About 5 months ago I bought a “women’s” pair of 90% cotton, 10% spandex “yoga pants” Basically just very thin and lightweight cotton pants with a drawstring waist. I cannot find that Joe Boxer line at Kmart anymore and all the non body-hugging cotton/spandex excercise pants I find are heavy sweatpant material. I didn’t have much luck at walmart either. I don’t want a fancy $20-30 pair, just some cheap $5-10 pairs to sleep in. Any other stores I should try?

Do you have a Sears near you? In the men’s department they sell a line called Discus, 100% cotton t-shirt weight pants for $12.00. They have an elastic/drawstring waist and elastic in the legs that’s easy to remove if you don’t want it. I use these for yoga and sleeping. They’re very light and non-binding.
