- How do side-opening pants work?
- The zipper runs the full length of each leg, so the pant opens completely flat. You lay it under the legs, zip up the sides, then fasten the elastic waist. That lets someone dress while seated or in bed.
- Are these pants good after hip or knee surgery?
- Yes, that is the main use. The flat-opening sides avoid bending and lifting the legs, and the loose cut clears dressings and swelling. Check the 28.5-inch inseam against your leg length first.
- Do they have a fly or buttons?
- No. The waist is elastic with no fly, belt loops or buttons, so there is nothing to fasten at the front. All the opening is on the sides.
- What is the inseam and zipper length?
- The inseam is 28.5 inches and each side zipper is 22 inches. The hem is a plain open ankle with no elastic.
- Can a caregiver put these on someone lying down?
- Yes. Open both sides, slide the pant under the legs, and zip each side closed. The elastic waist then pulls up without lifting the wearer.
- How should I wash them?
- Machine wash in cold or warm water and tumble dry low. Close the side zippers before washing to protect the teeth and the fabric.
