The easiest way, of course, is to use elastic on the back. That is, open up the waistband in the back, put in some elastic, sew to the sides, and close up the waistband.
Another option is to lower the waistband on your jeans, specially if they are high waisted. Very often, this gives you a better fit. You might lose access to the front pockets if you do that, though.
Assuming you do not want to do either of these, it is a lot more complicated, since you effectively will be taking apart the jeans on the sides and at the back and tapering the cut. If the jeans have pockets, depending on the amount of tapering, you might have to cut them down a bit as well.
It might be best to look for jeans that fit well in the first place - yes, I know that means hours in a store trying on jeans, but once you find a couple of brands and styles, you are set.

When you add elastic to the waistband of a pair of jeans does it make the whole pair of jeans bigger all over like in the butt and thighs too or just the waist?
no just the waist

For those pants possibly.

Women tend to be curvier over the hips than men, so clothes are usually cut differently to fit better.

You have 39inches hips and 37inches belly-you are 22 years old-If you wear normal jeans it hurts your belly badly and if you wear low waist jeans your belly hangs over your jeans-what should you wear?
I had the exact same problem, I was so frustrated until I found custom made jeans. I get mine at Make Your Own Jeans. They start at just $48.00. You have total control over the style, fit, cut, rise, length, everything. I just love them. You even have choices of different cute pockets and other embellishments. They look great and they're so comfortable because they fit perfectly. http://www.jeanshub.com/MakeYourOwnJeans/htmlredir.html
If you wear a size 8 in womens jean what would be your waist size?
your waist isn't covered by your pants, its a little below your bust. you would measure your hip size with your pants if that's what you mean, but your hips are probly over 36.

You can only get fat all over your body, but it goes more to your hips if you're a woman than if you were a man.
