My partner filled with umbrage,/ Enlightened me with a warning./ If she sees one on my visage,/ Shred the pockets would she, in the morning,/ With tiny scissors she has around the house./ I’ve placed an order, she does not know, the poor thing. / WE SHALL SEE how ends this game of cat and spouse./
I wear compression pants that are basically leggings for men. They’re amazing and yes, they have a pocket. I usually get the TSLA brand on Amazon.
Ah I thank you for the brand name. I wear yoga leggings with pockets and I’m always on the lookout for a new brand to try.
Crash testing in vehicles are done based on the male physiology. Women are more likely to die in a crash because of this.
One 2019 study published in the journal Traffic Injury Prevention found that women are 73% more likely to be seriously injured in a crash compared to men.

I don’t know how relevant this is. In the UK 75% of all road accident fatalities are male. They also make up the majority of casualties.
Does the Traffic Injury prevention report account for deaths. It could be the case woman are being injured where men are more likely to have died. It could also be the smaller sample size compared to men influencing the results. The article only talks about individual people experience not the actual statics.
I can’t imagine it being that different from the UK results. Where men are dieing at three times the rate of women. If you want to save more life’s, male test dummies are more useful. The people pushing this issue seems to be a startup trying to sell million dollar dummies.
That sounds kinda cool actually, for being around the house.
I do often feel like I could use pockets when I’m only wearing underwear
This is a real need. It’s so annoying having to carry your phone by hand when you’re going from one room to another
This works as sarcasm and truth.
I tuck mine between the waistband and my body.
only works if you are skinny. source -me (a fat guy)
Thats what the fat folds over the waistband are for
Fabletics, not Hanes.
You can buy them online
The picture is actually workout shorts with a liner pocket for your phone which I am legally wearing as I type this.
What do you illegally wear?
Lol, OSHA says it’s dangerous materials, handle with caution
Alright, on sale in my size so we ball. Probably won’t come back to report but who knows.
I own these, they’re Fabletics, not Hanes.
Can’t they both have it?
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.
What women underwear would be large enough to have a pocket? Most are dinky small even if the wearer isn’t.
Boy shorts.
Tennis underwear
Anyone else picturing Lara Croft, with the short shorts and form fitting t-shirts but huge holsters and garters?
constantly
Since 1996.
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.
At least in the case of the women I’ve lived with: they just buy cheap shit. Mostly shein.
The market for “cheap, dogshit clothing that disintegrates in a few months and doesn’t have basic amenities like pockets” is much larger with women, that’s why the entire fast fashion industry exists.
For real. Cheap shit is cheap shit. And I agree women enable that shit. Though I found that clothes in the same price range, generally have better quality in the men’s. Thicker fabric, insulation, less see through, pockets, etc.
Feeling comfy will make you look good
That’s the irony of life
Lies! Defeption! I look like a lesbian with a hobo vibe.
Nah you look like a comfy lesbian with a hobo vibe 👍
JFC just buy men’s pants and get over it already.
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
none of my damn dresses have even the smallest of pockets. it’s bullshit
Why did you buy them?
the purse industry is in on this conspiracy
They literally are, this has been going on for a long time
If only consumers could use their money to influence fashion and design
Whatever, Polly P. Oket.
Glad someone caught that! :D
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
I’m imagining Batman
Lady’s batarang
Think either Batman or something like this , which basically adds pockets to your clothes.
You can add pockets on your own. Or if lazy like me pay someone to do it for you
Men on the internet: Keep your microtransactions out of our video games!
Also men on the internet: Why don’t you just pay an extra charge to render your clothes functional?
You mad bro?
But now you can wear this pocketed briefs under your dress!
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”
I need to try something like that but I haven’t found any in yurop
Not unrelated, that’s a pocket of sorts
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 seems you are allowed to.
There’s a lot of women’s clothing companies ran by women. Y’all aren’t helping the pocket situation when Y’all aren’t putting pockets in, either.
Men’s clothing doesn’t always fit women’s shapes.
Mens clothing don’t always fit men either that why we have belts
My girlfriend is always wearing things like jeans and cargos pants and stuff. So you obviously can get them. Oh and hoodies, so many different hoodies, and they all have pockets.
She’s wares a petite so I doubt their men’s clothing because I don’t think men’s sizes would go that small.
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.
Well, you can buy Patagonia, but the price is not something that you will like
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
It does suck that you have to choose 2 between pockets, affordable, and cute. I never really considered buying anything other than cheap khakis for when I want to dress nice and cheap jeans and cargo pants for when I want to dress utilitarian. It would be nice to have cargo pants in anything other than khaki, black, or jeans.
If the stroller moms who hang out at the local brewery are any indication, yoga pants with pockets are now pretty ubiquitous.
Go buy them? They do exist.
I do?
I buy cute clothes with pockets when I can, but they can be hard to find in person especially for more form fitting wear that I kind of need to be able to try on to know whether it looks good on my figure.
Some men’s skinny jeans suffice and do have bigger pockets, but often the overall piece shape/cut pattern is often just a bit off and, to be blunt, makes my behind look flat.
I do also have a couple pairs of baggy men’s jeans; my pair of men’s Ariats are arguably my favorite because they’re comfy but still well-decorated/ornamented.
