With every movement, the T-shirt rubs against these hard metal or plastic edges.<br><br>Pressure from everyday situations: Leaning frequently against kitchen counters, desks, or tables\u2014or wearing a car seatbelt\u2014compresses the fabric between the hard edge of your trousers and the object. This causes the fine cotton fibers to gradually break.<br>Delicate yarn quality: Many T-shirts today are made of very thin, fine single-jersey fabric. The short fibers used in these fabrics withstand localized stress less effectively than heavy, tightly woven materials.<br><br>The final blow in the washing machine: Everyday wear gradually weakens the fibers. During the spin cycle or through friction against the zippers of other garments, the compromised areas finally tear open completely\u2014making the hole visible.<br>Tips for prevention:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wear the front of your T-shirt loosely tucked into your waistband (the &#8220;French tuck&#8221;) so the fabric doesn&#8217;t get pinched.<br>Choose belts with smooth, rounded buckles.<br><br>When buying, look for higher fabric densities (a weight of approx. 180 g\/m\u00b2 or higher) or combed cotton.<br>Always close zippers and buttons on trousers before washing, and wash delicate shirts in a laundry bag.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Small holes in the lower abdominal area are usually caused by a combination of mechanical friction and the structure of modern fabrics\u2014almost never by moths.
