    haha!!! Those pictures are great!! I agree with another poster in that I spend $$ on my jeans. My favorite jeans are either Big Star, Miss Me's or Silvers. Even though I'm a mom to 3 little ones you won't ever catch me wearing jeans like in those pictures!

    Jeans are so hard for me. I have a small little waist and am pretty hippy. The 'just below waist' jeans fit be perfectly so they don't have that gross gap in the back or having to worry that my butt is flapping in the breeze.... but you know how hard that is to find without creating the big, flat mom butt??? Ahhhhhhhh I hate jeans shopping.

    I also have a small waist and I am hippy too, but I found the Not Your Daughter's Jean (NYDJ) fit pretty good, specially the straight leg design, they seat at the natural waist., and they don't create that flat mom's butt.

    They are not cheap, but worth the expense.

    Pajama Jeans. Everyone's seen those infomercials, right?
    Stay away from those.

    My problem is that I have slim thighs and a wider waist. So I either have to buy jeans that fit my waist and drown my thighs, or buy jeans that fit my thighs but are tight on top.

    As a result, I can pretty much only wear skinny jeans now.

    Wow, what an interesting article. As a man, I had always wondered how long butt happened. It didn't seem possible that the butt somehow grew six or more inches in length after you had a kid or hit 35 or something.

    This gives me hope for the future.

    Guess I'm just stuck with "mom jeans" then.:tongue:

    I can't stand the ginormous gap on the lower back on those low waist pants. (I have a LOT of junk in the trunk and a smaller waist which creates a HUGE gap... can't afford to have them tailored and doing it myself would yield silly looking results.. Lmao!!!) The pockets ending below the butt bother the hell outta me and are quickly set aside in the fitting room. Boot leg cut.... Yuck!!!

    I'm just cursed forever... Lmao!!!!!!:laugh: :laugh:

    Bootleg cut is my favorite! It's what looks best on me.

    LOL!

    I love Express jeans. Only skinny jeans fit me good, I have long legs and a really short torso. Old Navy jeans give me the mom butt.

    Personally, I hate too-low back pockets. I think the pocket should highlight and accentuate the curve of the *kitten*. Not like the mom-jeans, though.
