Redditor Reddeerlady shared her style advice in a comment on the social media platform.
She said that the issue arises due to an ill-fitting pair of pants.
The fashionista also gave her tips to scoring the perfect fit every time.
She added her go-to brand for pants that keep her wedgie-free.
SIZE UP THE PROBLEM
Responding to a question about wedgies from wearing high-waisted styles, she knew it was her calling.
“All right, my time to shine,” she said.
“The issue you’re having might be due to the rise height. The waist band is the right size. The legs are wide enough for your hips and thighs and yet up they go.
“The rise height is the length from crotch seam to waist band and if it’s not long enough, it will attempt to squeeze and stretch. And it can, a little, because there’s a curve to the seam.
“There’s usually a little give from the base cut [and] sometimes it’s enough to make it work, if the rise is close enough.”
She acknowledged that most pants are typically classified as high, medium, or low rise.
However, she recommended looking closer into specific measurements.
She gave the example of a leg opening affecting the waistband.
“Often times if the leg opening has more give, the sides of your waistband will ride up because they want to be at the smallest point of your body,” she said.
“But they still have to kind of hinge off the crotch seam at a certain point.
“If you have a more pronounced belly you might also need to look into this, because a curved line is longer than a straight line.”
She gave an example of how she found pants that fit her just right.
“I think the only pants I have that truly sit at my waist without pulling are the cigarette pants from Unique Vintage.
“They don’t list the rise height, but on my pair it’s 16 inches, a full 3.75 inches higher than American Eagle’s highest rise, which is literally more than the jump from ‘lowest’ to ‘highest.’
“Now again, sometime sizing up can help because it gives you more room in the hip and it gives your waist band a little more length to try to reach/hold on to your waist.
“Usually you’ll get that V-dip in your pants when this happens, and it will start to look like you have a [camel emoji] toe, even when you don’t.”
