How do I fix a wedgie without being obvious?

Asked by holden (8450points) January 5th, 2010

This is starting to be a problem in my classes. Especially when I have to stay seated for up to an hour.

Help!

Wear some different underwear?

@jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities Now that’s gross! Bigger underwear would be better!

@jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities uh. no. Uncomfortable, and I’d feel self conscious.

@jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities I’m with you I have went commando if my underwear was beginning to be a problem. I used to be against it, but it is really growing on me.

I think you can buy small plastic inserts on www.ebay.com that keep your underwear out of your crack.

Pinch the fabric between your thumb and your index finger raise your butt up out of the seat. Let go of fabric and continue to raise from your chair. Everyone has had a wedgie and no one is going to think less of you if you adjust your drawers.

Just wear unders that won’t become a wedgie! You say it’s “becoming” a problem, which indicates it wasn’t a problem before…did you gain weight or something?

Pssh! You guys are no fun. ~

Except for you, @sjmc1989.

@Silhouette I don’t get wedgies from sitting too long!

janbb's avatar

@holden Nah – it was a joke.

Why not be obvious? Why not be like Rafael Nadal and embrace your inner ‘fixing wedgie style’.

Why would you want to?

@holden They do make underwear designed to not get wedgies. Link. I’m making the assumption that you are female, forgive me if I’m wrong.

just ram your hand down there and dig it out. no one will care.

hehe—its what I would do

Just adjust it through your pocket. That’s what I always do. :)

Just be glad you don’t have the opposite problem (what I like to call the anti-wedgie). That happened to me a few times last year, but that was mainly due to my tendency to sag. :P

Get up and go to the bathroom, and fix it there.

Wear a sweater or jacket. Take it off during class. Make a quick adjustment as you are putting it on after class when you reach around to put your second arm into it’s sleeve – no one will notice.

Why don’t you just ask the teacher to go to the washroom, fix it while there, and then come back? I suppose you could also get new underwear that is less likely to cause “wedgies”.

janbb's avatar

I usually find a discrete tug at the side of the back leg of the underpants does much to obviate against the wedgie.

Qboy94's avatar

what i would do is when no ones around pull up your pants and the problem should be fixed.

Sit in the back row

I would be in the back of the class and have my back to the wall when everyone is up- quickly undo the wedgy and sit down. Or just excuse yourself to the bathroom and fix yourself there. Lastly, get new underwear that fits you well.

Correction: The advise I gave was to a woman. If it were a guy, then try to be discreet and do it when no one is looking.
