We've seen the pics posted again and again, pointed out and ridiculed. How does one stop them from occurring (particularly with cotton twill)?
Is it a function of too narrow a tapering of the leg? Absence of cuffs? Discuss (and assist) SVP.

Call me crazy, but I wear jeans quite a bit -- distressed, raw, and all varieties in between -- and I've never experienced this issue. Maybe people's knees here are too sharp...

I have a bulge problem, but it ain't the knees.

I use duct tape to secure it to my leg above and below the knees.

Doesn't the marital aid rub against ********* and chaff though if you do that...?
