I need help decoding inseams for jeans. I don't have a tape measurer or ruler handy, so I dont know for sure what my inseam size would be. I'm 5'2 and weigh 128 pounds, which is adverage. Can anyone compare and tell me what a normal inseam size would be? Also, when picking a size online the sizes say, for example, 5 32". Is the 5 the wasit part, and the 32" the inseam part?
If you're ordering online, keep in mind that you can exchange them for a different size but you'll have to pay shipping. So, either try and find a ruler or tape measure [borrow one if you have to] or try on pants in a store. A piece of string can work too- cut the string to size, then measure the string.
So if all you had was, say, a protractor with a ruler on the bottom, you could use that to figure out your inseam length!

All i can tell you is that you should go to a store and try on different pants until you find a size that fits you. you should never order pants or anything until you have tried on your size at a store and know taht it fits (if you were planning on ordering).
No 5 is not the waist. No ones waist is that tiny. I'm pretty sure that's the pant size and the 32" is the inseam.
