These pants are made from the softest material I've ever felt. It is also comfortable to wear. The belt stays in place and there's a drawcord just in case. I recently purchased flannel pants which are soft, warm and comfortable but create enough static on my legs that I could light up a small space. (Half a joke.) They have little pockets for . . .

If you plan on wearing them in public, don't. Or at least in underwear. Better yet, change into a pair of proper pants. Why? Your . . . You know. . . becomes quite obvious. Not just a bump or a slight bulge, but a fairly detailed outline. That being said, like lounge pants, these bottoms are tops.
