Ladies, I don't know about you, but I'm pretty tired of those slivers that women's jeans try to pass off as "pockets."

Seriously, how's a girl suppose to stumble around a bar and NOT lose her phone when it's dangling out of one of those tiny-ass pockets?

Meanwhile, men are walking around with their phones, wallets and leaflets of condoms stuffed into their spacious jean pouches. How is that fair?

Well, it turns out we don't have to live our lives this way. We, too, can stuff a ridiculous number of condoms in our pockets before we head out into the world each day!

Tumblr user Quixiiify came up with a solution to the pockets problem. In a recent Tumblr post, she explained, step by step, how to extend women's jean pockets.

Not to be overdramatic, but this woman is a freakin' life saver. How has no one done this before?!

First, she bought some jeans that demonstrated how utterly useless the factory-made pockets are on women's jeans.

Look at that phone. That phone is DEFINITELY going to shatter on the bar floor after the third margarita.

Next, she cut some spare fabric to the size of the inside-out jean pockets.

Then, she cut off the bottoms of the original pockets...

...and sewed on the new fabric to extend their length.

As she points out, it doesn't matter if your stitches look terrible because no one will see them.

Voilá! Usable pockets that can actually hold all your stuff!

Again, not to be dramatic, but this is LIFE-CHANGING! It's so simple and makes so much sense. I don't know how I never thought of this. I just resigned myself to a life of dropping my phone forever.

Bless you, Tumblr user Quixiiify. You made my life so much better.
