Always flying low? You're zipping your jeans wrong

No one wants to find themselves in public flying low.. it's always a wee bit embarrassing.. it even happens to some of our fave high profile stars *cough* Matty McLean *cough*

Ever go to a party with your best mate and feel confident and get your photo taken and have a great night and then wake up the next day to see said photo has been posted online and your fly was down the whole time? No? Cool. Me neither. Anyway, watch Heartbreak Island. K, bye.

HA! What a good sport ^^

Turns out, it's all down to HOW you zip your jeans.

The zip, which was first invented in the mid-19th Century, comes with a handy lock function that stops it from sliding down when put in a particular position.

All you need to do when your zipped clothes are fastened is ensure that the zip is folded flat against the interlocked teeth when facing downwards. It’s as simple as that.

If the zip is facing downwards but is slightly elevated, then you’ll probably find that you can still unzip it with ease.

However, when placed flat against your clothes, it will remain firmly in place and resist any forces attempting to pull it downwards.

WHAT?! It's that f***ing simple?
