I'm fat enough now that my pants are sitting below my belly, does this make a difference in what size I should get it how I measure? I've never been this big before. π₯΄π
Spoop Skerry:
If you want belly hang, measure above your hips, with tape tucked beneath your belly.
If you want a belly pocket, you'll need to start measuring for rise more, to ensure you can fit your gut in the jeans. Not enough rise and they won't fit, or give a "front butt".
Oh, and make sure to leave gaining room, either way.

When I move around the waistline falls under most of my belly, and catches on the lowest roll. π
When I wear sport shorts, the front hangs lower as the back is up around my ass. I've had to roll the band in the front only to "level out" the way the shorts hang now.
I tried on my cargo shorts from July and I am NOT a 36 anymore. (And that's under the belly) π³βΊοΈ I think I'm definitely going to need extra space in new pants at this rate.
