How do you put your pants on?

[Ronni]

And if anyone says one leg at a time, c’mere so I can smack you!

A friend mentioned having to get a footstool for her bedroom because she has to sit down now to put her pants and undies on because of balance issues, creaky joints etc.

I’m still doing it standing up, but I wondered about the rest of you?

ha!...so funny you got this post...i always measure my old ageness by my ability to stand on one foot and get those on.....
i can still...but i choose to sit!

 

[Aunt Bea]

Sometimes I stand.

Sometimes I sit on the edge of the bed and get everything staged along with my socks.

"I see people my age out there climbing mountains and zip-lining and here I am feeling good about myself because I got my leg through my underwear ~ without losing my balance." - Unknown

Pants= Knickers here.... I'm usually sitting when I put those on...

Trousers or jeans.. I put on sometimes standing sometimes sitting on the bed... more often sitting on the bed...

When at home, I start by standing up...but I end up sitting down for the 2nd leg.

When at the masseuse's I stand, or rather lean against the massage table. Very carefully.

I too have a balance problem, so sitting on the bed or leaning against a wall works, a weird thread!

 

[jujube]

I throw them into the air, take a running start, do a double flip and land with both legs in the pants.

Now, for my next giant lie, let me tell you how I put my shoes on......

@Ronni, It's the DANCE TRAINING that gave us the balance to not sit when we dress. Don't ya think?
Somehow, That gave us a wonderful sense of balance. We can do high kicks too!
Like Bingo said, "It's a measure of our ageness."

 

[Snow74]

it depends....if I am putting on pajama bottoms the leg is wide so standing is fine...if on the other hand it is leggings...I still stand but lean against a wall .....

sitting on edge of bed

OK ........ consider me smacked ...... as one leg at a time ........ was my first thought. .

Now comedy asside ........ I usually do it standing , leaning on something, and of course one leg at a time ........ very carefully !

More slowly than I used to!

Something like this, maybe?

Learned how firemen set theirs ready to jump into. Tried that but fabric softener made my pants to floppy. Now I stand or sit on my bed. Depends on how much of a hurry I'm in.

 

[AprilSun]

I can put them on standing but since I have to sit down to get my shoes on, I just do both in one sitting.

I will either put them on standing or sitting on the edge of the bed. It is according to how tight the jeans or pants are. The tighter they are the more likely I have to sit down to get them on.

I want a pair of trousers like Wallace's.

Back in the day I can remember having to lay on the bed just to zip them up...they were so tight!
Awww memories

Yes, I remember those days. Don't wear them that tight any longer.

 

[debodun]

Sit on the edge of the bed. Put one leg in, then the other, then stand a pull 'em up.

 

[Jules]

Usually standing. Might sit down if right beside the bed, though I don’t need to.

 

[SeaBreeze]

I can put them on while standing, but usually I sit when I put them on.

Easier to stand than sit for me ... If I'm by the bathroom counter, I'll use it for support.
