What's hilarious is I was just laughing at a comment thread about someone sharing the "boxers are good for 4 days" flipping method lmao
Just seems unsanitary tbh

I've started wearing molle pouches on my belt, so I have pockets wether I'm wearing pants or not.
I'm currently carrying 2 water bottles, my phone, my work phone, sunglasses, and several tools that I need constantly.
highly recommend, just wish they were available in fun colors and designs instead of exclusively tacticool bullshit.
I've seen a few molle pouches in bright colors, but not too many styles.
If you can sew, I think you could have a hell of a time on Etsy until Vera Bradley releases a Molle collection, lol.
We do? Since when? Where can I buy it?
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.

Truly the devil's panties.
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.
Hi. Person who has identified male my entire life here.
I have no idea what this "cell phone pocket" in underwear thing is about. Sounds like lunacy to me.
That said, give pockets to women who want pockets. It is baffling to me that this is still a thing.
Lots of pants out there that have pockets. They often choose not to buy them. And when they do, they put nothing in them.
For what it's worth, according to my wife and 4 daughters it's because it's because if you put things in your pockets like guys do, it ruins the lines and look. And according to our oldest daughter, it's why cargo shorts and pants look bad on men. And should never be worn.
I think I've seen them in some compression shorts so that you can run in loose mesh shorts. Can't run with your phone in those.
I've been given gifts of underwear with pockets. They might hold one of the old style cell phones, at the peak of 'small is best.'
Those are definitely real. All my underwears (trunks) have 2 pockets each and I can put my phone in it. FYI, I'm from India
I don't understand the use case. Do you often go around in only your underwear, over there?
Not really. Many times we wear something called dhoti on top of underwear (instead of pants). This dhoti does not have any pockets. In such cases, it will certainly help. Even when I wear pants over the underwear, having extra pockets is a luxury.
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?
I'll allow it. :) :)
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.

Skill issue. Buy men's clothes. Problem solved.
Why should women have to buy clothes that fit poorly and are uncomfortable just to get functional pockets?
To tank sales of women's clothing without pockets? 🤷♂️
And uncomfortable? Please. Our clothes are comfy af. Even when I order online, comfort is never a complaint. I've had problems with fabric, size, colour, stitching etc but never about feeling comfortable.
Our clothes are comfy af
Not if you have curves, unfortunately. You can size up and belt down, but then you're left with a ton of extra fabric wadded up around your waist and the belt buckle will ride up and pinch.
Fine. Wear cargo pants and rock the Kim Possible look.
All clothes are gender neutral clothes if you're not a little bitch about it.
