Woman transforms jeans ‘2 sizes bigger’ with shower hack
You might never have to deal with too-tight jeans again thanks to this TikTok hack.
A sopping wet but clever trick for your too-snug denim has gone viral online — and entails hopping in the shower fully clothed.
TikToker @its_abby_abigail amassed 6.6. million views on a clip demonstrating the technique, along with the caption, “NOW THEY’RE SITTING 🪑 JEANS!!!!!!”
In fact, the jeans, originally a size 8, finally fit on her size 12 body, she boasted.
First, she climbed in the shower, and then with a removable shower head she doused her denim in warm water, doing a few squats and stretches to loosen up her drenched pants.
In the comments, she claimed she only wore the wet jeans for about 10 minutes before letting them air dry, which took two days.
Cutting to the final result, she’s wearing the fully dry denim, which is not only stretched out to fit perfectly but even has a bit of extra room for her to tuck in her sweater.
In the comments, some viewers claimed they tried the hack themselves and it “worked,” while others claimed they wouldn’t dare due to the “discomfort” of wearing soaking-wet jeans.
“It works!!!!! I did it!!!!” one user wrote.
“This is smart but omg the discomfort. Sensory nightmare,” commented another.
“It’s easier to take them out of the washer and stretch them in your hands before drying,” another offered, but Abby claimed they wouldn’t mold as “perfectly” to her body.
“I could hardly button these ones. After this I sat in them all day at work,” Abby said in another comment in response to someone asking if the hack was really a winner.
Next up, the money-saving denim diva said she’s going to tumble dry the jeans without heat instead of air drying, just to see if the hack will still work.
“I bought 5 pairs of the same jeans that were all too small so I tried this. Best trick ever,” Abby continued in the comments.
