Do you get holes in your tops while wearing jeans?

[onedaybaby]

I have ruined many tops when wearing them with jeans. I think it is the hard bit at the top of the piece that goes over the button and it rubs tiny holes in to the top. Does anyone else suffer from this or know how to combat it?

[paddingtonbear1]

I've not had this problem but dh has. We thought it might be his belt, so he bought a different one - no more holes yet, but he's not had the new belt long!

I always put it down to belts and carrying ds. So changed belts- seemed to do the trick

[notapizzaeater]

I dont wear belts and get loads of the little holes, just noticed some tonight in a top I've worn 3 times

[hippoCritt]

I thought it was a belt problem too

[dexter73]

I don't get this and always wear a belt.

I've been wondering what this was. DH gets holes in a lot of his t-shirts and now I am too after starting to wear belts more often. Between that and wearing out the knees in our trousers, we're throwing out a lot of clothes at the moment!

[whitelillies]

Yes - have had a few ruined because of it - it s also due to the fact that Our counter tops in the kitchen come to just that height

[notapizzaeater]

Thinking about it DH wears a belt and doesn't get it but doesn't spend much time at the countertop ......

We have had threads on this before. I mean that in a 'is a common problem' type way not in a 'yawn' type way

It is just a mystery where they sodding come from. I vote for a teeny moth that lives in you belly button and comes out for a quiet munch every mow and then.

Sorry! Did do a quick search but it's not effective on my phone. I want to revamp my wardrobe and would like to include jeans so hence the question. I've experienced it with and without belts. To save money, I guess I'll stay away from jeans unless there is a miracle cure. :)

[EllenParsons]

I have never heard of this problem!

[BackforGood]

Me neither!

[BloooCowWonders]

it's a problem that often comes up in the 'good housekeeping' topic. Some people think it's to do with the spray cleaners that are used on counters and table tops (in cafes as well as at home)

[oasisinthedesert]

YES! and been really thinking about it. I thought maybe moths in my drawer and so annoying!! ruined tons of tops lately

[JesusWept]

I have had this problem and put it down to wearing a belt. I no longer wear one.

[RomyMadison]

Oh I just discovered the other day my favourite top had a rip from rubbing on my jeans :(

[Byeckerslike]

I get this all, the time, i thought it was somethhing in my washing machine, obviously not!
I have loads of tops with a little cluster of holes around belly button height!

[dietstartstmoz]

I also get this a lot and have ruined quite a few tops this year. I have stopped wearing a belt hoping this will stop it. I have ruined some nice tops.

[Janet12]

Have this problem too- it is only on certain material tops and didn't happen in the winter but that could be down to thicker material tops being worn in winter.

I have actually had a new top that I have checked through the day to see when these holes develop and they did and I still don't know how!!! It's not moths as I stopped putting them back in the wardrobe and it happens on the tops I wear all the time and NOT on the ones left in the wardrobe!

[lilbreeze]

This happens to me too! I don't wear a belt and it particularly happens when I'm pregnant.

No idea if this is in any way helpful!!!!!

[schobe]

As I recall, the most recent mn survey on this suggested a preponderance of granite work surfaces in sufferers.

[FioFio]

are you sure there isn't a little moth living in your belly button?

[lilbreeze]

No granite and an outy belly button here

[Rezolution]

four or five wears out of each one That works out at £1 an outing! Am a bit worried by this as it makes me feel like a skinflint. My T shirts have been with me for four or five years.
