5 reasons why pockets in your clothes don't work...

and how to fix that ;)

I think we all feel that there are never enough pockets in the outfits we are wearing, on occasion. But are pockets in our garments really going to be the solution to the problems we're having?

 

 

I was wearing pants with pockets that day my spare tampon decided to take a little unannounced stROLL on the free weights room floor at the gym. *whoops!* So much for that... ;/ And have you seen those gym shorts and yoga pants with the zippered pocket on the back side? Doesn't seem to make much sense if you plan to do sit ups, or even sit down, at all...!


Away from the gym thing...while out working one day, I was wearing a Scottevest vest with a whole lot of pockets. I thought it was great until I literally lost my sunglasses in it. And I couldn't remember which pocket my glasses were in for the life of me. Sometimes more isn't more. And sometimes less isn't less.

As we all know...pocket fail happens... that's the reality. let me count the ways:

pocket fail leads people to look for solutions ....
1. Your things don’t fit.
These days, practically everyone carries a cell phone. And some smart phones are getting larger. Even though they’re still relatively small (let’s say compared to a toaster ;) every inch counts! Ever try to put a Galaxy phone into a pants pocket?

2. Your things fall out.
When you sit in your car. or lay on that bench at the gym. or ride on that roller coaster.
Here comes the whoops.

3. You can’t bend.
Pockets are often right by the hips, so you can easily put your hands in them. Which is a good! The trouble starts when you want to use those same pockets to put your things. which means it’s right where you’re trying to bend when you sit. So that’s bad :(

4. It gets uncomfortable.
Keys jab. Phones and wallets feel bulky in small spaces and get sweaty when worn too close to the skin. Now you’re sitting on your stuff and getting sciatica.

5. It just doesn’t look good.
Isn’t it fun to find clothing with pretty pockets? Or one that has discreet pockets so you don’t ruin the line of the outfit? Seems like a WIN! At least until you actually use them to put your things. Let the bulges begin…
!
So that's my rant. But I can't imagine I'm the only one who feels this way...how about you?
...
Have you ever had a "situation" like any of these?

* Has your cell fallen into the toilet?

* Money fallen out of your pocket?

* Tampon made an unscheduled appearance?

* Coins rained down on an amusement park ride?

* Wallet caused back or butt problems?
