  • It’s a combo of the pants being a poor fit, the pants being badly designed, and the pants being cheaply made.

    Fashion industry standard drafts a single pattern for each style of pants in size 2/4/6, depending on brand, then just size it up or down without redrafting it to account for body fat distribution being uneven. So even if it’s the “correct” size, it may not actually fit your measurements. Cheap fabric tends to have less structure, and it won’t hold your body fat in as well as a fabric with a tighter weave.

    You can get underwear with some padding that doesn’t squeeze around the seams if you want to avoid it.

    I personally find thigh chafing to be more uncomfortable, and cameltoe is more like a front wedgie. It’s more unsightly than uncomfortable.












  • I got t-boned by a SUV going 55mph.

    Cracked my skull, gave me a subarachnoid hemorrhage (50/50 on surviving those), cracked a couple ribs, lacerated my spleen, and broke my pelvis into eight pieces. Spent a week in ICU, then another two weeks in a nursing home and couldn’t stand on my own two feet for almost a year, went through the PT to relearn how to walk, then COVID hit.

    Found out that most of my friends were fake, outside of my partner, one person offered to help drive me to doctor’s appointments, and one person showed up a couple of times to chat through the year. Nobody brought food, or offered to help with the housework, or wanted to help with errands. Not even my family or my partner’s family.

    Because of the whiplash, I’ve since developed bone spurs in my neck that are pressing on my spinal cord and between that, the pre-existing brain tumor, and the TBI, I’ve not been able to hold down steady employment since.
