More on the dangers of skinny jeans


Squeezing into skinny jeans can put you at risk for nerve damage, fertility problems, bladder infections, and even blood clots, according to Consumer Reports' medical adviser Dr. Orly Avitzur.  

On the Today show today, Dr. Avitzur weighed in on this potentially dangerous trend, popular with men and women alike, and spoke on why trying to be more "skinny jeans confident" might not be such a good idea. Take a look (right), and for more on the risks, read the "The dangers of squeezing into skinny jeans."
