First month was brutal, like sandpaper and the waist band would dig into my waist / hips very painfully. They gradually improved until about month 6 and then it was like they gave up the fight and became sweatpants.

@Sunnergren thanks. I just ordered a pair from IH. I saw your measurements pre/post wash. Did the thighs go back to the pre wash size or did they stay at the post wash measurement after wearing? I know the waist goes back, just wondering about the thighs, top block. The

@Sunnergren I saw your pre/post wash measurements. Did everything go back to post measurements including thighs and top block or just the waist? Thanks

@jpvisual for my pair every measurement except inseam returned to pre wash. My waist actually surpassed pre-wash.
When I washed them two days ago I did 2 soaks, the first with a teaspoon detergent and the second without.
Then I washed them on delicate, 40 degrees, 400 spin, with small amount of detergent.
To be absolutely sure I got every shrink I could I washed them one more time, same programming of the machine but without detergent.
After drip dry, to bone dry, my measurements were almost exact the same as the first post wash. The waist was about 5mm larger.
Super happy with those results, no marbling or streaks and they feel so much better when clean.
Edit. All but the first soak was inside out.

@Sunnergren wow they stretched past the pre-wash measurements, good to know. Thanks!

@jpvisual Yes, mine did. Not much but noticeable so I started wearing a belt. I’m certain it depends on how you use and wear them. As a father of two small ones I’m constantly kneeling and similar to assist them
