Hmm... it doesn't sound appealing but it is tempting.
Do you have that one pair of jeans you love, but one day they just stopped fitting?
All of a sudden you can't fully zip or button your jeans and you must say goodbye to the once-perfect fitting pants.
Well, no more it seems, as one TikTok user has shared her granny's hack to getting those jeans to fit again.
It may a bit time-consuming and doesn't sound that appealing but she swears by it working.
TikTok user @Bug318_ posted a video wearing a pair of jeans that she said she bought in too small a size.
She then explains how she told her nanna about them, and her response was "have you showered in them yet?".
Her grandmother's trick is to wear them in the shower, wear them around the house to stretch them out and let them air dry, don't put them in the dryer.
And to her surprise, the hack worked:

And it seems this is an old trick, with one TikTok user saying "This is a very old hack, I’m 75 and did that with old jeans when I was in my 20’s".
While another confirmed, "My mum in the 70s always laid in a bathtub full of warm/hot water in her new jeans, then let them air dry to get them to fit perfectly".
Others are delighted with the news, as they reckon they can claim they're actually a size smaller than they are:
"Oooohhh so I’m actually a size 8", one person said.
