  Are you sure you've measured your waist properly?

  30" is great It's when you're heading for a 36" that you should worry.

  Well it's easier to buy 30" trousers/jeans as that's the standard smallest they do at most places.:)
  
  When i was 29" I bought 30" anyway & wore with a belt. Now that I am 30" I still wear a belt all the time even though i don't need one as I am so used to it i feel underdressed otherwise. I was able to buy some 29" trousers in Next, also in the boys childrens section of department stores

  That's good, especially when you consider that the average is 32".

  That's one of the main reasons I buy Diesel jeans, because they do a 28" waist
  
  My local Next don't seem to stock any jeans with a waist size smaller than 32".

  I'm 6'2" and the last time I checked my waist was 40"... supposedly your waist should be half your height
  
  I measure my waist an inch above my belly button, since that's where my waist is

  Is that like a 22/24 womens sizing?
  
  I get very confused with sizing as a M&S 12 is very different to a Next 12 (for example)

  I don't know my waist measurement, I buy clothes in 10's or 12's depending on how they fit, including jeans.
  
  Edit just looked at my jeans label, it says 29".:o

  I'm the same. As long as they fit it doesn't matter. I usually try them on beforehand anyway.

  Female, height 5 ft 8 inches, waist measurement 31 inches. When I was in my 20s, I had a 26-inch waist - unfortunately in those days, that wasn't slim! Apparently now I'm pretty average.

  No that's absolutely right and is the appropriate place.
