• Part 3 of 3: How to Dry New Jeans

Jeans are made from thick cotton fabric, so often a new pair seems tight and uncomfortable. If the jeans are too stubborn, then they can be washed with fabric softener and dried with special balls. If you want to quickly make jeans soft without washing, then you will have to wear them as often as possible, ride a bike in them, or do deep lunges.

Steps

Part 1 of 3: How to make jeans soft without washing

1. 1 Wear jeans as often as possible. The time-honored method is to wear new jeans and stretch the fabric naturally. Wear new jeans every day or as often as possible. The fabric will soften faster if worn for a week, rather than once every seven days.
2. 2 Ride your bike in jeans. Jeans get softer even with normal wear, while cycling increases the impact. You will be constantly bending your legs and pedaling, as a result of which new jeans will be subject to additional stress and quickly become soft.
   • To get started, ride your bike in your new jeans for half an hour or longer.
3. 3 Take deep lunges in jeans. Put on jeans and alternately throw your legs forward to the maximum distance. In this case, the second knee should be pressed to the floor. Repeat these steps for both legs. The jeans will soften over time.
4. 4 Wash your jeans from time to time. Stretched denim becomes denser when cut. If your jeans are not stained, then wash them approximately every 5-10 days of socks. Do not forget to wash your jeans if they get dirty.

Part 2 of 3: How to wash new jeans

1. 1 Turn the jeans inside out. Check the label, but you usually need to turn your jeans inside out for washing.Washing will affect the color and appearance of the jeans, so doing this will lessen the effects.
2. 2 Fill the washing machine with cold water. The denim material does not shrink much, but it is best to wash new jeans in cold water. Set to half load and cotton mode if possible. Wait for the water to drain and then place your jeans in it.
   • For front-loading washing machines, there is no way to draw water first, so place your jeans in the drum and wash as usual.
3. 3 Add liquid fabric softener. Choose a product according to your preference. Measure out one cap of the liquid and add to the clipper. Stir the water with your hand or a spatula to mix the softener with the water.
   • When washing jeans for the first time, do not add powder or any other product other than fabric softener.
   • For front-loading washing machines, add softener to the powder or liquid detergent compartment to mix with the water during washing.
4. 4 Place your jeans in the washing machine. Place the jeans in the drum and press down to submerge them. Wait for the jeans to absorb the water. It is important that they become moist and do not lie on the surface of the water. Close the lid and start washing.
5. 5 Stop the machine when the wash cycle for particularly stiff jeans is complete. If your new jeans are particularly stubborn, stop the machine immediately after washing before draining the water. Then add some more softener and start the wash cycle again. You can repeat this action three to four times.
6. 6 Let the washing machine complete the entire cycle. If the jeans are not too stiff, the machine should be allowed to complete its normal full wash cycle. If you've added softener a couple of times, then again let the machine complete a full cycle (including rinsing and spinning) after the last addition.

Part 3 of 3: How to Dry New Jeans

1. 1 Leave the jeans inside out after washing. Take your jeans out of the machine and do not turn them back inside. Make sure the zipper is closed and the button is not open.
2. 2 Dry your jeans on a low heat. The high drying temperature puts excessive and unnecessary stress on the material, so set it to a low temperature. Use the mode for non-crease or delicate fabrics. Don't try to dry more than two pairs of jeans at a time, or it will take a long time.
3. 3 Add special balls or tennis balls to the dryer. During the drying process, rubber or wool balls will hit the jeans. This will loosen the fabric and soften the jeans. These balls are especially effective for thick fabrics.
   • You can buy special balls for washing and drying at the utility section of the supermarket or at low-cost stores.
   • Tennis balls will be a great alternative and will bring the desired effect.
4. 4 After drying, roll up the jeans with a roller. Remove the jeans from the dryer and roll them up while they are still hot. Lay the pant legs on top of each other and start rolling from the bottom to the waist. Do not unfold your jeans until they are completely cool.
