How often do you use the small pocket inside your jeans pocket (if you have it) ? and what for ?

I put my lighter and guitar picks there. I sometimes put my ring in there, too. And flash disks, memory cards... Wow, I just realized I use that section for real.

Sometimes I put my thumb in it when I don't know what to do with my hands.

Pocket watch. Isn't that the intended purpose of the small pocket?

Everythingispenguins

It is called a Watch Pocket or a Fob Pocket.

Daily- I put my rings in it when I take them off to cook or whatever.

Bike key or coins. We call them coin pockets for a reason.

GingeyBook

Not the small pocket on jeans, but I do have some pants and shorts that have a small pocket fully inside the other pocket that I like to put my keys in

Keeps them from rattling around and scratching things

Dumbkid

Change, or a hairtie

radix

I put cool rocks in there.

Jesus Christ, Marie, they're not rocks, they're minerals!

All the time for my lactose intolerant pills

Every time I unintentionally find it. Mostly for being annoyed at it even being a feature.

I don't use a wallet and put my bank card and id card in it, I don't need anything else

Wolfeh

Extra weed cart.

Oh, second post: Steve Jobs taught us that that's where you put your iPod Nano.

I have a pen knife I use for work. It's an excellent fit for the coin pocket

I'd put a penny in there so that the pocket has a use. Otherwise, nothing.

Maybe next time an onion.

My biggest test for wireless earbuds is if the case is small enough to fit in that pocket. The usefulness of that is incredible, it's like they're not there.

BeMoreCareful

Another vote for earbuds.

Used to be for drugs.

I use it every day for a small Swiss army knife.

I keep quarters there; Iike to shoot pool in bars. Also my wedding ring when I take it off to wash my hands, cook, or do other work I don't want to wear it for.

I use it for a small pocket knife I always carry with me.
Also fits a vape, a lighter, your house key (when you want to go out with nothing else on you), a couple guitar picks, or a few coins if you use one of those fancy new wallets that only hold cards and bills.

In my younger days of hitting the club, I would use it every time I went out. Wallet in right back pocket, lip gloss in small pocket.

I never use it now. Now it's wallet in left back pocket, phone in right back pocket, keys in right front pocket, earbuds in left front pocket. If I'm working and wearing cargo pants, work gloves go in left back pocket and wallet shifts to a more secure left leg pocket, pens and box cutter in right leg pocket.

All the time now! When I bought my flashlight (Sofirn SC-21) I learned that it fits perfect so that's where it goes now

andrewta

Box cutter for work.

Moghul

Every day, for my in-ear headphones.

Archelon

I usually use it to hold a pocketknife or change

waz

I put my key in there.

Zippo lighter, to light my to-go joints. Sometimes a pen but most of my pants it's too short and it looks silly.

gregorum

That’s where I put my AirPods

Sometimes I'll toss a Zippo lighter in there if I'm going out drinking or something. Otherwise, it's unused. My pockets only have my wallet (which has its own change purse), my phone, and a handkerchief (living in hot and humid areas means lots of sweat wiping). Keys get clipped to a belt loop. I'm generally not carrying anything else and it will likely end up in a bag of some sort if I am (especially when I lived down in Tokyo and was away from home generally unless sleeping and was taking public transit).

Clip my pocket knife in it

I used it for my earbuds case for a long time. I don't buy many pairs of jeans and wore the same pair for most of the pan (I didn't leave home for more than a couple hours of walking and listening to podcasts most days, so they only got washed sporadically). It eventually wore through and frayed. I'll probably resume that usage when it gets warm enough not to carry a hoodie.

That's where I keep my pocket knife.

Back before smart phones, I also kept my Motorola Razr in there because it was just small enough to fit.

I used to only use it for random change I'd get on the rare occasion I'd pay for something with cash. Nowadays it's always filled with dog treats since my dog is nearly always with me.

I carry a small stone cicada in mine.

Isn’t it called the condom pocket for a reason?

andrewta

Also called a coin pocket
