I just can't stand things pressing on my tummy, and I don't even have a gut. I know a lot of women prefer high rise but I can't stand them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-are-high-rise-pants-so-uncomfortable#post-620366 Tue, 15 May 2012 16:59:09 +0000 christieanne 620366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have such a short torso area that even mid rise on other people comes up to my belly button. A little stretch fabric is a good thing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-are-high-rise-pants-so-uncomfortable#post-620361 Tue, 15 May 2012 16:55:42 +0000 Diana 620361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It might just be your bone structure, and not your belly at all. I have a hard time with true high waisted pants and even wide belts at my natural waist because I am so short waisted that my rib cage and hip bone are really close together. And I slouch too which makes it worse. I have like maybe a 1.5" sweet spot where no bones get squashed by a waistband. So anything really high waisted (like Claire describes) tends to crush my rib cage which is extremely uncomfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-are-high-rise-pants-so-uncomfortable#post-620354 Tue, 15 May 2012 16:43:37 +0000 rae 620354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe try an extra high rise, that goes up over the natural waist, like Claire mentioned? I think that would distribute pressure to a different part of your body and maybe make them more comfy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-are-high-rise-pants-so-uncomfortable#post-620340 Tue, 15 May 2012 16:32:57 +0000 JennyAnne 620340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know what you mean. Even "regular" rise, around the belly button feels really weird now. But it can do wonders to pull in that tummy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-are-high-rise-pants-so-uncomfortable#post-620326 Tue, 15 May 2012 16:09:45 +0000 K. Period. 620326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stretch fabrics are wonder fabrics for some things. Those high waists are so uncomfortable and it's all because of basic anatomy right? Our middles are flexible bags made out of muscle in which our organs slosh around! I was totally reminded of this recently when I bought a pair of non-stretch jeans. Wow, they are not nearly as comfortable as stretch jeans. They do have the benefit of staying in place so that I'm not constantly hoiking my pants up by the belt loops, but you really feel the restriction when you sit or bend over. </p> <p>I know I'm way more conscious of this since having my babes--the stretching your abdominal muscles get then and the weeks/months/years as those muscles slowly regain their tone are pretty revealing. Dragging around that post-baby belly that looks like you are still 5 months pregnant right after having the baby really shows you a lot about how your body is made. </p> <p>No question--no high waists for me that aren't stretch fabrics! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-are-high-rise-pants-so-uncomfortable#post-620309 Tue, 15 May 2012 15:38:49 +0000 ramya 620309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks claire, yes IK we were talkin abt the same </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-are-high-rise-pants-so-uncomfortable#post-620289 Tue, 15 May 2012 15:11:27 +0000 Anonymous 620289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>IK, they must be talking about the new exaggerated high-rise pants whose waist actually fits on/above the waist, like a cumberbund or obi belt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-are-high-rise-pants-so-uncomfortable#post-620230 Tue, 15 May 2012 13:47:32 +0000 ironkurtin 620230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How high a rise are we talking? Typically "high rise" these days ends right below the navel.. the days of hitting a natural waist seem to be long gone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-are-high-rise-pants-so-uncomfortable#post-620136 Tue, 15 May 2012 10:04:31 +0000 fashionista 620136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha ha </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-are-high-rise-pants-so-uncomfortable#post-620134 Tue, 15 May 2012 10:02:24 +0000 Lyn D. 620134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Still- at least in high rise when you look down your tummy isn't hanging over the top of the waist-band like some weird extra set of boobs!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-are-high-rise-pants-so-uncomfortable#post-620133 Tue, 15 May 2012 09:59:53 +0000 fashionista 620133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeh I kinda feel the same. But with being habituated to low raise for so many years, high rise now feels like something is sticking to my tummy and diphagram. The uneasiness in the tummy area is so unbearable for me sometimes that I can't wait to reach home and throw them away. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-are-high-rise-pants-so-uncomfortable#post-620115 Tue, 15 May 2012 09:38:59 +0000 ramya 620115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know I am ranting here...<br /> but then, I have short limbs and like high rise pants.<br /> But the ones I fit into have a weird problem, when I sit down I feel like some one is squeezing air of me...<br /> (Thank you paunch)<br /> Though I donot have lots of belly fat but my tummy is slightly rounded...</p> <p>Huh poor poor me </p>
