Too tight? So you can widen a pair of jeans

Which woman does not know that: There you see a great pair of jeans, in the best case even on sale, and can not resist a purchase. So that this looks particularly crisp and conjures up a nice butt, we prefer to wear it tight fitting. And since she always thinks she would want to lose two or three kilos anyway, she will then buy a number too small. Weeks later you realize then that you have not lost weight, and the pants still pinch. A classic bad buy!

But that does not mean that the jeans have to be sorted out. Because: denim fabric widens when worn. This is due to the content of elastane. That means the jeans will expand over time anyway. If that's not enough, we have some great tricks to speed things up.



# 1: It tweaks on the waistband? You can do that:

A typical region where the jeans can pinch is the stomach. This is particularly unpleasant when wearing and also not very healthy for the internal organs. So here is a tip to loosen the waistband: This can either be applied directly after the wash or you make the pants especially for this purpose wet. When wet, the pants should be hung over a hanger or a special Bunddehner. In any case, enough tension should be built up. Then let the fabric dry in the air? finished!

# 2: Strong thighs? This helps:

If you do not have a waistband at hand, you can stretch the jeans over an ironing board even when wet. Then stretch the fabric at the waistband while ironing. The same works for the thigh area. The targeted heating and stretching will widen exactly the places that are too tight.



# 3: The jeans should be absolutely perfect? That's how it's done:

If the jeans should sit perfectly at every part of the body and actually pinch a little bit everywhere, there is still a very special solution. But this is also the most expensive. Wash the jeans (at 30 degrees to keep them tight) and put on while still wet. And then: wait. Keep the jeans on until completely dry. Meanwhile move extensively, so that the jeans really stretch and adapt to the body.
