My biggest downfall, is being so little, and in between girls and womens sizes. In most cases, the size in general is correct, but they always make the waist, so tight. I have tried several joggers, with the tie.which seem to be very tight when it comes to the elastic band. I found these and decided to purchase, in hopes the no tie factor would be better! Let's just say, I would wear these everyday, if I could! The softness, and comfort level, are exaxtly what I was looking for! Great for many uSee full review
