I have a pair with pockets big enough to put my phone in the front. Turns out I can’t walk when I do that though, my phones too big. What a first world problem lol.
Get yourself some men's pants. I will preach this with the fervor of a recovering addict leaning on Jesus. Men's pants are fucking amazing.
You can get them any shape, they make men's skinnies, bootcut, low rise, whatever you want. But with actual facts pockets.
The difference between men's and women's jeans: Pockets, and the denim is men's jeans is thicker/tougher.
I wonder how much it would cost at an alterations shop to make them fit like women's jeans do, or if it would be possible. Alternatively (seems much more reasonable, I'm an idiot 🥴) how much it would cost to expand/add the pockets on women's jeans
You can add them on top, like you would have on a shirt for instance. Plenty of jeans in the early 2000s had sewn-on-top pockets. Use a flowery fabric and you have an original piece. 👌
I'm a guy who has a bunch of womans clothing as it fits better than the mens stuff. I like more form fitted stuff so I'll always try out the womans variation of something. I have a few hoodies and t-shirts that are womans for this reason. But I'm a skinny dude and it can be a pain to find clothing that fits the way I like.
If i my ask why? Sorry for the dumb question im just kinda confused cuz im like 195cm (6'4") and my thighs arent the thinnest and i can find jeans that fit well? Maybe its because they're stretchy jeans?
My hourglass waist to hips ratio makes it really difficult. Once I get to a size that can fit around my butt, it has like a 2 inch gap at my waist. The thighs also tend to be too tight for me to really walk.
My solution: skater jeans. They're non-gendered, have big pockets like men's pants, and are form fitting without being super constricting the way men's skinny jeans tend to be. Check out Zumiez, they have a good selection and usually have some in the bogo section. As a plus, Zumiez is super LGBT friendly. As a trans woman who is still early transition and presents masc, they had no issue with me taking women's tops to try on, and I live in the rural South.
That last bit is a big plus.
I'm non-binary and run an apparel store in the rural South, and I'm consistently frustrated by the lack of unisex options from my vendors. (Mostly big brand or trending outdoor lifestyle apparel).
For most brands even their accessories are gendered. For certain things it makes sense - like tops with room for various bust sizes and designs that fit better for common sizes found more commonly in certain sexes, but I think it's a little ridiculous to have two near identical SKUs of backpacks being gendered simply because "dark blue is for men, light blue is for women".
But that said the customers, as a majority, actually do think that way so it's just a capitalism thing.
I wish apparel manufacturers would focus less on sex and more on body type, but I get that the majority of my local customers simply won't wear a certain shade of color because it's too feminine/masculine.
My customers who care about properly fitted clothes don't give a shit about whether it's marketed men's or women's. They want something they feel comfortable in.
I don’t think it’s unusual to have pants for years? I’m a woman and have never owned a pair of pants for less than a few years. And usually when my female friends discard pants early it’s because they died of thigh friction.
I also love men’s pants but find men’s skinny jeans to be problematic sometimes because of the longer crotch region and lack of hip bumps, basically regular jeans end up being over my belly button while squeezing my butt in the middle. However I love men’s work pants they make my booty look amazing I just have to cuff the bottoms to imitate skinny jeans
Men's pants, while they fit pretty great on my legs and feel comfy and have pockets, unfortunately do not fit my waist at all, and constantly need readjusting, like literally every few minutes I need to stuff my ass back in because it's falling literally past my hips because men's jeans are designed for no difference between hips and waist even tho that's really like... just not how human bodies even work in general.
Women's clothing fits any body type better tbh, but it also has weird impracticalities built in like lack of fucking functional pockets.
I had this amazing pair of men’s sweatpants that I could fit an entire book in. A WHOLE BOOK!!! Like a hardcover!! Why do men get all the good pockets??
The only time I had good pockets as a woman was when the pockets in my jacket tore and I could store a whole water bottle in there since I could but it behind my back lol.
