Why does fabric get fuzzy at the crotch seam?
Fabric fuzzing at the crotch seam is usually a pilling issue, not a sign that the garment is dirty or that your body is doing something wrong. Pills form where fabric surfaces rub repeatedly.

Can waistband construction cause crotch bunching?

Brands in the database
Browse allSpecifications, then evidence, then a score
Full methodology- Step 1
Record the specification
Inseam, front and back rise, waist and hip per size, fibre content, waistband construction, pockets, opacity. Sourced from the brand and dated.
- Step 2
Wear it and write it down
Hours worn, washes, the size ordered against the tester’s usual size, whether it was kept or returned, and why.
- Step 3
Score with the basis shown
Each dimension is labelled “from testing” or “from specifications”. Anything unmeasured reads “Not measured” rather than being guessed.
