Poll of the Day > Why do people use back pockets anyway?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Like, why on earth would you want to use a back pocket as opposed to front/side pockets? Why would you want to sit on your phone/wallet?

The worst part is when you see someone with there phone sticking WIDE out. Like what the actual fuck, do you know how easy it is for someone to just snatch that real quick? I just don't understand it.

Women's side pockets are usually really tiny or non-existent, so that's why I use them on occasion.

I'd answer your question, but it's probably not an answer you'd like or understand.

Which is dumb and I don't understand why women put up with it. By some male pants already

I doubt it

I'll put stuff like a receipt, or a single credit card, or a $20 bill in my back pocket. Never my whole wallet, keys, or phone though.

Because they know we like to look. It's pretty sexy TBH.

I guess it depends on where you live and or your situational awareness. Not too many pickpockets where I live.

But when I traveled to Mexico I used a money clip in my front pocket instead of the wallet in my back pocket.

They don't fit the same at all though. But I think just about everyone agrees that women's pants should have better pockets.

No. Not really. I may put something there for like 2 seconds to hide something. But I don't really use them. I don't want to sit on everything. Like my wallet and phone. Also, depending on how big your wallet it, it can apparently mess up your back. For me, back pocket are pointless. Also, it much easier for someone to steal something out of your back pocket. Even if you notice when they take it, you would have to turn around first. They could be gone by then. Especially in crowded places...

They have purses, anyway... Well, most of the time...

If you use back pockets, then you are legally insane

I use them when Im standing up and walking lol. But I dont put anything important in them.

To scratch my ass better.

Side pockets are more difficult to get stuff out of and something like my wallet is uncomfortable up front when sitting down. With a knife clipped in my right pocket only my left pocket is available to carry shit anyway. To get anything out of the right pocket I have to pull the knife out first. The wallet fits nicely in my rear pocket. More easily accessed and I don't feel it when I sit down. As for the phone, it's a good sized phone. Too big to fit comfortably in a front pocket. I just take it out of my rear pocket when I sit down.

All around more convenient and comfortable.

True. Most of the time women carry a purse or a pocketbook.

Gotta get bigger pockets. Haha. With big pockets, it's easier to spread the wealth between the front two. And still easy to get to when sitting down. I have the opposite problem, though. If my wallet is in my back pocket, I constantly feel it and it's uncomfortable. Sitting down is even worse. And back destroying. Haha. For my phone, even though I would feel it, I would probably end up accidentally sitting on it. Not to mention, depending on where I am, I can't always keep it out of my pocket. Like at work meetings and CCs...

Yeah. This makes it so they don't even have to worry about pockets. Which is good. Their wallets are usually bigger than's guys wallets. From what I've seen. Though, I do know plenty of females that like using pockets more, as well. But purses are definitely handy, and most use them...

For me it's more an issue of tight pants, not pocket size.

That could be an issue, as well. I personally don't wear tight pant much, if at all. Though, I have worn some that were... snug. They still had decent sized pockets, but they were tight, per se, so...

I wear Levi's and Wranglers. They have normal sized pockets. I'd have to wear something like cargo shorts, basketball shorts or sweatpants to get bigger pockets. Shorts and sweatpants are almost always only worn when lounging around the house. Cargo pants are only worn when at work because they are part of the uniform.

Idk which brands have the best pockets. I just know some of my pants have way bigger pockets than others... I can easily fit a switch in some of them. And I'm not a big guy. I would think my pockets are usually smaller since I'm kind of short and pretty skinny around the waist...
---

Honestly I don't use pockets anyways most of the time. Only a few things really go into pockets well. Cargo pants/shorts are where it's at though.

Otherwise really small stuff would go into back pockets, like paper or something.
---

Good place to put tools sometimes.
---

Keys and wallet are in the front pockets and I need a place to put my phone.

I use back pockets, but never for phones.

I wear tactical pants with DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP back pockets. Like stick your arm in to the elbow deep. So I keep my wallet back there because it would be nearly impossible for someone to pick my pocket without getting very friendly with me. And my front pockets are full of other stuff.
---

No idea! Wallets I suppose.
---

Wallet in front right pocket
Phone in front left pocket
Keys (only have three on the ring) in back right pocket
Notebook/miscellaneous in back left pocket

That's how I roll.
---

Back pockets are for temporary holding, like a pen when you need to lift something.

My wallet is always in my right back pocket. I've been doing this for over 20 years now. It feels weird anywhere else.
