    I've heard that men's pants are starting to get inflated sizes too - i.e. a 34x36 may be slightly more than 34 inches around the waist... just another symptom of America's refusal to acknowledge the obesity epidemic!

    It's been that way for a while. Pants marked as 34s are probably closer to 38-39 inches.
    yes.
    for example, mens 34 jeans from old navy are for a 37" waist...

    I wish they sized women's jeans like men's.

    Ergh.

    Guys tend to have the same problem.. we just don't notice it as much. :-)

    I wear a 34 waist. I notice if I get them at Kholes, they are snug... not tight, but they fit snug. I went to Walmart and picked up another pair, same size, and I am swimming in them.

    How do they expect you to shop on-line, when the sizes are inconsistent like that.

    Oh, they include a (not so handy) sizing chart on the websites.

    Which often is not specific to the brand...I order 2-3 sizes and return the extras.
