Question

Does this work with other pants beside jeans?

Community Answer

I tried it with polyester pants and it worked. You should try Step Two for work pants.

How long does the stretch last on my waistline of my pants?

Community Answer

For me, it lasts until the next machine washing. But it also depends on the material.

I have leggings and want to stretch the legs only. Any ideas?

Community Answer

Before you put on leggings, take both the legs of the leggings and step on the part goes by your ankles, then pull upward at the crotch to stretch them out.

Question

If none of these processes work for extending the waistline of my jeans and I want to purchase an extender, where are the best places to purchase them?

Community Answer

Many retailers sell waistband extenders that will help you get the waistband to the proper size. Try your local general store or search "waistband extender" online. You should be able to find waist extenders from $1-$5 per extender online.

Question

When I use the spray bottle method, do I have to spray both sides?

Community Answer

Yes, for best results, spray on both sides, then move around and let it dry. Spray the most on areas that need to be stretched out the most.

Question

Is it possible to stretch from waist size 26 to 28 in a mid-rise stretchable skinny fit jean?

Community Answer

That's an awful lot of stretch, it's probably not possible, but you can try if the jeans are extremely stretchy.
