frontal wedgie

Groin-ward undergarment pull

A frontal wedgie occurs when underwear or tight clothing rides up painfully into the groin from the front rather than the back.

Also called a melvin.

Like the standard wedgie, it can happen accidentally or be inflicted deliberately as a prank or bullying tactic: He gave me a frontal wedgie in the locker room.
