EVER realised the zip on your jeans is open and felt really embarrassed?<\/p>\n
We've all been there – but apparently there's a secret function on your zip to stop it from ever happening.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Sidney Raz shared the clever hack on TikTok and it's blowing people's minds.<\/p>\n
He exclaimed in the clip: "Here's something I didn't know until my 30s, zipper have locks in them."<\/p>\n
It turns out it's really easy to use them as well, in fact you might've been doing it without realising it.<\/p>\n
Once you zip up your fly by pressing the zip back down towards to tacks it locks into place.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
To put this to the test Sidney grabbed a pair of jeans and tried to pull the zipper open with it pressed down and with it left up.<\/p>\n
Amazingly, the zip stayed right in place no matter how hard he tugged at it.<\/p>\n
And Sidney wasn't the only person who had no idea there was a such a simple way to stop the zips from opening.<\/p>\n
"I'm 36 and didn't know this… just tested it and it works," one person commented on this clip.<\/p>\n

Who's walking around with the zipper pocking out?"<\/p>\n "My kids are five and seven and they knew this," another commented.<\/p>\nCharles & Camilla greet well-wishers at service in memory of late Queen<\/h3>\n
