Quads how do you zip up your jeans/pants

[wtf]

I need some tips/ideas what you use. I have been using a hanger for fastening and zipping up my jeans for all my quad years. But lately zipping has been giving me some problems. I seen Christopher on videos and he used a string of some sort to pull his up. Do most of you do that too? And what do you use to fasten the button. I need something compact too, because on my recent trip I couldn't bring my hanger, my bag was super small and it wouldn't fit. Any tips? Thanks

i've seen some tools for buttons, maybe look on the sammons preston site to see if they have anything.

you could also tie a shoe string cut to size around the loop of the zipper to hook a finger through.

i've always just kept my thumb nails long to help feed the button through the hole or if my hands werent cooperating i said screw it.

also, apparently macy's has cord jeggings? no need for zippers with them!

Good Morning wtf hi when I button / zip clothes I use a large paperclip with a bend(ring ) for my fingerto pull through the button opening or zipper up


I sometimes hide the paper clip under my blouse in case I have to undo my clothes for changing etc...

Lastly also I keep a few of these large ( big ) simple paper clips in my purse in case I accidently lose one or drop it

I do this because I have cramped up hands and it is easy to loop a bended up ol paper clip
because I get frustrated it is simp;le and works

Before my paper clip idea came to me .!

I've also used thin twine ( braided ) line tied right to my button / Zip and I pull the Zip
Oddly I do this for much of my clothes with Zippers / Buttons
Just my 2 cents

Have a Great Day
Sincerely ;
GL

i have used a string tied to the zipper but i usually use a metal shower curtain hanger. it is about 3" long and i un-clip the hook and put it through the hole in the zipper tab and zip up my pants.

Button Jeans
i clip the hook and push the small end thru the button hole of your pants and then hook the button....the metal hook will be under the button. pull on the hook to pull the button into the button hole and once one edge of the button pokes thru the hole i rotate the hook to pull the rest of the button through.
keep the hook flat when rotating it so you dont pull the hook off the button.

i use a button hook to do my shirts.




i use ones like these below but w/o the little rollerballs.

i use the button hook in the first link to do my shirts. i found out i put too much stress on it when buttoning my pants so that is why i went to metal shower curtain hooks.

the T handle zipper pull is nice.

I take 501s, cut out the buttons and use a shoelace to lace them up.

Take a small ring like those you put your keys on and have it put on your zipper. Catch the ring with your thumb or finger and voila!
