sort of spinoff to washing clothes
do you think that the dryer shrinks jeans? My DH is insisting that his jeans are shrinking because I dry them. I dry them on med heat. Mine seem fine. I told him maybe it's him eating too much.

Re: sort of spinoff to washing clothes
No, but I still only dry them 1/2 way then hang them out because I hate having to "stretch" them all the way back out. Unless on some jeans that always seem to get so big after 1 wear.

Re: sort of spinoff to washing clothes
No way, I put all of my jeans in the dryer on low heat and they don't shrink. They tighten up a bit but once I put them on again, they start to relax pretty quickly.

Re: sort of spinoff to washing clothes
I think the opposite. I think they DO shrink jeans. I think it depends on the brand of jeans too.
I line dry all of my jeans, and now DH's too. I can totally see his Old Navy jeans shrinking in length, so I would imagine they shrink around the hips/tummy/butt too.
I dont want to risk it with our more expensive jeans, so I line dry all of them.
The cheap ones I'll throw in the dryer b/c I don't care as much about them.

Re: sort of spinoff to washing clothes
I dry them on low; by the time I wear them once, they are back to normal.

Re: sort of spinoff to washing clothes
I DO think the dryer shrinks your clothes...with certain fabrics I dry them on low for 20 minutes and then let them air dry (jeans, knits, dress cotton).

Re: sort of spinoff to washing clothes
IMO, jeans shrink even if you put them on low heat. they stretch out again after 5 minutes of wearing them.

Re: sort of spinoff to washing clothes
I think they shrink in the dryer
-- sometimes if I am wearing my jeans for like 10 days in a row (gross I know) I have to wash them just to shrink them up a bit, b/c they get baggy
-or if they just get out of the dryer, I put them on and do squats because they are too snug

Re: sort of spinoff to washing clothes
I also think they shrink. But I also think the dryer shrinks all my cloths. At first I thought it was because our dryer was 30 years old and didnt work well but with a new dryer still shrinkin. I try to hang dry my pants

Re: sort of spinoff to washing clothes
my jeans shrink if I dry them-- I usually hang dry them unless I want them to shrink a bit-- they do stretch out after you wear them-- but only if I can get into them!
