Are pants supposed to fit when...?

...you are standing or when you are sitting down? This odd question has been pondering my mind for awhile. I mean, mine fit great when I am standing...but when I sit, I get the lovely "Muffin-top"! What do you think?

Update:

Thanks so far. Yes, I do sit down too and make sure my undies aren't hanging out and to make sure they are not too tight. I was just curious what others thought, too! Thanks!

    Personally, which I know is rather odd, but I have to admit I kind of like a slight muffin top look for a girl. Some would say that this is taboo, however, I think that the presence of the muffin top means that a girl has a bit of curve to her that looks absolutely gorgeous standing up, all proportioned and sitting down is a non natural position.If you have a wonderful personality and a muffin top, you may find yourself being considered a real and natural woman and that is coveted by many men. I personally enjoy this look. For the man in your life and your happiness sake, please do not wear granny jeans because if you look gorgeous standing up, your going to look gorgeous in any other position to the man that appreciates you.

    Both. When I go to try on Jeans I always do the sit down and bend test. If they look great when I try them on and am standing, then I bend at the waist to make sure that they are not too low rise and my **** isn't hanging out. If that's okay, Then I sit on the little stool in fitting room, to make sure that they don't ride down too far. So I say they need to fit both standing and sitting. if you have the muffin top effect though, maybe you should try a little higher rise jean. Don't go for the super low cut/rise jeans, try a mid-rise jean. Hope this helps.

    when I buy jeans I like to sit down to see how they look and feel... cause thats what I though the little stool or wood thing was for haha and I know that sometimes when I sit down with jeans they get all scrunched in the crotch area and look funny and yes even I get a muffin top and everything thinks I'm like bone thin so just hike up the jeans before you sit... haha and I don't think anyone looks at a muffin top when you sit... So I think they should fit when your standing if they're just like out on the town jeans and sitting for school... because mostly you sit alot in school.... HIH

    They have to fit for both. If a particular pair of jeans are bad, wear a shirt that goes down to cover anything showing.

    LOL.
