How do you loosen a tight waistband?
Use warm water to fill a spray bottle and spray the waistband until it's thoroughly damp. Start moving. Squat down, do lunges, pull each leg up to your chest, or do any other movements that will help pull and stretch the dampened waistline of the pants. Do this until the waist has reached the desired level of stretch.
