5 Closet Items That Could Cause You Pain

June 3, 2009

Subscribing to the no pain, no gain camp of fitness is just fine in my book. But fashion agony? That's just unproductive. I'm all for looking cute, but not at the cost of extreme discomfort. Save the pain for the gym and avoid fashion-related maladies by rethinking these five items in your closet.

I don't think my skinny jeans have every caused me discomfort. You have to be proportionate and wear the right size. If they hurt you... you obviously shouldn't be wearing them.

Oh yeah, guilty of most of them but I can't do without the flip flops. I haven't worn thongs enough to be comfortable in them, however, tight jeans have to stay!

thongs feel like a permanent wedgie to me. i think that boyshorts take care of the visible pantyline problem and are a hell of lot sexier then thongs.

I don't understand how a woman can wear thongs all day. What happens after you have a bowel movement? There are times when I just can't get clean enough! And then have a thong in that same area all day?? Disgusting!

all of them are so uncomfortable thank goodness I don't have them, except for the tight jeans, and those don't get worn to much because of that.

I can relate to the heavy pocketbook. I feel the pain when my bag is too heavy. I did not realize for a long time what was making my back and right arm hurt. It was carrying the heavy bag on my left arm daily. Thanks for the info.

Tight jeans are very uncomfortable and can cause other problems and so can thongs. If you are large than u should not wear thongs because they don't look good when u have all that meat hanging out.

I wear thongs almost exclusively. Is it that bad?

OMG I just read this in that linked article: "When a woman wears tight jeans, tight underwear, or even thongs with tight jeans, Steiner said it can set up just the right conditions to move the bacteria from the anus, where they normally live, up to areas where the bacteria doesn't belong." HOLY CRAP, literally! Why didn't someone tell me this years ago? Oh man...i hate granny panties.

I agree with most of these. I must confess it's hard for me to give up thongs. I think they are so cute! I notice that higher-end brands tend to be more comfortable, and they last longer.
