Brilio.net - The front of the pants is usually equipped with a zipper that functions to make it easier to wear. Once pulled up, the zipper will close and secure the pants perfectly.
However, in some cases, the zipper can be damaged, such as not closing properly or getting stuck, making the pants less comfortable to wear.
As a solution, many people immediately choose to replace the zipper with a new one. In fact, there is a simple way that can be applied to solve this problem without having to replace the zipper. A TikTok user @chonk_green_story once shared a tutorial on how to fix a problematic pants zipper through one of his uploads.
Solve problematic trouser zippers in a simple way.At the beginning of the video, he shows the appearance of the zipper on the front of his pants. Because it has been used so often, the zipper of the pants has become damaged. Even though it has been pulled with all his strength, the zipper of the pants will go down again by itself.
"It really makes me uncomfortable when I use it," he said, quoted by brilio.net from TikTok @chonk_green_story on Friday (4/4).

Knowing this, he admitted to having a special trick that he learned from a tailor. It appears in the video upload, this netizen only relies on one kitchen tool, namely a rubber band.

The application method is also fairly easy to imitate. First, insert the rubber band into the zipper puller hole of the pants. Do this process slowly so that the zipper part does not break or get damaged, okay?

Once the rubber band is perfectly inserted, pull it with your fingers so that the height is the same. After that, just pull both sides of the rubber band with your fingers. As a result, the pants zipper is perfectly closed.

Once the zipper is up, just insert the rubber band into the button on the pants. Twist the rubber band a few times to make a strong knot.

"Automatically, after we hook the rubber band to the pants button, the zipper will not slip easily anymore and the zipper will be safe forever," said the video owner.
To keep your pants neat and not easily wrinkled when stored, there are several folding tricks that can be applied. One effective way is to use a folding technique that does not leave too sharp crease lines.
Make sure the pants are dry and completely clean before folding. If the pants are made of a material that wrinkles easily, such as cotton or linen, it is best to iron them first before storing them.
When folding, place the pants on a flat surface, then straighten the pant legs to avoid any unwanted creases. Fold the pants in half lengthwise, then fold them again to the desired storage size.
If possible, use the rolling method to save space and reduce the risk of wrinkles. Store pants standing up in a closet or drawer to keep them neat and easy to grab when needed.
