01/28 The Baggy Pants Debate

Quote From: sharsherma

I have a 14 year old son who wears baggy pants every day. We are so happy this is the style.

My son almost died 4 years ago, he had a large section of his colon removed and now has a stoma and a bag. With the baggy style my son can wear jeans, the regular style of jeans leave no room for his bag, there is a large lump under the pants that is very noticeable. We love the baggy pants and shirts. My 14 year old who has been to hell and back can now where something that is comfortable for him.

We live in a very small town out in the country, there are the kids who wear baggy pants and then there are the kids that wear the pants that are so tight that I am in awe that they can even move in them.

Why are people so interested in what others wear?  Put that interest into your community or your own children, then baggy pants wouldn't be an issue.

Your situation is very "unique". I am sorry for your son's condition, and I pray he continues to do well. However, our society no longer has any standards, and it really is a shame. I am a parent of a teenage daughter, and she has to dress respectfully (according to my standards), as long as I'm the one who buys her clothing. Our young people need to have self respect, as well as respect for others. That's the name of the game.

Your msg struck a cord with me, so much so that I actually registered to reply.  My son also has an ostemy and he wears the baggy pants because they are more comfortable than than the tighter fitting jeans and yes, they help hide the bag.  He's not wearing them around his butt, but they are baggy.  He also likes cargo pants and, because we live near a military base, he can find old BDU and ACU pants.  Those are nice because they have adjustable tabs on the side.  He's even taken to wearing boxer shorts because they aren't as tight around the stoma as briefs.  Good Luck to your family.

The problem is not with the baggy pants.  The problem is with wearing pants so your behind is showing.  I have no objection to baggy pants.  I do, however, object to thinking its acceptable to exposing your boxer for public display.
