Just saying…if I’m going to buy “mom jeans,” that means they are cheap and comfy from a superstore, or comfy and not-so-cheap from a nice fat lady store like Avenue. Not $100 with transparent poly windows for my psoriasis and squito bites to be highlighted…:smack: ---

They’ve got it backwards. Put denim over the knees and clear plastic everywhere else- now you’re talking. ---

Weird. Where I live actual moms wear non-mom jeans with about 80% of the material missing but it’s cut/ripped out all over the place, not in a uniform rectangle, and certainly doesn’t need a plastic cover. ---

> [@bienville](#): > > I can’t help but wonder if these aren’t actually meant to sell but, rather, meant to drive traffic to the site. In addition to this Thread, I’ve seen it shared by a few different people on social media- never in a “Wow! These are great!” kind of a way but always in a “WTF!?!?” kind of a way. > > But, even though people are sharing it to say WTF?, the link still gets clicked on. Other products are visible in the sidebar once you follow the link. So, I’m sure some people follow the link to gape and say “That’s so ridiculous!” but then go on the browse the rest of the merchandise. Good point. Even better if it’s an affiliate link with a long cookie. ---

A little ahead of the curve. Knee lasers are just coming into fashion. These pants will be hot sellers once that laser trend extends out from Miami into cooler climes where shorts aren’t practical. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/umm-what-clear-knee-mom-jeans/782954.md?page=2)
