to feel stupid when I'm taking off my skinny jeans?

I finally got persuaded (by DD) that I wouldn't look like Max Wall in them, but taking them off makes me feel ridiculous!

I peel them down and then have to stomp my way out of them like I did when I was 5. Is there a more dignified way or am I destined to feel like a toddler having a tantrum forever?

Taking off any female jeans (except very baggy ones) is a very ungraceful experience.

nappyaddict · 11/11/2010 21:03

I sit on the bed to take mine off.

InVinoFerretsAss · 11/11/2010 21:05

I love it when I find mine on the floor the morning after a couple of vinos in two little circles on the floor with my pants and socks still inside them! Grin

Trust me, I look waaaaay more stupid..

InGodWeTrust · 11/11/2010 21:05

I peel mine off like tights, stand on one foot on the jean, pull my other leg out, then the other. Hardly graceful, or attractive. Makes me feel better if I scream at DH to get out because he's making me feel paranoid.

You should see me getting out of my jeggings - I can only use one hand atm, and it is v undignified. But since I can't do jeans up, it makes a change

Grin rofl @ InVinoFerretsAss

If I wore skinny jeans I would look way funnier that you ever could just taking them off. So don't worry.

marriednotdead · 11/11/2010 21:26

If I sit on the bed, they end up inside out while my muffin top explodes Blush

But I'm sure I will keel over in a heap in a Kate Lawler drunken style if I continue to stand up.

What a bloody dilemma Grin

ahhh the muffin top from skinny jeans. almost makes them worth wearing. almost.

nappyaddict · 11/11/2010 21:46

What you have to do is bend over seductively with your bum waving in DH's face. Then slowly peel them down to your ankles. Stand one leg and take off the other and swap. Wink

DH needs no encouragement, thank you

IGWT, I've got higher waisted expensive ones and still the muffin advances Hmm

All jeans should come with a muffin defence system IMO.

I didn't know such things existed-I was tempted to buy maternity ones in a smaller size! Where did you find these treasures?

MaMoTTaT · 11/11/2010 22:24

oh god I'm so glad you started this thread.

I bought my first skinny jeans a month or so back. Love 'em - but god I feel like a tit trying to get out of them

Grumpla · 11/11/2010 22:25

Hehehe someone needs to invent some sort of Heath Robinson device for this... Grin

when i was a teen, i wore outrageously tight jeans. one day, i went out to enjoy some rare snow, and got them soaked, and they shrank. i had to stand in the kitchen, hanging onto the work surface while my mum puuuuuuulled with all her strength to get them off.

yes, people could see through the front windows of the house as this happened.

yes, the cheap die had run, turning my knickers and legs splotchy dark blue.

no, my mum would not let me past her to a more private place, cos i was too wet & might drip on the carpets.

bet you're all feeling v elegant now, after that little story.

TrillianAstra · 11/11/2010 22:38

Thank angel, I feel much more elegant now!

kickassangel · 11/11/2010 22:40

just don't go out snowballing & let some teenage lads (or anyone) roll you down a hill in the snow til they're soaked through & shrinking painfully.

marriednotdead · 11/11/2010 22:44

Here but I now realise I got a 12 instead of my usual 10.

Can't imagine getting a smaller pair anywhere near me, and I have twigs for legs.

Saying that, I bought a cheap pair in Matalan today and they seemed to be fairly equal to the job.

Will have to get a pair that finishes just under my bra to combat the muffin. Now that would make some viewing Grin

Ny dh just read this over my shoulder and said; "I don't understand what the muffin is". THAT RIGHT THERE IS WHY I MARRIED HIM!

kickassangel · 11/11/2010 23:00

putting them on should be like pulling up a pair of tights, but harder.

TmiEdward · 11/11/2010 23:02

IGWT, you have yourself a keeper!

scaryjane · 11/11/2010 23:11

cor, looking at that link married, imagine how much harder it is for the poor sod who has to put them on / peel them off the mannequin ?!

SirBoobAlot · 11/11/2010 23:19

IGWT we must clone him and sell him to women everywhere.

Kissass sorry but am PMSL at that Grin

I am far too fat for skinny jeans. And everyone I always see wearing them looks uncomfortable - like they have a permanent wedgie.

Agree there is no way to take off any jeans elegantly.
