Jeans!

edena001

This isn't a specifically because of weight loss problem but at university I have no tumble dryer. I usually wash my jeans and then tumble dry them which tightens the waist and thighs up a bit, so they fit perfectly. But without my dryer I can't 'shrink' them. Any suggestions of way to shrink my jeans? I don't mind if it's a temporary solution just any solution is good!
(Note: I don't fit into the size down from these so I can't just get smaller jeans)

Buy jeans with a higher elastic content in the fabric. No need to shrink them, then.

Put them in hot water then wring and hang while still hot. As the cotton fibres cool they should tighten up the weave.

According to myth busters. Have not tested this myself.

These are elastic ! As elastic as they get without being jeggings. But obviously I stretch them when wearing them

They come out of the washing hot? But thanks for the suggestion

use a blow dryer on them when still damp.

How do the other students dry their clothes?

Can you find a decent public laundromat and run them through a dryer?