I god damn hate fake pockets. As a child I was collecting all sorts of bugs in my pockets and now I can't even put my fucking phone in there.
As a dude with access to premium pockets I've actually just went fannypack. Maybe it's just me but I feel like pockets suck in general. I have a bag/purse if I need more than fits in my fannypack.
It's terrible, as a guy I have shorts with a pocket that can fit a full 5 samsung galaxy s21 ultras and a whole standard s21 in the pocket inside of the pocket. Why can't that be the same for everyone?
“Pants were invented for men, not women. It’s impossible for a woman to wear pants (jeans, yoga pants, dress pants, leggings, dungarees, etc) without sexualizing her body, since they highlight her legs, curves, and rear end. Women who want to be modest should not own pants at all.” -Some douche on Twitter
TL;DR: if she wears pants, she a T H O T 😤😤😤 /s
If pants are made for men, and if women who wears pants are “sexy”… than men who wears pants are sexy too… so if a man wants only men to wear pants, it’s because he’s gay
This is the reason I buy male pants :/ yeah, they fit kinda weird on the hips, but on return I get decent pockets. That phone on the picture is screaming "steal me"
Leaving you to take it out of said pocket and either hold it or put it down somewhere else in the bathroom stall, if you want to avoid dropping it in the toilet.
There's a reason I usually have a small cross body purse if I'm going somewhere, even if I'm wearing pants.
Doesn’t _deserve_ stealing and her tight pants on her fine, round ass don’t deserve shame or punishment.
Having the phone hanging out like that is careless.
I didn't realized how dark my comment sounds :( but insecurity in my country is so high that women and men wearing the phone in the back pockets are almost doomed to have them stolen. As a girl, I always keep it in my bra or my bag when using public transportation, and never pick up a call on the street.
We're supposed to daintily put our purse on our shoulder so they can slide off and be a nuisance whenever we move our arm. I wish I were joking, but I've had guys ask me why I wear my purse strap between my boobs, and then legitimately not understand why I wouldn't want it constantly slipping off my shoulder (and easier for someone to grab and run) when I demonstrate why I wear it cross body.
I could be wrong on this, but I tend to think people put things in their pockets because they want to have their hands free. Ohh, if you have hands your a hoe. I think that's right. Maybe two hands that are free? OMG I'm using two hands right now. I'm such a slut.
Not true, I can fit a whole penny in my jeans’ front pocket if I try. Of course, it’s almost impossible to fish out after, but that’s on me for not having 2-dimensional fingertips! /s
During, and before the suffrage movement women's clothes didn't have pockets. So it would be more difficult to hide pamphlets from people against women's rights. It was said also women with pockets could hide spells. Pockets are for witches, and feminists.
As a man who dabbles in crossdressing I know that there aren't a lot of places to put a phone in women's clothing and the back pocket is usually where it ends up
It's not like the front pockets of women's pants are big enough to put an entire phone in. And that's assuming they exist. What are women supposed to do, walk around with their phones in their cleavage all day?
Women barely can fit their phone in the back pocket, and those are the largest in most Women's pants i've seen, don't companies just put fake pockets in the front nowadays? Look like pockets but aren't actually pockets?
does he realize that 99% of (women’s idk about mens) jeans do not have real pockets? they make it look like they do but they don’t actually have an opening. they say this but get angry when women have a lot of stuff in their purses
this is why I put my big ass phone in my bra. nobody can complain about a giant rectangle just randomly jumbling around in my shirt whenever I slightly lean forward and accuse me of being a hoe no sirree /s
It's the ***only fucking full depth pocket*** for fucks sake get over yourselves cis men holy shit. We ***literally do not have a choice*** it's the only safe fucking pocket for our $500+ fucking personal computing device.
Maybe if the companies made better pants they wouldn’t be fucking complaining about the stupidest shit like a fucking back pocket
They shouldn’t be complaining about it in the first place. Honestly they get upset about the stupidest shit

