saggy

Yielding to gravity

Saggy describes something that droops or hangs loosely, having lost firmness or tautness.

Skin becomes saggy with age, mattresses grow saggy with use, and ill-fitting clothes look saggy: saggy jeans, a saggy diaper.

The word often carries unflattering connotations when applied to body parts: saggy breasts, a saggy bottom.
