sleepymommy Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I voted under, but wish my pants fit me over the bellybutton or at least at my bellybutton. I have a long torso, am petite, am apple shaped and have straight hips, so finding a higher waisted pant is pretty impossible. I've even gone out and spent $$$ on some so-called "high-waisted" premium denim and that also came under my bellybutton! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justLisa Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Under. WAY under. I buy jeans that are cut low in the front and higher in the back. The front sits just at/below my hip bones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkInTheBlue Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 My waist is pretty high so even if they aren't "low" pants they almost always are under for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissKNG Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 My jeans, pants, windpants, any pants are always hip hugging! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hwin Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Depends on the style, there are some dress slacks of mine that reach my navel, but I don't think it's possible to find jeans that go that high, is it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraidycat Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Under. I like mid-rise. I HATE the ones that you can only wear standing up because butt cleavage happens when you sit, but I don't like them at, or above the belly button, either.

justamouse Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Well? What's the verdict, did we help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swellmomma Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Well I buy them to go across my belly button BUT I have a horrible "mother's apron" from my pregnancies and the frst section. SO they seldom stay there and then I spend the day pulling them back up. None have belt loops(I only own 3 pairs of pants) so no belt to hold them where I like.

If you are short and fat it is. I only have jeans (the 3 pairs I mentioned above) and they all go right across my belly button. Any lower and I can't keep them on. Any higher and I feel like I am wearing a corset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reya Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I'm pregnant right now. Depends on how the pants are made! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
