Should I go one size up for this particular pair of Uniqlo Jeans?

I'm currently in Shanghai and at Uniqlo I tried a pair of size 29 slim fit taper jeans that fits me very well. In fact, I would say it fits me like a glove. The only problem is that it's tight enough that I don't think I can put in anything big into the pockets or else I'll feel uncomfortable. I'm not sure how Uniqlo jeans will be after I wash them. So my question is, should I go for a size 30? If so, then I don't think the fit will be as good, but what's important to me is what will happen after the wash. So what should I do?

I don't know Uniqlo denim but there are a few threads on sufu for it. The general answer, however, would be that if the pockets are your only problem they'll stretch with use (both the thighs and the opening)

Oh? I guess I'll have to take a look later, but do you happen to have the link that might have what I'm looking for?

Well, I wouldn't say the pockets are a problem per se. It's just that the fit is so tight (not necessarily uncomfortable) that I can't imagine putting even a cellphone in there except the slimmest ones. Ideally the crotch area would be a bit bigger to give my jewels a bit more breathing room, but it's not tight enough to pose what I consider to be long term problems.
