Does anyone else have this problem? I have to buy jeans 2 or 3 sizes larger so my butt fits in them. My waist is 29" and my butt is 43" . Hopefully that's the first to oh for me when I lose the weight lol. Are their any jeans out there for this problem.

    I don't have the problem you describe, but I need to let you know that the most problematic areas are generally the last to go. Also, much of how we are shaped just is, thus while we can lose weight and fat our general shape stays the same. So, when your waist gets down to 24, your behind might be 37. You never know, though.

    I have pretty narrow hips and a small butt, but my chest is a bit oversized. I have lost a lot of it but it certainly was the last to go.

    I pretty much have the same issue my waist is 28 and my hips are 43, I can fit a 12/14 and I have to take the waist up (sorry, I'm a seamstress), if you are done losing it might be worth the cost to have them altered - but beware sometimes when you get the waist to fit they might be really hard to get up over your butt! I had this problem, try using safety pins first and then you can see how they will work getting on and off.

    I have yet to actually find any jeans that actually work off the rack!

    You are not alone :indifferent:

    My hips are 42 and my waist is 26. I wear Lucky Brand jeans. They're expensive but they last a long time. 10 years and counting.

    My waist is 48 and my butt/hips are 52, and i just thought it was just women issue, but i did find something to help,
    1. buy pants that they are stretch jeans
    2 buy pants that they are boot cut,

    Its like when you buy boot cut pants there extra space for a women butt

    Just over a year ago around my bum was 40" and my waist was 33". To date I've lost about 7 inches off both measurements so I'm thinking you may always have this problem but you never know where the fats going to come off. Would low rise jeans help as they'd be wider to fit round the hips? Edited to say that I have to buy jeans with a bit of stretch otherwise they gape at the back and everyone can see more than I'd like them to when I sit down so could stretchy jeans be the answer? Some places have quite thick ones to hide lumps and bumps :)

    There's a couple companies that make curvy fit jeans, which help some. I know both Levi, Gap and Old Navy run lines.

    Liz Claiborne generally fits pretty well for women with curve-appeal :wink:

    I almost have the same problem. My waist is 29" and my butt is 41". Even if I don't wear my jeans around my waist but actually lower, most of them will fit on my thighs-butt while being too big on my waist. I find it easier to wear shorts that are vaguely big on my waist-back and a bit tight on my butt-thighs. It doesn't bother me too much, I have 2-3 pairs of shorts and I can wear them kind of comfortably. I always prefer to wear skirts for this reason though... I think they fit me best since I'm some kind of "hourglass" shape with big bum.

    I have read that PZI are really good for curves.

    ++ for Old Navy Sweetheart. I wore them yesterday with some boots and a tight turtleneck, and my butt looked SO fine!

    My issue are my thighs....I can wear a size 6 but my thighs keep it snug in that area so I move up a couple of sizes depending on the brand.

    I too have a hig butt and cannot lie...hehehe


    I have a 29/30 inch waist and 41 inch hips. I also have full thighs.
    I always get some with a nit of stretch, so I can wear the size that fits all over best.

    I love nine west, some tommy hilfiger, i just got some liz claiborn, and lucky.

    Sometimes Costco carries lucky and liz. They tend to be much cheaper there. But no chanigng rooms, so y have to take home and return until you find the size and cut.

    I have never found a pair of ON that fit my thighs.

    I have been told the levi cuvy ID is good too , though I have no experience.

    Levi curve ID: Bold curve :) They have one that's more curvy, too. Bold curve is what works for me.
