If you don’t like tiny pockets, then why did you buy pants with tiny pockets? I seriously don’t understand the logic.

Men’s underpants come with flies and without flies. Those without are usually cheaper. If I want a fly, I buy those with a fly. I don’t buy underpants without a fly and then complain that I didn’t get a fly.

I believe you that pants with big pockets are hard to find and that it’s effort to buy them. But that still doesn’t add any sense to buying pants with tiny pockets.

Because I bought them 20 years ago at a deep employee discount at a time when I needed pants and those were the pants available to me. Retail price of both were about the same, except the bigger pockets were purchased within the last 2 years. It’s not that they are hard to find, they can be impossible to find.

If you had no options other than pants without a fly or digging through multiple stores to find the one style of pants that might have a fly but are the ugliest vomit color green and do not fit comfortably, you would complain too.

You’ve made the point clear to me. Thank you.

Because we still need to wear pants? And sometimes one doesn't have the time to hunt down the perfect pair of pants that are 1. affordable 2. fits well 3. is readily available and 4. has big pockets.

You are severely underestimating how many pants for women have these tiny pockets.
