Tight jeans are hard to put on and uncomfortable. Luckily, you can stretch jeans in a few different ways! If your pants still fit but aren’t very comfortable, do a few squats to stretch them out. Another way is to heat the jeans with a hair dryer, then stretch the tight parts of the pants before putting them on. To stretch jeans to 2.5cm waist, hips, buttocks, thighs, calves or length, you need to soak the jeans in warm water and pull the fabric to stretch.
Steps
Do a squat for a slight stretch
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/38/Stretch-out-Jeans-Step-1-Version-4.jpg/v4-460px-Stretch-out-Jeans- Step-1-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/38/Stretch-out-Jeans-Step-1-Version-4.jpg/ v4-728px-Stretch-out-Jeans-Step-1-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Put on jeans. With this method, you need to be able to wear jeans to stretch your waist, hips, buttocks and/or thighs, even if they are tight. Be sure to button up your pants before you begin to stretch. [1] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/75/Stretch-out-Jeans-Step-2-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Stretch-out-Jeans- Step-2-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/75/Stretch-out-Jeans-Step-2-Version-3.jpg/ v4-728px-Stretch-out-Jeans-Step-2-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Do the squat for at least 1 minute. Stand up straight, feet shoulder width apart. Bend your knees to lower your hips and buttocks as if you were sitting down in a chair. Make sure your knees don’t go over your toes. Then, press your heels to stand up and return to the starting position. Repeat this movement for at least 1 minute. [2] X Research Source
- You can do the squat for up to 5 minutes, although it will hurt a bit. The longer you do the squat, the more stretchy the fabric will be.
Variation: You can also do a leg stretch to stretch the thighs and butt of the jeans. However, it’s best to just add this move to your squat because it won’t stretch as much.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/4c/Stretch-out-Jeans-Step-3-Version-4.jpg/v4-460px-Stretch-out-Jeans- Step-3-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/4c/Stretch-out-Jeans-Step-3-Version-4.jpg/ v4-728px-Stretch-out-Jeans-Step-3-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Check to see if the pants are more comfortable. Stand, sit, and walk around in jeans to see if it’s comfortable. Now you should see the pants are a bit wider. However, the pants may still be tight if the size is too small. [3] X Research Sources
- If you find that the pants are not very comfortable to wear, you may need to warm up to stretch more.
Heat jeans to stretch just right
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/61/Stretch-out-Jeans-Step-4-Version-4.jpg/v4-460px-Stretch-out-Jeans- Step-4-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/61/Stretch-out-Jeans-Step-4-Version-4.jpg/ v4-728px-Stretch-out-Jeans-Step-4-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Spread the pants on the floor or bed. Choose an area with a power outlet nearby. Place the front of the pants face up. Spread the pants out so you can warm up more easily. [4] X Research Sources
- Beds are often cleaner than the floor, so you should choose a bed to spread your pants if there is an electrical outlet nearby.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/bf/Stretch-out-Jeans-Step-5-Version-4.jpg/v4-460px-Stretch-out-Jeans- Step-5-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/bf/Stretch-out-Jeans-Step-5-Version-4.jpg/ v4-728px-Stretch-out-Jeans-Step-5-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Heat the pants with a hair dryer on medium heat. Hold the hair dryer about 15 cm above the surface of the jeans. Move the hair dryer continuously while drying the pants so that the heat is evenly distributed in each area. After heating up the front of the pants, turn them over and dry the back. [5] X Research Sources
- You don’t have to dry both sides of your pants, but doing so will give you more stretch.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/42/Stretch-out-Jeans-Step-6-Version-4.jpg/v4-460px-Stretch-out-Jeans- Step-6-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/42/Stretch-out-Jeans-Step-6-Version-4.jpg/ v4-728px-Stretch-out-Jeans-Step-6-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Stretch jeans with both hands and arms. Grasp the sides of the part to be stretched and pull firmly in opposite directions to stretch the fabric. Move your hands up and down the jeans and pull each part that needs to be stretched. Another way is to put your hands inside the jeans, then use your arms to stretch the ends of the fabric at the waist, hips, thighs or calves apart to stretch the fabric [6] X Research Source
- For example, if you want to stretch your thighs, grab one side of the trouser leg in each hand and pull it apart. This move will help widen the pants.
- If you want to widen your waist, you should unbutton your pants and put your elbows in the waistline for easy pulling. Pull the arms out to the sides to stretch the fabric.
- If the pants cool down before you complete the stretch, reheat with a hair dryer.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/c7/Stretch-out-Jeans-Step-7-Version-4.jpg/v4-460px-Stretch-out-Jeans- Step-7-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/c7/Stretch-out-Jeans-Step-7-Version-4.jpg/ v4-728px-Stretch-out-Jeans-Step-7-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Put your pants on. Be sure to button your pants and zip them well before continuing to stretch them. Your jeans fit a little better now, but may still be tight. [7] X Research Sources
- If it’s too difficult to button, you can lie down on the bed and try buttoning while lying down.
