    don't wear jeans, try proper trousers.
    The questions that get the best answers are the questions that give most detail....

    I'm sorry OP but I'm feeling slightly smug right now, knowing that it's not just girls who struggle to find jeans that fit.
    My OH can walk in to any shop and pick up any pair of 32x32 and they fit him perfectly everytime! I'm soooo jealous!

    as a fellow male, it doesn't get any better, wait until your nearer 50!

    My problem is my @rse is bigger than my waist so I end up with trousers that are too tight squishing my 'accessories' (I resorted to talcum to ease the friction!) but gaping waist band.

    Anyway I can live with loose jeans and a belt, the cheaper the jeans funnily the looser the cut, Tesco value are good!

    For work you can get Chino type trousers that have elastic sides, quite discreet as it just slides in out the sides. They are not too bad.

    Do like to slip into a pair of joggers by the end of the day though, let 'the boys' have a bit of a run around before bed time.
  • to be honest I've even looked at buttox botox to hold the damn things up!

    My DH had this problem with the work trousers he has to wear, they have no give at all in the waist and he has quite flat buttocks so he needed a belt to keep them up, but then they cut into him when he sat down again and as a lorry driver he really can't avoid sitting lol

    He got an elastic belt from B&Q, he wouldn't have let me buy it if he had realised it was £22 but it's made life so much easier. He's also allergic to the nickel in most belt buckles and it made a sore weeping patch on his stomach, which lasted for ages as he's diabetic, but since he changed to this new belt as it sits properly in the waist band it doesn't touch his skin.
