Science Says Women’s Pockets Are Too Small For Today’s Phones

No crap , Captain!  Did we really need science to tell us that?!

Scientists actually ran a study to figure out if women’s pants pockets were “compatible with modern smartphones.”  Spoiler Alert: the answer is NO.

They analyzed 80 brands of women’s jeans (and 80 brands of men’s jeans) and found that ladies’ pockets are 48% shorter and 6.5% narrower than men’s.

Breaking it down, an iPhone X only fits about 40% into a women’s front pocket, and a Samsung Galaxy would only fit about 20%.  The study found that men have it easier with their pockets being able to fit 100% of an iPhone X phone, and 95%of a Samsung.

Oh, and for the study, they used both men’s and women’s pant sizes with a 32 waist, so it’s not like one pair of pants was bigger than the other… just the pockets.

Thanks scientists. What would we have done without your hard work on this one…
