I've heard that to make jeans fit you better, you should sit in the bath with them on before you first wash them. Is this right? How long for?

Have them tailored. Jeans from the rack will not fit you perfectly. I've never heard of the bathtub thing, but even if it did work, the results would be destroyed when you washed them.

NO, that is stupid unless you are going to let them dry on you. You have to buy them fitted to you. You may have a small amt. of shrinksge when you dry them on hig heat but buying them to fit and not skin tight solves that problem. If you are shorter and low wasted buy low or mid rise jeans and try them on. I can't wear reg. jeans because the waist is too high. Mid rise fit much better and show nothing on me. I have to wear a belt sometimes if they are looser at the top. So, buy to fit and wash and dry on low heat if you are afraid of shrinkage at least the first time. Most jeans give a little so that shouldn't matter. Good luck. Also, all brands fit different and all sizes are not the same.

They used to do that in the 70's to get super skin tight jeans, it only works with origional pure cotton ones, most modern jeans have a lycra mix for stretchiness and that wont work, you'll just end up with wet jeans.
If you find some cotton only jeans make sure they are reasonably tight and get em wet then dry them on, they will shrink fit to your body shape. Be warned you wont be able to walk properly or sit down in them though honey!
Best advice is to get some super tight modern jeans with lycra so you can still breathe in them. Try Miss Sixty, or earl jeans. xxxxxxxxxxxx

OMG...now I've never heard of that one! But, why don't you just try different styles of jeans until you find one that fits you better? The jeans that fit your best friend great may not fit you the same way...no matter what you do to them, so get what works for you!

Go to a more expensive store to try on your jeans, a lot of times it deprnds on the maker of the jean on how they fit, one cheaper store I wear a 16, then I go to a higher price store and I fit into a 12, they also have different lenghts for shorter people at the higher price store, I fit into the petite real good, just right for me, where as the cheaper store they are baggy but fits at the waist.

can only do this if they have not been prehsrunk you will find now days that almost all jeans are. We use to fill the bath up with hot water and sit until you felt them getting tight then get out and drip dry in the yard oh and don;t for get to wipe up the spills

Hmm I've heard of this, but you have to go to a professional place and they custom make and shrink the jeans to fit you perfectly. I think it's a little more complicated than sitting in a bathtub however, so i wouldn't try it. xD

Agree with you Ridgely, in my day 1960"s sit in the bath for as long as possible and let them dry on you
Cold water I think?

when new
if you have us wranglers, or Levis, the best way is to go in the sea for 20 Min's and lay on the Beach in the sun till dry. we do that , I like to see my girlfriend wiggle out of them. cheap jeans will fall a part
