I wanted to love these bottoms as they are simple design. The cut is fantastic and the overall material is well made. However, the waistband has a very thin elastic band inside the material and anytime I put them on I have to spend several minutes fixing the elastic since it has flipped and twisted. I wanted to love these bottoms since they are otherwise perfect for the pool and beach but knowing I'll have to continue to adjust the elastic and then concerned that if I wash the item, the elastic may be further compromised in quality/function, makes me want to return them rather than keep them.
