    *BUMP*

    Just remembered this thread from the summer.

    Have since gone all the way up to XXL male adult tzitzit (and I’m a normal size guy by the way; by no means fat/overweight) and they’re STILL coming out!

    So seemingly size doesn’t help.

    Anyone got any solutions? Somehow, this is still a nuisance.

    Right, well good to know I’m not the only one that’s been finding this a nuisance (I guess given that many non-Hasidim ‘tuck in’ that’s hardly surprising).

    If anyone can think of a better solution to simply buying larger tzitzit (which will probably work, but adding more material doesn’t seem like an ideal fix) please shout out.

    Haha, Curiosity!

    I spend a substantial amount of my time working in areas where (besides for being Sephardic) it wouldn’t be safe to wear tzitzit exposed (or a kippah, for that matter), so I can identify with pretty much everything you’ve said.

    I think in terms of irritation, the pecking order would go something like:

    i) One group of tzitziot coming un-tucked (which looks ‘stranger’ than having them all out!).

    ii) Just one STRING from a bundle sneaking out.

    ii) A corner or corners of the beged poking out (looks especially bizarre when contrasted with a dark shirt).

    iii) The riding up the neckline problem you mentioned.

    Thanks guys.

    Actually, I had a larger pair, a string on which snapped recently.

    This probably explains why I’ve only noticed the annoying ‘pop-outs’ this summer — because I’ve switched back to a medium pair which I hadn’t worn in years.

    So I think I’ll just buy a new large pair, or maybe even XL just for t-shirt wearing.

    It might be a bit baggy but it will be worth it not to have to re-tuck every five minutes.
