Customer Reviews L.L.Bean BeanFlex Pull-On Jeans in Stonewashed

These petite jeans were longer and tighter in the lower leg than the exact same pair of jeans that I had purchased a year ago. The waist is the same size.

Ridiculous that these are marked size 16. They are more like a size 12 and I am not exaggerating.

I was looking for a pair of stretch jeans that are slim in the leg but not as tight as leggings. This isn't them.

I have the black and rinsed versions and love the fit so decided to get the stonewashed. Big mistake! Stonewashed made in Mexico seems cheaply made, less fabric, thinner fabric, way tighter, just a shadow of the others. The leg fabric is mismatched. Don't buy the stonewashed.

I was so excited to get these, sadly they are so tight in the calves that I will be returning this pair as well as the other color when it arrives. These felt much more like leggings than jeans but not as comfortable as leggings.

For a pull on jean, these looked like they would be good; not "frumpy". These were a very narrow leg opening at the bottom; more than L.L.'s slim leg styles which I frequently buy. They tended to bag a little at the ankle. Perhaps it was the stiffness of the denim. I also don't understand why you put a few horizontal lines across the stomach/belly area. Is this to simulate wrinkling? It doesn't seem flattering IMO. I guess I'll just stick to your slim leg jeans which I like. You do offer some other pull on jeans on line but they are not offered in a size 2 Pet or Reg. Why?

They seem nice but these were way too big, though I am solidly a 12P. I'd try a smaller size but I hate to keep having to pay postage.

I bought the dark blue first and they fit perfect, I was in love with them! Then I bought the lighter blue about 2 months later. I got the same size and length but when I tried them on I was barely able to squeeze into them. I pulled out my other pair and compared them. The lighter pair were at least an inch smaller in the waist. How disappointing, the quality control was obviously off. I was even more disappointed that I had to pay to send them back even though they should have fit like the other pair and that I lost some of the reward money I had used on the purchase.

These jeans would be perfect for most, but not me. I have a very straight figure, I always have, but heading into my 70's it's getting even straighter (ie almost no waist.) The only reason I bought these is that a pull on has a little more give in the waist and I can get jeans that fit both my hips (size 10) and my waist (size 12). I also bought medium tall knowing they would be long, but that's what I could get. Hemming is easy enough. So, if you're 5'7' don't buy medium tall unless you wear heels. These have almost no give in the waist and I have "spillage" (otherwise known as fat) pooling above the waistband), exactly what I was hoping to avoid. Other pull-ons by other companies have worked perfectly. Not these. I will be returning them, and trying a 12 but I already know they will be baggy.

I LOVED the quality of these jeans and the petite length was perfect but they did run small and I returned them.

I really like the faded black denim of these jeans, however, I sent them back. I ordered my usual size of 6 and they had a little too much bagginess in the abdomen area and in general. I am sure if I bought one size smaller, they would fit better but I am not sure I would be able to pull them over my hips. It was hard enough getting my normal size over my hips, let alone one size smaller. Material is a bit stiff to be a pull on type of pant. This is not a really stretchy denim, so do not expect that. Overall, I think they are good jeans and am considering maybe re-ordering if the price drops to see if a smaller size will work.

Too tight at the ankles. Needed help to take them off which is not practical to deal with on a regular basis .

I really wanted to love these pull-on jeans, but I will unfortunately be returning them. They fit perfectly and comfortably from the knees up, but from the knees down they are WAY too tight and uncomfortable and it was a bit difficult to get my feet in and out (I am 5'5", 135-ish pounds, shoe size 7.5, and I do not have large calves). I have a pair of skinny jeans from another retailer, and they fit fine and are comfortable. They're going back.

I live in LLBean jeans- they are the only kind I buy. But these BeanFlex pull ons were a total misfit on me. They were...awkward. They were uncomfortable and I just sent them back and put on my old 1912 jeans that I love! Please bring those back, LLBean.

Fit very strange, far to much material in crotch area. Material and construction were good, but returned because of fit.

In 2020 I bought two pair of these pants. The dark blue ones fit perfect at size 6P. The second pair light blue 6P were smaller in the legs so I gave them away. This time I tried buying a size up in the light blue and they were to big up top but perfect in the legs but the real issue was the material. Nothing like the last two pairs. These were thin and cheap looking. What is going on with llbeans clothing? Just never know what you're going to get. Done ordering by mail.

Oddly shaped. The waist was too large but the legs were too tight ???

I had such high hopes for these. They fit literally everywhere except the waist. They were soooo tight in the stomach I was in pain. When are companies going to start making jeans for apple shaped figures? I have skinny legs, no hips, a medium sized butt and a large stomach. Also what is going on with that elastic waistband? From the picture I expected a flat elastic that doesn't scrunch up the fabric. I pulled these jeans out of the bag and immediately thought 1980s mom jeans. Come on LL BEAN. If other companies can use a flat elastic in their pants that is smooth and not hideous you can too. These were size 14 and I'm 5'5 185 lbs. these are going back

Very weird fit...fit well in waist and thighs, and were uncomfortably tight below the knee. I returned them.

I was very happy to see pull-on's in this style, but disappointed that the waistline was designed to hit below the waist. I ordered them to see if they would feel ok in spite of this but found them very uncomfortable and weird looking. Probably fine for someone under 60, which I am not. I returned them because of the low waist.

These fit fine in waist and thighs but I could hardly get them on because the ankle opening doesn't stretch. The uneven stretch in the material caused the knees to look like gaucho pants. The bottom half and ankles were so unmoveable you couldn't adjust when standing up from sitting position.

These are the most uncomfortable pair of jeans I have ever worn. Maybe it is because I ordered a petite size (although that is what I always order). The crotch was made wrong and cut into me. I also had to wear them about 3 inches below my waist to even get them on. The ankles are very tight. I do like that they have functional pockets and the jean material is substantial.

They Run big. I Like them otherwise! Hope to exchange size.

They are very low rise and the ankle is so tight that you cannot take them off in a hurry. They are so hard to get off past my feet that I start to panic. The jeans have stretch every where except the ankle. The more I try to wear them, the scarier they get.

baggy in the crotch. Rise is long and within minutes start to sag in the groin.