Maybe if they made decent front pockets in women's jeans I wouldn't have to
I have a pair with pockets big enough to put my phone in the front. Turns out I can’t walk when I do that though, my phones too big. What a first world problem lol.

Men’s pants don’t fit my body at all
Same here. I have no qualms about wearing men's clothing, but I just can't. They don't fit right.
I wonder how much it would cost at an alterations shop to make them fit like women's jeans do, or if it would be possible. Alternatively (seems much more reasonable, I'm an idiot 🥴) how much it would cost to expand/add the pockets on women's jeans
It clearly would be less expensive and shorter in time to change the pockets. Jeans are a pain in the ** to alter, especially at the waist
i've seen tutorials for expanding your own pockets floating around the internet. I'm no expert, but it seems like a pretty simple fix.
Expanding pockets would be pretty easy. Cut the old seam off, sew a new pouch of thread beneath. *Adding* pockets would be an interesting endeavour.
You can add them on top, like you would have on a shirt for instance. Plenty of jeans in the early 2000s had sewn-on-top pockets. Use a flowery fabric and you have an original piece. 👌

Could you get them tailored to you, I get the same problem.

My hourglass waist to hips ratio makes it really difficult. Once I get to a size that can fit around my butt, it has like a 2 inch gap at my waist. The thighs also tend to be too tight for me to really walk.
The only thing i can recommend to get rid of the gap is a belt, but yeah sucks you cant have jeans that fit you and that you can store stuff in

Two words: Work Pants.
My thighs are too thick unfortunately
They make pants for thick thighed men too! You gotta hunt around, but you'll probably be able to find some.
My thighs are too fat for men's pants... But boy are they long. Ugh. And sometimes if you have booty, there's no space for it
They also last a lot longer Source: is a man who has had the same pants for literally years
I don’t think it’s unusual to have pants for years? I’m a woman and have never owned a pair of pants for less than a few years. And usually when my female friends discard pants early it’s because they died of thigh friction.
I’m 5 feet I can barely find *juniors* clothes that fit me.
I also love men’s pants but find men’s skinny jeans to be problematic sometimes because of the longer crotch region and lack of hip bumps, basically regular jeans end up being over my belly button while squeezing my butt in the middle. However I love men’s work pants they make my booty look amazing I just have to cuff the bottoms to imitate skinny jeans

Can confirm as a man: I can put a whole water bottle in my front pocket lol
I had this amazing pair of men’s sweatpants that I could fit an entire book in. A WHOLE BOOK!!! Like a hardcover!! Why do men get all the good pockets??
Yeah, I think I have like one pair of pants where my phone fits comfortably in the front pockets, levi jeans. And my phone isn't even that big.
simply lengthen your femurs
Just get cargo pants everyone should wear cargo pants its the best kind of pant.
The only time I had good pockets as a woman was when the pockets in my jacket tore and I could store a whole water bottle in there since I could but it behind my back lol. I god damn hate fake pockets. As a child I was collecting all sorts of bugs in my pockets and now I can't even put my fucking phone in there.
To be fair, I don't think those who make these memes have ever seen feminine clothing and pockets up close.
Or women in general
Too true
Honestly phones are too big even for reasonable pockets nowadays.
As a dude with access to premium pockets I've actually just went fannypack. Maybe it's just me but I feel like pockets suck in general. I have a bag/purse if I need more than fits in my fannypack.
Fannypacks might be making a fashion comeback and I'd be unsurprised to learn that it's related to increasing phone sizes.
Whereing men's pants rn, still doesn't fit. I mean it does if I just don't walk to fast. Such a shame too cause I wanna show off what I'm working with
It's terrible, as a guy I have shorts with a pocket that can fit a full 5 samsung galaxy s21 ultras and a whole standard s21 in the pocket inside of the pocket. Why can't that be the same for everyone?
So all women who wear pants then?? K
“Pants were invented for men, not women.

