Durable and practical jeans have helped each of us out more than once in a variety of situations. But sometimes even reliable jeans fail. And if you can still wear them with a hole in the leg (holes are even in fashion!), then scuffs between the legs have never been trendy. And they appear in this place quite often. And they do not delight with their appearance, but, on the contrary, become a cause of serious distress. After all, now comfortable jeans will have to be patched, or even replaced with new ones.
However, experienced women do not expect these troubles. They know how to prevent them, extending the shelf life of denim.
Why do jeans wear out?
To deal with a problem, you need to find out why it occurs in the first place. Why does the rest of the fabric remain intact, but in this place is worn out?
The main reason for this phenomenon is clear. Holes appear due to friction or excessive tension in the fabric from which the trousers are made.. The problem arises in several cases and is related to the model and cut of the jeans, the quality of the denim and the characteristics of the owner of the pants.
- Model is not my size. Moreover, if a large size of pants were chosen, they would be free in volume, the material would not experience tension. But if denim trousers are small, this causes holes to appear.
- Incorrect cutallowed by the manufacturer due to material savings is another reason. With proper cutting, excessive tension of the fibers in the problem area does not occur while walking.
- The fabric is not of good quality. These pants became popular due to their durability, because at first they were made of canvas. However, today unscrupulous manufacturers produce excessively thin material, which quickly deteriorates with constant use.
- Individual characteristics of the owner may also affect their shelf life. Excessive fullness of your legs, peculiarities of gait and even the peculiar habit of sitting on a chair can lead to the fact that your jeans do not remain intact for as long as you would like.
What to do to extend the integrity of jeans
Having determined the cause, you can plan to eliminate it. Let’s not repeat that you need to choose jeans by size and that not everyone can afford tight models. You yourself understand: if you know that your legs are not slender enough at the top, then it is better to put aside narrow models and choose classic or loose-fitting jeans.
Advice. If you have a problem keeping denim between your legs, choose models with a regular fit or high waist.
But we’ll tell you in more detail about the prevention of such a phenomenon.
Paraffin treatment
@pikabu.ru.
A life hack that has been tried by many requires a paraffin candle..
- Clean jeans (new or washed) are thoroughly rubbed with colorless paraffin.Apply it especially carefully to connecting seams.
Important! Paraffin is applied only from the front side! If the jeans are not new, and pills have appeared on them, they must be removed before processing by carefully cutting them off with nail scissors or a blade.
- If you wear jeans constantly, paraffin rubbing is repeated at least once a week.
Reinforcement with pantyhose flaps
Some girls claim that they have found another equally effective way. They are neat sew flaps from unnecessary tights on the wrong side. At the same time, they try to make the seam as invisible as possible from the face.
At the initial appearance of abrasion
Holes do not appear immediately. Having noticed that the material has become thinner, it is necessary to strengthen it. Don't expect a through hole! Take the pants to a repair shop or do the repairs yourself.
- On the wrong side it is necessary to apply a denim patch. The easiest way to secure it is with adhesive tape - “spider web”. Instead, you can use special fabric glue.
@Zen.yandex.ua
- Pay attention to washing pants It should be gentle, without using aggressive means.
- Avoid machine drying. It speeds up the process, but does not have the best effect on the safety of denim.
We hope that with these simple tips you will be able to extend the life of your jeans.

Elena, in my opinion, this problem was solved in a very original way by the personal driver of comrade Saakhov in the film Prisoner of the Caucasus. In the video, he dances and demonstrates the fundamental solution to this issue using the example of his riding breeches. Moreover, after repairing, you do not need to carefully wash and wear the item carefully.
Previously, the thick side seam was on the outside, but now it is on the inside. This is the reason for wiping.
I glue new jeans in these places with non-woven fabric and additionally stitch them. When the problem starts, I make an insert from a suitable fabric. That's why I don't throw away old jeans, at worst: from trousers - breeches, and from cut-offs - inserts.
Don't wear them alone for several years!
I bought several pairs of Levi's in England in the 90s. The inside label said “made in UK”. So they did not suffer from this disease. The Levis bought in Russia extended between the legs.
Let me explain for the aunts - it’s all about the eggs
LOSE WEIGHT!!!
change every week
In 91-95 I wore “POST” (Germany and some others from Finland), washed household items with soap on a bench. after washing (when dry) they stood)), it was real denim. I lit matches on my pants)), so until I grew out of them - I wore them for about 5 years, and worked in them - and I didn’t know that they could be washed in a cloth.

Canvas jeans?? Levi Strauss made these pants from tent canvas during the gold rush!
During the gold rush, Levi Strauss cut and sewed his first work pants from canvas, and then, when the fabric supplies ran out, he bought canvas from ships abandoned by crews in the port of San Francisco. I have a men's vintage Levi's 505 jeans from 1989, well worn and well worn, but completely intact at the crotch. Apparently, some people actually have body features that allow them not to rub themselves in this place.
What to do? Spread your legs wider when you walk... They don’t rub off on me...
Lose weight, why... Without varicose veins....
You need to spread your legs wider, that’s the whole problem.
The article is about nothing
Fabric is shit
I had Levis and US TOR and Wrangler and others, starting in 1980. And they all rubbed through there if you wore your size. And the jeans don't fit - it's a collective farm. So what about the English and American ones, supposedly they don’t rub off, that’s bullshit.
You can mend it in the studio, and there will be no holes!!!
In the case of rubbing of jeans in the cuff area, the only way to extend the life of jeans without applying patches, which give (in my opinion) an indecent look... is to stitch the worn areas on a sewing machine with a frequent (less than mm) stitch with a thin (60) thread - in the diagonal direction. The fabric becomes somewhat thicker and denser in this place, but the life of the trousers will last a few more months, which will allow you to get a replacement.
Well, sorry, I haven’t had crooked thin legs since birth
Nowadays everything is made from cheap thin Chinese fabric, BUT WE BUY what we can afford
I don't have enough jeans to last me a year. They are rubbed close to the seam - some are cheap, some are expensive. I am not overweight - 76 kg with a height of 174.