- Do a squat or lunge for about 1-5 minutes to stretch the pants a little more.
Wet pants for maximum stretch
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/98/Stretch-out-Jeans-Step-8-Version-4.jpg/v4-460px-Stretch-out-Jeans- Step-8-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/98/Stretch-out-Jeans-Step-8-Version-4.jpg/ v4-728px-Stretch-out-Jeans-Step-8-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Spread the pants on the floor. You should spread your pants on the floor so you don’t accidentally wet the bed. Spread out the pants to make it easier to wet the fabric. [8] X Research Sources
- The dye in denim can stain when wet, so it’s a good idea to spread a trash bag or some old towels on the floor before trying this method.
- If you’re going to widen your waistline, unbutton your pants so you don’t accidentally pull the button off.
Variation: Another option is to put the pants on when wetting so that the pants conform to the shape of the body. However, wearing wet denim pants will be uncomfortable, and you must be able to wear them before stretching.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/25/Stretch-out-Jeans-Step-9-Version-4.jpg/v4-460px-Stretch-out-Jeans- Step-9-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/25/Stretch-out-Jeans-Step-9-Version-4.jpg/ v4-728px-Stretch-out-Jeans-Step-9-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Spray warm water on the jeans. Use a spray bottle of water to wet a small portion of the pants. Spray to moisten the fabric but do not get wet. Spray from the bottom of the pants and only wet one part at a time. [9] X Research Source
- If it seems difficult to stretch, you may need to spray again. You may need to spray more water while stretching if needed.
- If you have fabric softener, add about 1 teaspoon (5 ml) to a spray bottle of water before wetting the jeans. Fabric softener will soften the denim fabric, making it easier to stretch. [10] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/ab/Stretch-out-Jeans-Step-10-Version-4.jpg/v4-460px-Stretch-out-Jeans- Step-10-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/ab/Stretch-out-Jeans-Step-10-Version-4.jpg/ v4-728px-Stretch-out-Jeans-Step-10-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Stand on one side of your pants to keep them in place. Place your feet near the area you want to stretch. That way the pants will stay firmly on the floor while you stretch the parts that need to be widened. [11] X Research Source
- For example, when stretching the waist of your pants, stand up near the waist. If you want to stretch your thighs, stand on the side of the pant leg.
- Go barefoot or wear socks when doing this step. If you wear shoes, you can get dirt and germs on your pants.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/b1/Stretch-out-Jeans-Step-11-Version-4.jpg/v4-460px-Stretch-out-Jeans- Step-11-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/b1/Stretch-out-Jeans-Step-11-Version-4.jpg/ v4-728px-Stretch-out-Jeans-Step-11-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Use both hands to pull the wet fabric and stretch the jeans. Bend down, grab the pants with both hands, and pull with all your strength away from your body. Continue pulling across the surface of the jeans in each section you want to stretch, then switch to the other side of the pants. If it feels easier, you can use both hands to grasp the sides of the fabric and pull as hard as you can to the sides. [12] X Research Source
- If your pants are too tight, pull them horizontally, starting at the waist. Continue stretching to hips, crotch, and thighs.
- If the pants are too short, it’s best to start at the leg. Start pulling down from about mid-thigh.
- Do not pull the leech or the pocket of the pants, as these are weak points and can tear.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/68/Stretch-out-Jeans-Step-12-Version-4.jpg/v4-460px-Stretch-out-Jeans- Step-12-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/68/Stretch-out-Jeans-Step-12-Version-4.jpg/ v4-728px-Stretch-out-Jeans-Step-12-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Let the jeans dry before wearing them. Hang your pants on a clothesline, spread them on a table or over the back of a chair, and let them dry for at least 2-3 hours. However, it is best to let it dry overnight. [13] X Research Source
- How long it takes for jeans to dry depends on the moisture content of the pants.
- If you plan to spread your jeans on a table or chair, you should line a plastic garbage bag first to prevent the color of the fabric from spilling onto the table and chairs.
Advice
- To keep the jeans fabric from shrinking, don’t put them in the dryer, just hang them to dry. In addition, you should not wash your pants but should put them in the freezer for a few hours to clean the pants.
- If you can’t pull the pants over your thighs, the pants won’t stretch to a comfortable level. Stretching jeans has the best results when you only need the pants to be about 2.5cm wide. [14] X Research Source
Warning
- Be careful not to place wet jeans on light colored carpets or towels. The indigo color in denim can easily stain carpet or fabric surfaces.
- While it is advised to wear jeans and sit in a warm bath, this may not be a good idea. This method is very uncomfortable and also does not stretch more than the method of moistening the jeans with a water spray. [15] X Research Source
