Well...it's probably more of an issue for those of us that carry a bit more "fluff" around the middle. The waistband on some of my shorts just sort of sinks into my tummy roll and begins to dig and bind, leaving a nice mark after I'm done riding. I particularly have problems with shorts that have a drawstring...VERY uncomfortable. For those gals that are trimmer and aren't carrying any extra padding around the tummy, I can see where this would not be an issue. I will give some "props" to the some of the newer styles of shorts that have a non-elastic, wide yoga-type waistband...I have a few pairs of these and they are much better than my shorts with regular elastic waistbands.
