Let's try it on ourselves

In order for jeans to fit you, they need to be completely soaked in warm water.

After this, you need to put on the trousers and walk like this until they are completely dry. It is best if you do some energetic movements like squats, bends and lunges, as during exercise.

This method is only suitable if you have free time at home.

Spraying water

The second method also involves using water, but you don’t have to put on wet clothes.

Lay the jeans out on a flat surface, pour warm water from the kettle into a spray bottle and spray onto the areas that need stretching.

After this, the wet areas need to be stretched as much as possible with your hands, and then the item needs to be tried on. If this was not enough, the procedure is repeated.
