The BeanFlex jeans are generally well-received for their comfortable fit, stretch, and durability. However, some customers have found the sizing to run small compared to other products, requiring them to order a size up. Additionally, a few customers noted the mid-rise waist was higher than expected, creating an uncomfortable fit for some body types. While a popular and well-made product, customers should be aware of the potential sizing challenges when ordering.
I really liked these jeans until I sat down. I am short waisted so the back was a bit low and the waist came up to my bra. I hope this didn’t happen to you because they were really

Not Really Mid-Rise
Was excited to find mid-rise at this time, but these jeans came up well above my waist, creating the dreaded muffin top that true mid-rise jeans help to alleviate. The color and fa

Not happy
They are so baggy that I don’t like them at all. Not wearing them. But had them hemmed before I realized the problem so I assume that I can’t return them.

Not lightweight and much too long.
Inseam Purchased: Regular
Weight: 220-230 lbs
Height: 5'7"
Size Purchased: 22W
Fit: True to size
When I read the review of these jeans, I truly thought these would be lightweight and appropriate for summer. Not so. Also, the jeans need to be hemmed about 3". I'll keep them,

Flattering classic jeans.
Great cut and denim with flattering lines. Waistband is a bit too small. The buttonhole had not been slashed open sufficiently, but that is a separate issue. Keeping them anyway

Finally!
Finally I’ve found jeans that hug my curves, are higher in the waist, with just enough stretch and still hold their shape throughout the day! And there is no foul chemical smell li
