Are jeans supposed to be comfortable at the waist?

Wait…. I’m supposed to exercise in my soaking wet jeans to get a better fit?? I’m so confused.

There is a "jeans hack" that I do to make real denim fit my body -- when they are new, put them on and get in the bathtub, and then exercise -- do yoga and stretches. The jeans will mold to your skeleton a bit more and bend at your hips/knees.

to clarify --get in the bathtub full of water. get the denim soaking wet. exercise for 20-30 minutes, and then let them dry. they will fit like a glove.

This works! I am lazy but will do squats and lunges in jeans that are almost dry after laundry.

It’s not triggering, you just sound kind of dumb saying jeans are only uncomfortable if you’re fat. I’m a size 18-20 and jeans are comfortable to me. It’s not a matter of body size. It’s a matter of how the jeans fit and your own sensory preferences. I can’t stand stretch jeans because of the way they feel and only wear 99% or 100% cotton denim.

I think body type is also relevant (shape, not weight). I have a very straight figure and jeans that fit me in the butt/thighs are always too tight in the waist, which makes them uncomfortable. I'm not overweight.

I'm always reading reviews of jeans that fit well in the hips and are too loose in the waist, and I'm just like - well, I'm not an hourglass I guess!

Jeans are not comfortable.

I am a big fan of Democracy. I wear a mid rise with a stretchy waist. Any Jeans I wear need to have stretch and extra stretch at the waist band really works for me

I call them "structured" and wore them throughout the pandemic. I not only didn't gain weight, I lost a vanity 5lbs. Jeans for the win!
