Most of my pants have gotten big on me, but it feels wrong to go out and buy new ones when these work fine, so I’ve been wearing them with a belt anyway. The problem is that when I sit down they bunch up around my crotch and it looks like I have a massive boner when I don’t. Obviously, I don’t want this to keep happening and am wondering if anybody knows of a way to fix this. I have relatively little expierence with sewing or tailoring but I do have access to a sewing machine. Any advice would be appreciated.

    I think that’s what happens when you wear pants too big for you - the extra material has to go somewhere.

    I know it’s not intuitive, but taking in the waist - actually reducing the waist instead of just cinching it with a belt - can help with crotch bulge. You take it in in the back, so that the front is pulled tighter and lays flatter; some excess material is removed, and the rest gets bunched up in the back where it’s not as noticeable.

    I’d suggest practicing on a pair of jeans you don’t really mind putting holes in first - I totally screwed up the first time I tried 😆
