Wow, thought it was just me.

Go up a size. The fact that you have "pressure" is your clue.

Any elastic type waist - leggings, hose, pants- make me feel like I am having horrible gas cramps. Absolute misery. Doesn’t matter of high waisted or regular for me.

Yup, it starts in the afternoon, I assume because of some bloat.

Both Abercrombie and Mott and Bow have mid-rise styles.

Yes! Me too- Even when they are not tight at all.

Yes. I stopped wearing pants when I was pregnant because the pressure was unbearable. I never could wear tights for this reason that went around my waist. I'm petite and would buy high waisted tights and pull them up to my bra (dh thought this was sexy- not!). I love high waisted leggings though. I really can't go back to jeans or pants for daily wear. I don't get sharp pains, it's more just makes me feel like I have to poop (but I don't), so it's an intestinal discomfort I think.

I am short waisted like other people posted above. No hernias and I don't wear tight pants.

Ha, glad I am not the only one with this issue. They're fine if I'm out and about but I can not wear pants/jeans with higher waists for work or travel when I'm sitting for long periods. It makes me feel ill!

Yes. I can't stand pants that hit at my naval or above. They make my stomach feel weird.

I have IBS and clothing that’s too binding on the waist gives me problems.

What...no. They are pants, not pajamas.

I love high waisted

OP this has happened to me on long haul flights where I am wearing leggings or jeans . I am stuck in coach because, money.

I think it might be more a combo of something tighter on your body and sitting for a long time in one position- are you generally sitting when you have this?

Ah. No.
