Does Anyone Else Have This Problem With Trousers?

[radderfire]

Does anyone else find all trousers uncomfortable to wear when you sit down in them, i.e. they become too tight around the crotch area, you basically get a wedgie. I think the problem for me is that the height between the top of the trousers and the crotch where the legs meet is always too short, I think this is referred to as the rise. I have looked in many High Street stores, always looking for as high a rise as possible, but cannot find comfortable trousers, they all have too short a rise. I'm 6ft and have a 36in waist, maybe this is slim for my height, but I don't see that it makes much difference. Anyway, am I alone in this problem or do others find the same? I am beginning to find it very annoying. The best shop I have found for highest rise is Next, but even their trousers are far from comfortable. If you've had this problem, what did you do about it? I'm thinking of getting some trousers tailor made or learning to make trousers, it's bothering me that much.

Thanks

Suit trousers? Or jeans etc?

I'd check out where the late Sir Patrick Moore got his capacious suits Is that enough "rise" for you?

All types. They all seem to be designed with too low a rise for me. I guess I need high rise/low crotch trousers if anyone knows where these can be bought from, but they don't appear to be common.

Get a wider waistband and a set of braces..... sorted.

Just embrace your inner old man and pull the knees up when you sit down.

Never have that problem with like suit/formal trousers or similar, I wear stretch jeans which alleviates that issue (but I also don't wear skin tight jeans which probably helps).

That's not slim for your height. I'm a few inches taller than you, and was annoyed when I had to start wearing 34in waist in my late 40s.

Try wearing your trousers slightly lower.

Try wearing your trousers slightly lower.

Thanks for the suggestion, I've tried it and it doesn't really work.

 

[radderfire]

This is the best suggestion so far!

M&S active jeans are pretty good.

Though I've just upped to 36 as I've put on a lot of weight. I was a 34 at 90+ kgs, at 6ft. So I wouldn't say 36 is slim at all.

too tight around the crotch area, you basically get a wedgie.

Worst I've got massive nads post ever.

36" at 6ft isn't that slim to be fair.

Try going to big and tall and maybe rolling them up or get them fitted

I bought a couple of pairs of Karrimor Panther trousers not long back on a whim, was pleasantly surprised to find out they're the most comfortable trousers I've ever worn. They have some stretch in the material so they don't get all uncomfortable when moving about or sitting down and the rise isn't too short. For the price I can't fault them.

Was also going to echo that 36 inch waist at 6 foot is bordering overweight. That might be the cause of the uncomfortableness.

30" waist at 5' 10" tall mind you at 69 years old I am tending towards 32".

Could always try some spankx

Reminds me of my partner's colleague that gets ribbed incessantly because he buys all of his clothes at the garden centre
