This is actually one of the few reasons I'm wearing them

EDIT: I get it, the consensus is that this is incorrect. I retract my statement.

~~Surprised no one has said this yet:~~

~~This happens when you put zip-up clothing in the dryer. The fabric shrinks and shifts but the metal/plastic zipper doesn't, creating a size mismatch that results in a bulge. Hang-dry your zip-up hoodies instead. I have hoodies that are close to a decade old and still haven't begun to bunch up because they've never seen the inside of a dryer.~~

my family hasn't owned a dryer in all the years i used to wear zip up hoodies and they still did that

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

going to shift the blame to the industry and not the user.

they overstretch the fabric, so it's bigger and any clothing item can be sold using lest fabric, however most washing will relax the fabric to it's normal size, messing up the garment.

No has said it because it's not true.

This always is happens to my zip-up hoodies, and i've never used a dryer in my life. I believe it's just that the zipper is stiffer than the fabric, so it does not fold the same way as fabric does.

It could be a badly designed hoodie as well. I started watching a YT channel that examines different clothing brands lately and I learned a lot about how the actual fabric choices and panel shapes affect the comfort of the clothing in ways like this.

does that affect my zipper stiffy?

Because they hide the boner

great for high school presentations

There's no shame in flaunting your hoodickie

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Just fold the bottom of the jacket in.

Or, you know. Have good posture lol.

Fellas is it gay to have a fake boner because of my hoodie?

The elusive stomach penis.

Just let your penis hang out so people don't confuse your hoodie for a bulge.

Speak for yourself, my husband’s hoodie is so comfortable and I will never give it up; except to my husband when he is ravishing me after I came into the bedroom only wearing his hoodie….

The real reason we stopped zipping zip up hoodies.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Some of my pants do that, its always a nice game of whack-a-mole trying to get rid of it. Also i dont wear zipper hoodies because i believe in the pull-over superiority

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

As a long time zip-up wearer and supporter, how is the pull-over better? I always find it way more annoying to put on and take off.

It's like putting on an extra shirt that then clings to your first shirt whenever you want to take it off so you have to work harder to not flash everyone when you take it off. For the zip-up, it just wraps around you and zips up. It's easy on, easy off.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

The zip up is more annoying - I stopped zipping them years ago, which means they flap all over and don’t keep out the cold or rain

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

I usually dont take it off and if you do that its much more cozy. Even during the winter i wear short sleeves and a hoodie and then during the summer i just take the hoodie out of the equation.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

That's a good reason to wear them along with stiff fabric that awkwardly wrinkles outward in the crotch area: fun to flick that in plain sight to enhance the discomfort of onlookers.
