A “cell phone” still sounds like something you’d have hidden up your bum to me.
Please tell me those are not a real thing.
Truly the devil’s panties.
I remember watching this TV fashion contest thing quite a long time ago. The host of this contest was this old, wrinkly French lady who was a long time veteran in women’s fashion (apparently).
So in the episode the upstart designers had to create… I think… Three fashionable pants for women. One of the contestants created all three of her pants with pockets, and I think one of them had some excessive pockets.
She was dismissed by the host immediately, before the model even wore any of the pants. Basically the episode was already decided, as that contestant got eliminated on the spot.
The reason? Well, that veteran fashion designer stated something along the lines of; “The female form is the most beautiful and powerful thing we have, and we can’t have pockets ruin that. It’s for women to accessorise with a handbag”.
This stuck with me for all these years, because I was so revulsed when I saw that. What a load of bullshit. A load of pretentious garbage.
Well now I have rage directed at some ancient French lady that I really don’t know what to do with.
She’s probably long dead. But her out-dated idealogies are probably still alive everywhere in fashion.
Not that I think she created that ideal. But she certainly did her part in propagating it.
Fucking scabs, I feel a similar sense of disappointment that I felt talking to women who said they didn’t vote for Kamala Harris or Hillary Clinton because their voices were too shrill.
If there was a market for it I’m sure some fashion company would jump on selling pants with pockets to women. It’s most likely women want to complain about this but won’t actually buy clothes with proper pockets
I know lots of women excited when they have clothes with functional pockets. If you want to get conspiratorial, the better reason to pick is bag sales.
Skill issue. Buy men’s clothes. Problem solved.
All clothes are gender neutral clothes if you’re not a little bitch about it.
Codpieces are not gender neutral. Wearing a codpiece is a statement about your gender, no matter what it is.
I’ve never seen men’s underpants with pockets. But I’m also not researching the topic extensively, so it’s possible this is a development in undergarment tech that I’m not aware of.
They exist, I’ve seen them at the store. Here’s a picture:
My swimming trunks has pockets. Does that count as underpants?
This just reminded me. I bought a skort a year or two ago because it had awesome pockets. I didn’t realize til I bought it, but it was technically a swimsuit bottom (albeit with a skirt much longer than I’d expect on a swimsuit.)
It has a pocket like in the comic - against the leg, normally hidden under the skirt portion. It also has a zippered pocket on one of the sides of the skirt fabric. These pockets are superior to those in any of my regular pants.
No!
I once came across a pair of some kind of synthetic silk man thongs. That had three pockets. One for your junk, another for your phone and the third for your dick and balls.
They were like 90 dollars a pair.
I guess it’s for when you need to be sexy and functional.
One for your junk … and the third for your dick and balls.
It took me a moment to realize you first meant “junk” as in “belongings.”
My first thought was, ”His junk’s so big it needs two pockets? Brag.”
Fucktional
I wonder if it’s talking about the fold in the front to piss through
No, there’s boxers with pockets at the store. Hanes makes some.
I dated a girl once who was amazed by the “pocket” in my boxer-briefs until she found it it was actually just the weird hole thing they put in the front that acts as a fly.
I have compression shorts that I run in that are the closest thing. Otherwise, if I’m just in underwear, or maybe a pair of gym shorts with no pocket, just throwing the phone in the waistband is sufficient. Just need something better for running.
Yep, just fold your waistband over your phone/wallet/whatever. Instant pocket
Picked up a pair at American eagle that did without even realizing it. Best pair of underpants
I think she found some sports underwear with a pocket to put a cup in
Just buy the pants that have pockets then, problem solved.
Sure, sure, but women get two prison pockets.
With enough cleavage, women get other places to stash stuff too.
May I request at least that money not be stored in any of these places.
Iv delt with boob sweat, ass sweat and unfortunately blood money in my time as a pizza boy years ago.
Women please don’t hide money in your bra/panties. It’s disgusting.
Men this goes for you too. Foot sweat money after you fish money out of your God forsaken sneaker is not appreciated
Wait, do people actually keep money on their shoes?
But I swear putting my bills in my gooch makes it smell nice!
Concealment Crevices
This is like the tap water of comics, yum!!!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocket
In medieval Europe, early pocket-like openings called fitchets appeared in the 13th century. These vertical slits, cut into the outer tunic, allowed access to a purse or keys suspended from the girdle beneath.[3] Historian Rebecca Unsworth notes that pockets became more visible in the late 15th century,[4] and their use spread widely in the 16th century.[4]
Later, pockets were often worn like purses on a belt, concealed under a coat or jerkin to deter pickpocketing, with access through a slit in the outer garment.
By the 17th century, pockets were sewn into men’s clothing, while women’s remained as separate tie-on pouches hidden beneath skirts.[5][6]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reticule_(handbag)
A reticule, also known as a ridicule or indispensable, was a type of small handbag or purse, similar to a modern evening bag, used mainly from 1795 to 1820.[1]
The reticule became popular with the advent of Regency fashions in the late 18th century. Previously, women had carried personal belongings in pockets tied around the waist, but the columnar skirts and thin fabrics that had come into style made pockets essentially unusable.
Love the mens underwear ad in the background. Abs! Beard! Axe! AAAARRGGG!
Is she getting mixed up with the fly? I’ve never seen a phone pocket, or any pocket, and don’t quite see the purpose
They exist!
I see plenty of women wearing athletic shorts that have a large phone pocket.
I don’t think they’re overly common but she must be referring to men’s underpants like this:
👅
That seam right down the middle doesn’t look like it would be comfortable
Yeah, but that’s the only way to get such hammock-like cupping around the boys. And apparently I don’t notice it. I had to check and it turns out all mine have them.
Damn the prison of gendered fashion. Get a utility belt
If I’m in my underwear I’m not thinking of putting my phone in a pocket.
Not having underwear pockets are the only reason I’m not in underwear all the time at home.
the elastic is stretchy enough i just stick it in my waistband if I’m home in my undies and for some reason can’t just use my hand to hold it or put it on a surface of some kind.
Yeah but it keeps sliding down bit by bit with every step.
