How can you stand keeping your wallet in your back pocket?

I keep mine in my back pocket when walking, and switch it to the front when I'm sitting. Or if I have my jacket I just keep it in my jacket pocket.
 
I usually wear cargo shorts, my wallet goes in the extra pocket that is on my thigh

If I wear pants or something without the extra pocket I will usually get a money clip out and just clip on my ID, maybe one card + cash and keep it in the front pocket.

Your dick must be huge! What was it again? 2cm or 3?

I've always had my wallet in my front right pocket. Lately though, I am running out of pocket space so I decided to try putting it in my back pocket.

Ugh! Do you take it out every time you sit down?! How do you not forget it places?


How do you stand to carry it in your front pocket? I can't stand anything in my front pockets! I don't even put my keys there. My wallet in my front pocket would look like a huge cancerous lump - people would be asking me "Do you have thigh cancer?".

And no, I don't take out my wallet when I sit down.

Not that I don't agree that men from that time are "manlier" than most today.....but back then they also thought it was ok to smoke non filter cigarettes w/o side effects. So does that mean you smoke one or two packs a day (I'm a smoker myself btw)?
 
My wallet is a little too big for my front pockets, not to mention my pockets have enough stuff in them anyhow. Big keychain in one, cellphone and eye drops in the other, plus anything I've collected that day.
I've had the same wallet my whole wallet-carrying life, and it's always gone in my back pocket. It never really bothers me... I'll take it out when I'm at home, but otherwise it's in my back pocket.

The only time I wouldn't keep my wallet in my back pocket was when I went on long (3+ hours) drives in my last car (ML430) because it had horribly hard seats and it actually hurt to keep it there. But sitting in my chair at the office for 8 hours a day is OK. I don't even notice it.
 
Well it's not like I use a George Costanza wallet, but I really only put my wallet in my back pocket when need be. Otherwise it resides in the glove box of my car.
 
My pants are baggy enough and my ass is small enough that when I sit down, my wallet sorta hugs the side of my thigh.
 
I only really noticed it when I had a tri-fold wallet, and kept a lot of things in it. I have had a bi-fold for a few years now, and if you keep it relatively clean it's hard to notice.
 
I stopped putting my wallet in my back pocket because I started having back problems from sitting on it so much.
 
for those of you who maintain that your wallet is too large for front pocket, GET A SLIM wallet, and carry less (NEEDLESS) stuff in it.. barely feel my Dopp when im carrying it. in also minimalist in other stuff, too -- slim phone, only single car key (go in house through garage) etc
 
I just take it out when I'm driving or at home. For the most part in class I'm fine though occasionally I'll take it out. If I wanted to go through it and take out what I don't need anymore I'm sure I could get it a little narrower.

Although yesterday one of my customers had a wallet I'd like to get but I can't find it. It's really thin and folds over three ways. The cool part is it has this criss crossing elastic band inside and you open the wallet, throw whatever in it (money, reciepts, cards, etc.), close it, and then it automatically inserts the stuff in the elastic bands for the next time you open it.

look at the previously posted amazon link...

one of the similar items shown is a "magic wallet".... take a look at that 😛
 
I?ve also always worn my wallet in my front pockets. To spice things up I may shift from right to left every now and then.

It feels awkward enough to have my wallet in my back pocket even when I?m just standing, I haven?t even tried sitting with one. But with my back I doubt it would do me any good to experiment. Plus it?s safer to keep it in the front pockets, as far as I?m concerned at least.

Just don?t be like me and store 30+ business cards in there. Every now and then people wonder what that bulge is on my side. If they ever ask you the same thing just let them know that it?s a birth defect where your wang grew on your thigh. And that we get together as a workgroup to talk about our deformity and the trials we have to face; we?re even working on our own Kama Sutra book. It?s going pretty well.

Go back problems? Put a wallet in the other pocket.

It's not like I have a Costanza wallet anyway.
 
Front pocket here.

I used to have a traditional bifold and it was getting big from all of the crap I put in. A coworker show me his slim wallet one day and it was so thin and light.
I did my research and I got my slim wallet from this guy on ebay: magic wallet

I can barely feel it in my pocket now. I showed it to my friend and he is a convert now.
 
most days i don't even notice my wallet in my back pocket. . . .every month i have to clear out the junk to make it thinner though
