I struggle to find trousers that don't "stretch" after I have worn them sitting down for a while. I have a reasonable booty and i'm 6'2" with a 32" waist. I gave up on belts years ago because they always stretch into a bit of a V shape due to the pressure going through them when sitting.
Does Anyone Else Have This Problem With Trousers?

I'm convinced I have a high bum. Whatever trousers I wear, my arsecrack is always hanging out. If I pull the trousers right up to cover my arse it means my crown jewels are gathered up and displayed a'la Borat's mankini. I'm considering going to a tailor and asking them if I'm abnormal as my partner is convinced I just can't wear trousers properly.

Crackxit?
Yes, have had this when I wore more " fashion" branded jeans, I honestly think its them being cheap on material not making enough room from the Waistline to the crotch seam.
Went into M&S, bought one of there regular stretch fit jeans, best thing I ever did.

Ditto to that. Thank goodness. I am not alone. My Mrs is forever telling me to pull my trouser waistband higher.

If you need a bigger rise in the trouser department, try posting in the Only Fans thread.

Off topic rambling alert!
I posted a while ago about a pop star whose name I couldn't recall, (a situation age causes me to find myself in regularly these days). It was in a post where I said this celebrity had selflessly secretly bought Sir Patrick's beloved cottage as the famous astronomer had been suffering very poor health and was unable to meet its running costs. Such generosity is deserving of more than "a name I can't recall" so i am bunging it in here as I used the affable and eccentric Sir Patrick Moore's photo to show "rise" can be indeed still be found in genteman's trousers if you find the right tailor!
So, with apologies to Brian May CBE , here's the story of how he helped a dear friend out. (And, for completeness, as time has moved on, Sir Patrick's astronomical objects from his estate now do indeed reside in the Science Museum).
Despite having a personal fortune in excess of £90 million, Queen guitarist Brian May has found himself unable to fulfil the last wish of his close friend and hero, the astronomer Sir Patrick Moore.
The colourful Sky At Night presenter, who died aged 89 last December, fervently wanted his beloved West Sussex home to be converted into an astronomy centre in his name. Now, less than a year after his death, I learn his wish has been thwarted.
Moore had hoped that such an idea would encourage a new generation of astronomers. Now Brian May has confirmed that plans for a museum have been abandoned.
This is despite May’s undoubted devotion to Moore. In 2008, the musician, who has a PhD in astrophysics, quietly bought Patrick’s house for £480,000 — £40,000 over its value.
May immediately leased it back to him at an annual rent of ‘one peppercorn’. Four years previously, he had also purchased the adjoining land to free his friend from financial worry.
May, who describes Moore as ‘a father figure’, was the driving force behind the museum scheme. Now he admits this is not going to happen. The house and land may even be sold.
May, currently voicing God in the West End musical Spamalot, tells me: ‘I’m afraid there isn’t going to be a museum at Farthings. It hasn’t worked out.’
Although reluctant to go into details, he adds: ‘We are going to commemorate Patrick in a section of the Science Museum. It will probably be called The Sir Patrick Moore Area. Patrick was a dear friend and a wonderful man. I still miss him.
‘As for the house, its future has yet to be decided.’
Moore lived at his thatched cottage, Farthings, in Selsey for almost 50 years — first with his mother until she died in 1981, and then alone with his cat, Ptolemy.
He comforted himself in his declining years with the prospect of the house continuing to be a focus for astronomy when he was gone.
Because of Patrick’s failing health, the BBC made arrangements for The Sky At Night to be filmed at the house for the last ten years of his life.
Poignantly, he presented his final show from there days before his demise.

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.

Alas yes, but my gym gains have caused the problem. 36 waist is too big, but then everything else ends up too tight. I’ll need tailored suits soon, but that doesn’t solve my short/jeans issues. Tbh I mostly just live in gym shorts/vest tops these days.
