How to Make Pants Looser
- 1). Wash your pants in cold water only. Hot or even warm water will cause the fabric to shrink even further.
- 2). Remove your pants as soon as possible when the wash cycle is finished.
- 3). Hang the pants by placing pins along the waistline. Stretch out the waistline as far as it will go when you're pinning. Take the time to stretch out the pant legs as well, taking care to smooth out the wrinkles and stretch out the fabric in trouble areas.
- 4). Put the pants flat on the ground after about 30 minutes of air-drying. Put one foot inside the side of the waistband closest to the floor and pull the other side up toward you. Stretch the waist as much as you can repeatedly. Flip the pants over, and do the same with the opposite side.
- 5). Put the pants on. They should still be damp. Engage in activities like walking or jogging in place and do some stretching. Do deep knee-bends, thigh stretches and hurdle stretches to loosen up your pants.