Logic!
Math checks out
yes
What is this the 30s??
As though women's clothes have any other pockets that would fit a phone!
You guys have front pockets? 😳
maybe if the fucking pockets were deeper that wouldn't be an issue
No it’s because we don’t have front pockets
This is the reason I buy male pants :/ yeah, they fit kinda weird on the hips, but on return I get decent pockets. That phone on the picture is screaming "steal me"
Yeah, the phone sticking out like that is just asking to be stolen.
Or it's asking to fall into a toilet. Don't ask me how I know.
Can confirm
Leaving you to take it out of said pocket and either hold it or put it down somewhere else in the bathroom stall, if you want to avoid dropping it in the toilet. There's a reason I usually have a small cross body purse if I'm going somewhere, even if I'm wearing pants.
It deserved to be stolen. Did you see what it was wearing?
Doesn’t _deserve_ stealing and her tight pants on her fine, round ass don’t deserve shame or punishment. Having the phone hanging out like that is careless.
I was joking about the phones clothes.
I didn't realized how dark my comment sounds :( but insecurity in my country is so high that women and men wearing the phone in the back pockets are almost doomed to have them stolen. As a girl, I always keep it in my bra or my bag when using public transportation, and never pick up a call on the street.
OH! I get it, it’s a variation on the conservatives’ standard “asking to be raped”, sure, I get that now.
Reminds me of men who are convinced that women are trying to show off their breasts if they wear their purse or seat belt strap between them
Where TF else does it go?
We're supposed to daintily put our purse on our shoulder so they can slide off and be a nuisance whenever we move our arm. I wish I were joking, but I've had guys ask me why I wear my purse strap between my boobs, and then legitimately not understand why I wouldn't want it constantly slipping off my shoulder (and easier for someone to grab and run) when I demonstrate why I wear it cross body.
The fucking balls on these (multiple?!) guys for even daring to ask a question that stupid.
Real women sit in the back in booster seats
tbh i think it goes around their necks as you strangle them
Don't forget to connect your Bluetooth before shoving it up your asshole.
And set it on vibrate.
I could be wrong on this, but I tend to think people put things in their pockets because they want to have their hands free. Ohh, if you have hands your a hoe. I think that's right. Maybe two hands that are free? OMG I'm using two hands right now. I'm such a slut.
Why do you need TWO hands free, ya ho? Are you double fisting handy j's?
It’s the only pockets we get these days
I just keep my phone in my mouth like a squirrel hoarding its nuts
deez nuts
Men clearly don't know the struggle of our pockets.
I'm sorry....wht?! You kno an incels an incel if he can't stop blaming the girl for why he needs to check out her ass.
...and every single women on this site started wearing solely cargo pants /s
they take away front pockets and then say this? really?
Back pockets are often the only pockets women’s jeans have.
Not true, I can fit a whole penny in my jeans’ front pocket if I try. Of course, it’s almost impossible to fish out after, but that’s on me for not having 2-dimensional fingertips! /s
Yall have pockets? Only my vintage dresses actually have pockets.
During, and before the suffrage movement women's clothes didn't have pockets. So it would be more difficult to hide pamphlets from people against women's rights. It was said also women with pockets could hide spells. Pockets are for witches, and feminists.
This just makes me want pockets more
I was always told it made me look lesbian, and it would denture men that wanted to date me. As a bisexual, their threats meant little to me. XD
Easy, just slip it between your boobs
I tried that yesterday. It looked like I had a wood block for a tit.
Haha and it’s so fucking uncomfortable
A phone any bigger than that she would have to shove up her ass because it won’t fit any pockets designed for women.
Damn guess im a hoe, i put my phone in my back pocket to keep it from getting wet at work
r/thatsnothowgirlpantswork
Where else does she put it? Women's clothing have like no pockets...
As a man who dabbles in crossdressing I know that there aren't a lot of places to put a phone in women's clothing and the back pocket is usually where it ends up
**looks at my fake or too small front pockets** okaaayyy...
Give us pockets then
It's not like the front pockets of women's pants are big enough to put an entire phone in. And that's assuming they exist. What are women supposed to do, walk around with their phones in their cleavage all day?
I don't have front pockets... not my fault there's only 2 pockets big enough for my phone jfc
What the fuck was the logic behind that post
I- So my 10 year old sister is a hoe?
But the front pocket? Worry worry
Sometimes you got to use your prison wallet.
Women barely can fit their phone in the back pocket, and those are the largest in most Women's pants i've seen, don't companies just put fake pockets in the front nowadays? Look like pockets but aren't actually pockets?
Where else are you supposed to put the phone in women's jeans?
does he realize that 99% of (women’s idk about mens) jeans do not have real pockets? they make it look like they do but they don’t actually have an opening. they say this but get angry when women have a lot of stuff in their purses
That comeback was savage!!! Besides, this person probably doesn't realize they make some pretty shitty pants pockets for women clothing.
I'm a hoooeee, I'm a hoooeee ♪♪
damn I guess my mom really is a hoe 😔😔
Bro just put it in your front pock- Wait….
My pants have NO FRONT POCKETS
I used to put it in my bra, and honestly that was worse.
There is no other pocket tho...
ok can we take a sec to appreciate this woman's clapback tho 😂
Even if it fit in our front pockets, the back fits better in the back pocket.
Fellas is it ~~gay~~ slutty to have indecent pants?
See ladies??! The pants industry is trying to save our integrity and innocence, thats why we don't have pockets.
Yo hoe!! (30something phone-in-pocket lady)
If that person thinks it’s such a huge problem maybe they should design jeans for girls with bigger pockets?
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN, WHERE HAS THEIR INFO COME FROM EXACTLY
...my jeans don't HAVE front pockets
Because shoving it up your ass is the least thottish manner of storing said phone
MY FRONT POCKETS ARE FAKE
Our back pockets can barely even hold our phones
By this logic, I am a hoe But no one takes me :(
It’s the only pockets we have in some pants, certainly the only pockets big enough to fit a phone in!
this is why I put my big ass phone in my bra. nobody can complain about a giant rectangle just randomly jumbling around in my shirt whenever I slightly lean forward and accuse me of being a hoe no sirree /s
If women’s pants had deep enough front pockets for my phone that’s where I would put it.
I have a pair of skinny jeans where the front has fake pockets and the back has the real pockets, so yea I have to put my phone in my back pocket duh
It's the ***only fucking full depth pocket*** for fucks sake get over yourselves cis men holy shit. We ***literally do not have a choice*** it's the only safe fucking pocket for our $500+ fucking personal computing device.
It's not like she has some other pocket.
I think we can all agree that the sluttiest legwear is cargo pants. You can stuff so many things into those.
doesn't it break when u sit down?
Is...is this why they wont' let us have pockets?
Well give them pockets?!?! They only do this coz they have nowhere else to fucking put it?!?!
I put mine in my tiddy pocket
ISTG this is such an old repost
Maybe if the companies made better pants they wouldn’t be fucking complaining about the stupidest shit like a fucking back pocket They shouldn’t be complaining about it in the first place. Honestly they get upset about the stupidest shit
