Zip stuck!

catkins

I have searched for this honest but despite coming up with far too many threads to count, I can't find anything on this topic!

I have some black trousers only a few months old with a side zip and every time I wear them I have problems with the zip sticking. It's a real pain when I need the loo and when I go to take them off I always think I am not going to be able to unzip them. Any ideas?

rub a candle over the zip!

Hi catkins,

This older thread might give you some ideas: Zip very stiff - how do I sort this ?

I think I read somewhere that rubbing a pencil over it helps...

Or try the edge of a bar of soap.

Definitely pencil. draw on the teeth of the zip - it is graphite a lubricant.

Tried the pencil, I couldn't find a candle and yes it has worked! Thank you

Lol - did anyone else read the title of this thread and wonder how urgent it was to get the trousers off, or is it just me that's got a perverted mind? :D:D
