Do these shrink? And do you buy them to fit your size. My husband hates tight things and wants me to buy them 1 size larger?

I would assume they do shrink but I always wash them in cold water and Woolite and have had no problems. I am amazed just how warm these underwear were.

Mine didn't seem to shrink at all after laundering. If anything, they get a bit looser with wear, and then return to their original size when you wash them.

These don't shrink. They are designed to be skin tight. That is how they work. They don't feel like you're wearing them. Recommend getting appropriate size rather than larger. No problems. Very effective.

You should be fine with the Medium size if that's what you normally wear. I personally have purchased over a dozen pairs over the past few years and have never experienced any noticeable shrinking.

I noticed they shrink a little bit after their first wash but then they stay consistent. I just measured one of mine and it is 23" x 14".

They're not one-size-fits-all like someone else said. I'm a petite woman and a size small is not as tight as I'd like it to be. My husband is tall/broad, but has an average-ish sized face/jaw (?) and wears a medium. If your husband is a really big guy, he might need a large, but too tight is safer than too loose IMO.

my husband wears an 11 and he ordered an XL - they shrink in the washer or dryer. For yourself I would say med. but try them on and if they just fit fit don't put in dryer. My husband loves them and wears them every day.

I've already answered these questions!!!! NO zipper doesn't snag. Please don't ask again!!Don't know what material they are and don't care!! THEY WORK IN ALL TEMPERATURES AND CYCLES AND THEY DON"T SHRINK.

No shrinkage after washing. BUT, I machine wash then hang them to drip dry-no machine drying!

They stretch a great deal. I would suggest getting one pair and try them first. Hope it works out for you. They are nice.

My husband normally wears a med and I ordered a med and it fit him just a tad baggy so that way if it shrank in the wash he can still wear it. :) so I would say go his size or one size up for shrinking purposes. Good luck! I am really really happy with my husbands!

I think they do. I bought medium and was happy with them. The first couple times putting them on they will be more snug. But it gets easier the more you use them.

I've had my base layers for over a year and if you follow the care instructions they will be fine. To be more direct no they do not shrink.

I bought a pair a medium for my 42 inch waist hubby and they fit snugly but not too snugly. so I would guess a medium for you? hope this helps.

I buy these from my son, since he was 7 years old (now he is 10), so we went thru 000, 00, and now are on 0 size. I would estimate shrinkage at about 10% for the top and slightly less for the pants, for sizes 000-0, you may see couple points more on the larger size. I hope that helps.R

I am roughly the same size as you and a Medium will fit great when you first put them on (they do not shrink) however they become rather loose through out the day. If I were to buy another pair I would purchase the small.

I'm not sure I understand the question. They fit me well, because I ordered my size. So I would suggest ordering your size. If you order them bigger than you are, they will be baggy. If you order them small, they will be to tight.

I know what you mean - my FOTLs shrink up pretty quickly. Not these. They keep their shape really well. Good quality material.
