Does Anyone Else Have This Problem With Trousers?

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?

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.

Try wearing your trousers slightly lower.

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

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

No I'm not overweight and my actual waist is probably lower than this but I buy slightly larger waist so they sit lower to alleviate this problem, although it doesn't really work. It seems most other people don't have this issue, I think I just need to find some trousers with much higher rise but I haven't seen any.
