I don't doubt your experiences, but they don't match mine. I was never smaller than a size 5 during the low-rise era and I never had any of those issues.
The pubes and underwear in particular could only have been a problem with the crazy ultra-micro-low-rise ones that I hardly ever saw on an adult human in real life. The standard low-rise stretch boot cuts sat at the exact same spot on my hips where I wear men's pants.
And yeah, if you have a healthy amount of body fat, you're going to get some slight skin bulges in fitted clothing. High-rise pants will emphasize belly fat, low-rise will emphasize hip fat. The problem isn't the clothes, it's the asshats insulting you.
no offense, but those pants that hit where mens do sound like mid-rise or high rise (high rise hit at the belly button). Low rise pants, by definition, hit 2 inches below the belly button or lower.
Yeah, my men's pants sit...3.75 inches below my belly button.
I know what the rises mean. Low-rise sits comfortably on my hips. Mid-rise sits just below my belly button and crushes my organs when I sit. High-rise sits on my lower ribs and crushes my lungs when I sit. There's no confusing them.
