I own these, they’re Fabletics, not Hanes.
Kinda unrelated, but I found underwear at Walmart that has a holder for your cock n balls.
Absolute game changer.
What are briefs but a sling for your thing and a cover for your ass cheeks? I went back to them a few years ago after wearing boxers most of my life and they’re a total game changer. They keep everything snugly cradled and they don’t get bunched up around the edges like boxers when you’re a chubby dude like me.
No, I mean is has a pocket specifically for your junk. Like, it keeps your balls from sticking to your legs
My problem with those is they push your junk up and out a bit. Sure, it makes your bulge huge but the edge of the hole into the pocket is always there on the underside of your sack. Like a steering wheel in my pants, it drives me nuts.
The steering wheel drives your nuts?
A pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel sticking out the front of his pants. The bartender looks at him and asks, “Hey, you know you have a steering wheel sticking out of the front of your pants?”
Pirate looks at him and says, “Argh it’s driving me nuts”
Not unrelated, that’s a pocket of sorts
I don’t get this bs response. Too often have I seen my female friends buy terrible clothing. Yes women’s clothing fucking sucks, but some women manage to find even worse articles than the regular flimsy thin fabric that still manages to feel tight even when it is too big for you. Extra points for poor insulation and confusing parts. They enable that impractical pocketless shit.
I found clothes that better accomodate my wide ass in the men’s section, then I ever have in the woman’s section. I found the best swimming top, in the sports bra section as the swimming gear was just the same flimsy design. Who in their right minds would buy a top marketed for surfing, when the thing is only held together by a weak elastic rope made from the same fabric? You fall off once and your top disappears from existance.
I found that clothing in the woman’s section is uncomfortable, even when it’s too big for me. At least in the men’s, I find clothes that are comfortable, even if it looks bad on me. I’m done with looking good.
Feeling comfy will make you look good
Lies! Defeption! I look like a lesbian with a hobo vibe.
Nah you look like a comfy lesbian with a hobo vibe 👍
In an era where women have been grappling with the pocket predicament for years, Hanes seems to have missed the memo. The company’s decision to provide men with the luxury of pockets in even more male clothing has left women pondering the inequality of men having access to cargo shorts while most of women’s clothing has no pockets at all.
Literally nobody is going to stop you from trying on and buying cargo pants. You’ve always had access to cargo pants. You just need to buy what you want, and not what society deems appropriate.
Men’s clothing doesn’t always fit women’s shapes.
Mens clothing don’t always fit men either that’s why we have belts
Cargo pants have no shape?
That’s mainly in the shirts department, if anything
Well what if I want relatively cute clothes that also just so happen to have usable pockets?
They make them, it’s just each company that focuses on making them ends up going under, with a new one eventually taking their place, because not enough people are buying these designs.
I find more and more in my life that decisions made by very opinionated “designers” often dominate much more than most people realize, and I honestly think that’s a fairly big reason behind why a lot of name brand stores skimp on the pockets. God forbid someone be seen wearing their Women’s premium shorts with—gasp—a phone bulge?
It’s kind of one of those things where convention follows convention for convention’s sake, and likewise with innovations where it’s safe for the bottom line. It’s really hard to start a fashion brand; it’s a really, really oversaturated market. The issue is that if a company makes the “we have pockets!” its whole shtick, that that’s a very specific sticking point and doesn’t necessarily mean what they make is good.
I also don’t think I need to mention the side benefit to clothing brands that less pocket space makes handbags a de-facto requirement and thus another thing to be sold. Again, of course you can buy whichever clothes of which men’s will have pockets abound, but like, there’s a certain base level of wanting something fashionable that I think is reasonable, and that most men’s clothing fails to achieve even for their target gender.
Men’s clothing sucks ass. Walk into H&M, there’s 500 m² of women’s clothing for literally everything you can imagine, then there’s a little corner with: jeans (blue), jeans (dark blue), jeans (light blue), t-shirt (gray), t-shirt (dark gray), suit (black).
Then the neckbeards on Lemmy who exclusively wear the aforementioned fashion graveyard are like “just buy women’s clothing”, completely missing the fact that the average man does not even fit in most women’s clothes. And even if he does, it’ll probably be with a super saggy waistline and chest area (or saggy everything because most clothes assume tall=fat).
Even as a trans woman after more than 2 years of hormone (so absolutely not looking like man), finding women clothing that fits me is really difficult. It’s usually too narrow at the shoulders for instance, and too large at the hips
Am I missing a part of the joke or are there a lot of people here who don’t understand Tattletale is a satire site?
This post is the first I’ve heard of 'em.
It’s the first time I have as well, but check the other articles on the site. Also, this lemmy channel’s description.
Your go-to source for hilarious satire news on the chaotic world of kids and parenting.
I believe you; I was expressing a reason people may not have realized. Sorry, I was super high when I was replying, and probably didn’t make myself clear.
Alright, on sale in my size so we ball. Probably won’t come back to report but who knows.
They rode up my thighs as the day progressed. They held my phone somewhat securely on an hour long mountain bike ride through the forest, an occasional check was needed. Comfy.
none of my damn dresses have even the smallest of pockets. it’s bullshit
I know this doesn’t really solve the overall problem, but on Etsy you can find pocket belts. Essentially adding a cool looking pocket to your outfit.
Pocket belt? As in a fanny pack?
That’s what Big Fanny Pack wants you to think
What about Little Fanny Pack?
Them too but their lobby is less powerful
You women are not supposed to have clothes with pockets so you waste more money buying useless and expensive bags. I thought the capitalist strategy was clear since the start /s
