How do you put your pants on?

[moviequeen1]

I stand and put pants on my right leg first Once in awhile I'll sit on edge of my bed or sit in chair by my desk

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

I stand, so as to strengthen my legs and practice my balance, which definitely improves with practice.

That's easy One leg at a time.

Balance problem so usually sitting on bed .
I wear leggings with longish tops when at home which is about 95% of the time and they are beginning to be a bit of a problem.
Think I will have to go buy a house dress or sumthin...used to wear them years ago...kinda nice.....

Since I have a bit of arthritis in my left hip, I always sit when putting on/taking off pants.

One of the orthopedists that I saw told me to ' not give into it' as it appears you practicing . Other than a cane, I'm not giving in either. Good luck with it !! & Keep up the fight !

I jump up and down when I put my pants on.

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.

My son (firefighter in CA) gave us the demo of the men suiting up as you described. The difference is that they have heavy boots that the legs of their suits are in, and the rest of the suit just pools around the boots, making it easy to shove their feet in the boots and pull up the suits from there! They’re FAST!!!!

Standing, one leg at a time.

Sitting on edge of our Hope Chest at the foot of the old 4 poster.

The challenge is tying my shoes as I'm paying for the sins of my youth with a stiff back....ha

 

[dseag2]

I put my pants on just like Sally O'Malley would put hers on.

 

[mrstime]

I'm 82, no standing on one leg to put my panties or pants! I sit on the bed for both!

Good point.

Apparently a lot of people fall over and end up in casualty because they tried to put their pants on standing up. I sit on the bed to put on tights (pantyhose) and trousers.
