You slip your legs in and all of sudden they’re just not budging over your thighs. 

You do a little wiggle dance and finally get them over your bottom but wait…

The front button and zip won’t let your stomach in.

Jeans not fitting? Actually there might be a better way.

Abby shows that they are loose around the front and back of the waist as she smiles very happily that the hack worked. 

Grandmas have apparently been doing this for years.

After wetting your jeans you’re supposed to wear them wet for at least half an hour. 

Not the most comfortable thing to do. 

But this method will stretch in the exact spots you need it most.

Using this method on a pair of jeans that may have been too small for you can help the jeans mold to your shape. 

It is believed that this old wives trick has been long lost with some people online suggesting the brand Levi’s used to recommend customers doing this to help with a better fit.

Abby’s video now has over 10.2 million views.

Viewers loved the idea but many expressed reservations on the 30 minutes you need to spend in wet jeans to stretch them.
