My hard work paid off because this works GREAT and did not damage my jeans the way the wooden style stretcher might. I am a blue jean fanatic. I just love them and some cost more than I care to say. I recently bought a very unique pair of jeans that have a low waist, meaning the waistband sits much lower to the hips, so they were a little too tight to be comfortable when I received them. The key reason I chose this brand is because it clips closed around the button and button hole. The other wooden style requires you to button the jeans before stretching them. This puts a ton of pressure on the button and buttonhole, causing the buttonhole to stretch out and also potentially weakens the rivet of the button. Nooooo thank you! There is no fear of either of those things happening when you use the footfitter stretcher because of the design. I followed the directions by wetting the waistband but in addition to using plain water, I added a tiny amount of hair conditioner. Not a joke. This only works for cotton clothes (I also do it when my tshirts shrink in the dryer). You add about 2 tablespoons (or more) to a small container of water (for tshirts I use a plastic zip lock bag) and then make sure the conditioner has dissolved before adding the clothes. Keep the clothes in the conditioner-water for least 20 minutes (or longer). Take it out and manually pull the shirt or in this case jeans so you physically stretch it where you need it for larger. The clothes will grow like crazy because the conditioner softens the cotton fibers. Then rewash the item being careful not to keep it in the dryer too long so that it shrinks again! 🤣 Anyway, back to the review … So I wet the waistband with the conditioner water and let it sit without the stretcher for about 20 minutes so the cotton would benefit from the conditioner. Then I used the footfitter stretcher as instructed and let it dry over night. In the morning the waistband was a full two inches bigger! I took before and after pics and posted them. I heeded the advice of other reviewers before me and did not expand the device until it bent or made a cracking noise. But I did expand it until it was as tight as a guitar string! Also I figured I’d err on the side of caution and stretch it a little less if I thought the device was becoming too strained, because I could always stretch it a second time if needed to get the result I was hoping for. That’s wasn’t necessary though because the extra two inches did the job - in fact, maybe a little too good because now a belt is needed to pull them back in a little. I’m not complaining though! I wish this device wasn’t so expensive ($31.xx at the time of this review). But on the other hand it worked fantastic and did not damage my jeans at all, so a lot can be said for just paying the money for a great tool once instead of buying something cheap and needing to get new jeans anyway.

Once they are stretched they are good to go until the next time they are washed. **Q: Will this work for a small waist?** A: I have a small waist I'm foot 5' 6 And weigh about 130 pounds. I bought this device because someone gave me a pair of real leather pants and the waist fit tight. I got the waistline of the pants wet and used the stretcher and I was able to stretch out the length of the waistband about 1 inch. It work for me! **Q: Are the plastic pieces supposed to be perfectly straight? I just received this product and it's very warped. Is it damaged?** A: All my plastic pieces are straight and not bent. It most likely would not work right if the pieces are bent as you need the straightness in order to expand or contract the stretcher correctly. I would return it for a replacement, if you still can. **Q: How does the clamp part work? Does it open?** A: Simply dampen the jeans then open the blue/green knob and open clamp. insert jeans at waist band at top button and then tighten knob to clamp the jeans and stretch .

I think quality is OK but the stretch "screw" part should be longer because the diffrent size pieces are hard to fit into a pair of jeans that need stretching in the first place. Also, I am not sure they would work on anything other than stretch denim. ## Frequently Bought Together - FootFitter INCH-Master Unisex Waistband Stretcher - Easy to Use, Extend & Stretch Jeans, Pants/Trousers, Shorts & Skirts - Siyurongg Button Extenders for Jeans, 6pcs Pants Extender Button for Women Men, Jean Button Extender, Waist Extenders, No Sew Instant Waistband Extender Buttons Metal Silicone for Jeans Pants Collar - Waistband Extenders by Johnson & Smith | Button Extender for Pants | Denim Material | Pack of 5 Shades | Premium Metal Buttons | 2 Button Holes | Button Extender for Jeans --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/4949593-footfitter-inch-master-waistband-stretcher-for-jeans-pants-skirts-shorts](https://www.desertcart.us/products/4949593-footfitter-inch-master-waistband-stretcher-for-jeans-pants-skirts-shorts) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-11*
