Did it work? I'm about to try this tomorrow! I have one pair that got too tight because of weight gain and another pair I'm thinking of taking back after trying them on again at home and them being tighter than I originally thought. I love them and don't want to take them back. If the other target store has a bigger pair I will trade them out. Or I might look around for different ones. Idk I really like them though...😢
For me, a much easier way is to wash the jeans in the machine as usual, take them out and stretch the areas that need stretching while the jeans are still wet. Then hang them up to air dry. This can be done for jeans that are too short, also, by stepping on the hem of the wet jeans, grabbing the waist band, and pulling straight up to stretch them. Then hang to air dry. No need to wear them while wet, and instead you can sit in cozy sweatpants on the couch with a cup of cocoa while the jeans dry.
I am about to use a basketball and an electric air pump. I will spray a bottle of warm water on them. I will leave the ball inflated to the max until it dries. I will do a basketball in each leg. The bottoms of my jeans are fine. I have 33s 34s and 35s. I am so pissed. I spend like $600 on jeans a few days ago and I am livid. Jeans and boots make me want to throw things. Wolverine 1000 mile boots. I have bought two pairs of the wrong size now. 11 and 9.5. I am so mad.
Now I understand why my jeans grew a size when my girl splashed water all over me by the swimming pool and I had to walk around in wet jeans until they dried. They literally became too big in a day. I woke up thinking I had lost weight haha
Something that works also that works is you submerge the pants in warm water with fabric softener leave them in for 5 minutes then put them on till they air dry on you
I don't understand why you need to get in the tub or shower in them. Can you just put them on wet after putting them through a wash cycle, wear them for a little, sit in them, etc? Maybe I don't understand the science behind the shower/tub part, but I'm going to try this after washing them and see if it works. Less sopping wet. Hopefully it works!
@@Katie_Lee yes, I saw the tiktok video, but it made me think why do it that way, lol? I did it today, so I'm still waiting for the jeans to air dry. I think they loosened though. Time will tell. If not, I will be showering in them🙄
Follow-up here! The washing machine method worked for me. My jeans are looser! Wearing them wet/damp was still uncomfortable, but they weren't sopping wet, dripping water all over the house.
hmm I’m not sure if this hack will work or not since it didn’t stretch my jeans too much, but it wouldn’t hurt to try! maybe just try to wear them unbuttoned in the shower/bath and actively stretch the waistband? I’m not really sure if there’s anything else you could do unfortunately :(
You gotta wear your jeans to stretch them out and break them in. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Also it all depends on the material of the jeans that will determine how much it'll stretch. The girl in the other video never mentioned what her jeans were made out of. Could've been a stretchier blend and not 100% cotton. Not all jeans are made the same so this hack won't apply for all jeans. Best way to stretch your jeans is to live in them and never wash it.
The TikTok mentioned the tip was from her grandma (who was clearly around in the 80s and 90s). She didn’t claim it was her own hack. You gotta relax man
Same thing works in reverse too if your jeans are 100% cotton. You have to be submerged in a bath for 30 minutes and they'll shrink to fit you if you bought a size too large.
as I mentioned in the video, these were given to me by a friend because they didn’t fit her. they were just the slightest bit tight on me so I wanted to try this hack I saw online for myself. it’s all just for fun, nothing serious.
@@danglingbooger3865 you weren’t joking🤦🏽♀️ but when Katie replies you used it as a shield. Your tone was a clear indicator you were serious and tried to be condescending. after Katie replied you scurry off as a “joke”
Ever heard of gaining weight? It happens and sometimes your jeans get a bit snug. Who wants to keep running to buy new jeans every time they gain a few pounds?
I definitely need to try this hack out, have a pair of jeans that are just a little too tight but are so gorgeous!

yeah that’ll probably work just the same! I just did it this way because that’s the “trend” that’s going on haha🤷🏻♀️

@@Katie_Lee it will work the same if you want to wash your jeans! The idea is to affect the fit without breaking the rules on the care guide
@@Katie_Lee just
How do you think people got into skinny jeans in the 60s/70s? C’mon peoples 😂
Idk y I feel like ima get shocked ⚡️if I try this 😂

Dude here-I’m totally gonna try this!
☝🏻😄👖
Good thing drying them will shrink them when we decided to just LOSE WEIGHT 😂
They look good on you. (=
watching this while taking a cold shower in my jeans.
"TikTok shower hack" - they were doing this in the late 80s and early 90s? (For reference, see the film: The Commitments, 1991)
I just titled it this since it was a trend that was getting huge on tiktok at the time :)
Who cares?
The TikTok mentioned the tip was from her grandma (who was clearly around in the 80s and 90s). She didn’t claim it was her own hack. You gotta relax man

Not you keeping the tag on 💀
HAHAHAAH I KNOW💀💀
Take the extra time and take a normal shower
OR… now hear me out, this sounds crazy… maybe purchase a bigger size??
