I am female, but ordered what I thought generally would have been sold for men to wear. I like wearing sweatpants without pockets and until finding these online, was unable to find any any place without pockets...the pockets being practically useless for girls, & only contribute to more fabric on the side, which then looks lumpy & unsightly! So, even though I have bought men's Medium in the past, I ordered these in Medium as well, but found them still to be way too big. Consequestly, they are still hanging in the closet & I'm not getting any good out of my purchase at all.
