alternative to Vuori (athleisure): need natural fiber pieces with gentle, forgiving waistbands

Unfortunately, I am EXTREMELY sensitive to anything that is tight at the waist, especially high-rise elastic waistbands, and the wide, thick "hold you in" type waist bands that are present on most leggings. They give me pain.

I have found that the company Vuori has the absolute best, most forgiving and gentle waistbands. They are so comfortable to me (I specifically have these pants, these, these, and these shorts). Unfortunately, they're all polyester, and the fabrics have begun to irritate my skin.

I am okay with cotton/spandex blends, as well as oeko-tex modal/viscose fibers. The problem is, when I've found cotton/spandex leggings and joggers in the past, the waistbands have always been stiff, tight, not flexible enough for me.

Any ideas for brands or products that may work for me?
