    My (expensive!) Spidi pants have zips at the bottom, and nylon underneath them that has an annoying habit of leaping into the path of the zipper, going up or down. It's usually OK if I carefully run my finger underneath behind it, but sometimes I neglect to do that (like when I'm in a hurry), and have to spend minutes sorting it out.

    BTW - zippers often stick when one or more teeth is getting loose and not lining up properly. When that happens, no amount of lubing will help - the only cure is a new zip.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    Being only 16, I'd guess that you didn't offer to kiss it better...

    Also try any spray with silicon,can will say suitable for zips,curtain tracks etc.Crc silicon in blue/white can,(not Crc556 which is oil based)any spray suitable for curtain tracks is good as it won't leave a stain on jacket or clothing.

    You need to read this article:

    James F. Nolan, Thomas J. Stillwell, and John P. Sands, Jr., (1990) "Acute Management of the Zipper-Entrapped Penis." Journal of Emergency Medicine, vol. 8, no. 3, pp. 305-7.

    A cute what?

    Anyway, fixed some of my stuck zippers the other day, and put my personal "blue shoe" recommendation as GT85 (teflon-based)
