    Pants ripping at crotch?

    Over the past year or so I have destroyed 4 or 5 pairs of pants AND 4 or 5 pairs or shorts by ripping them in the crotch.

    The rips follow the seam from front to back, and aside from my massive nut sack I really can't figure out why this keeps happening.

    I wear them an inch and a half or so below my belly button (right below the gut) which I think is pretty normal. My asscrack is always covered, and I wear a belt that keeps them in place. I don't think anyone would say i'm 'sagging.'

    At the beginning of my recent pant destroying spree I was freeballing quite a bit, but worrying that my lack of undies may be contributing to the problem (and dealing with impromptu crotch rips sans that critical extra layer) has led me back into wearing boxers regularly.

    Unfortunately the problem continues, and I am now completely out of shorts.

    Anyone else ever experience this problem? Is there anything I can do to counteract it that's less invasive than full on castration?

    What brand are you buying and where?? I'd guess half of your problem is hiking them up so high. I don't particularly sag, but my pants sit about 4-5" below my belly button.

    Jesus. Giving advise on ballsacks busting through pants. WTF? It had better snow soon.

    I used to have that problem. Switched to wranglers, and despite the fact that they fit much tighter, I have yet to rip a pair of jeans since.

    Can't help you on the shorts problem though.

    Royal Robbins climbing pants and Royal Robbins climbing shorts.

    Double-seamed, reinforced crotch area. Much less panty-twisting.

    Problem solved.

    dude an inch or two below your belly button?

    you're gonna have to find specially sized pants to be able to handle that kind of hiking up.. jesus don't your balls get pinched by them being so high? sounds unbelievably uncomfortable but maybe that's just me.

    I don't know how tall you all are but two inches below my belly button is about where I wear mine. I definitely wouldn't call that 'hiking up'.

    Is the fabric ripping or is the seam ripping out? If it's the latter it's an easy fix.

    If it's the former, quit buying pants at Walmart.

    One word - gusseted. You know, with a panel of material sewn into the crotch to give you (and the boys) some slack.

    That's not hiking them up.

    THIS is hiking them up:

    QFT. Those of us with manly skier thighs and junk in the trunk tend to have this problem. I've got some pants from TNF with a couple % elastic in them and a gusseted crotch that seem to be money. Mk are 'spensive, but probably sweet and occasionally on sale.

    Go up a size and see what happens??? If you are trying to shoe horn yourself into a bunch of pants that just don't fit, then they are going to rip out easier...

    Otherwise- get yourself to a tailor if you do not have a sewing machine available.

    Perhaps more annoying is when you take a piss and don't adequately shake it, then more or less piss your pants.
    Happened today, I was all ready to head out and there's a giant piss stain on my pants.

    Are you getting Iceman's hand-me-down skinny jeans?

    These are so hot right now.

    I'm not tall, under 6' but I still wear my pants ~4 inches down from my belly button, I wouldn't consider that "sagging," just comfortable. If i go too high the same thing happens, I got big legs (skiing) and I've had that happen to me on shorts/pants that were slightly too small. You gotta be aware of what you're wearing too, gym shorts for hiking and stuff, pants for going out. Don't try to do chuck norris roundhouses or do the splits in your jeans haha

    Big legs and a fat ass will rip out your pants every time.

    Excessive thigh rub? Try walking like a bow legged cowboy for the next few months.

    I recently switched back to levi's. Levi 569's will solve your issue. I was an old navy whore for years and my pants wore out under my nut sack constantly. Im not sure if my junk is too big, too much pocket pool or too much nut scratching. Either way, levi's are the best jean's on the planet. I left them once I became an adult and moved to california. I came back once i was tired of of my jeans wearing out in the nut sack area.
