Do these shrink after washing/drying?

For me they're kinda like jeans: they shrink a bit in the wash but stretch back out after wearing them for a few minutes. No permanent shrinkage. I machine wash cold and line dry.

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

Not, that I can tell. Very stable. I dry them on a rack or very low no heat in the dryer.

Wash in cold water. Air dry. Do not put in the dryer. If you air dry they will not shrink.

Try not to machine dry any merino mostly due to durability issues. But trust me there is no better material for underwear. Shrinkage is minimal if any. They run snug from this manufacturer. Check out Icebreaker and Ibex for more comprehensive merino lines.

They do shrink after drying but it's a good thing indeed coz after wearing thise couple of times they become real loose. So i just dry them after wash.

I wash in hot water (no bleach, just Tide) and dry thoroughly and have not had any noticeable shrinkage. GREAT stain release! These are not designer kitchen towels, they're the WORKHORSE of commercial kitchens and should be he same in yours.

I washed mine as soon as I got it in cold water seperately in case it bled and then threw it in the dryer and did not exsperince any shrinking. Hope this helps

Yes, I dry them in the dryer on permanent press or delicate. You have to remove them promptly when done as they will wrinkle. That said I have left them in the dryer and after hanging them up they were fine.

After washing and drying, I didn't notice any shrinking at all. The mattress I have it on is a full size with a mattress topper and it fits great! I was thinking about buying a queen for the full but that would have been far too much fabric!

78% Poly, 14% Cotton, 8% Lycra. No mine did not shrink after washing. They will stretch a bit after being worn. Washing will return to original shape/size.

Mine did not shrink and I've washed them a lot. However, I only use cold water.

They didn't shrink too much when I washed them, before I embroidered them. I do plan on ordering more.

I didn't even look. I just wash mine in cold water and they come out of the dryer just fine. No shrinkage! They are super warm!

They shrink a little bit but not that much. They still are the size of a dish towel. Hope that helps. I have not bought paper towels since I got this.

I've washed & dried mine many times & they shrink very little. Now I don't ever wash with really hot water or dry at high heat, it's not necessary & wastes electricity. A grandma that knows. :-)

no it did not shrink, however I did take it to the laundrymat and used their dryer on a low setting, it took a long time to dry

They are 10 1/4" x 5" now since they have been washed numerous times. I don't believe that they have shrunk however. Hope this helps you out.

It does shrink, but you want to put it in the dryer AFTER you sew. This way the dryer heat will melt the little holes made by your sewing needle back together. I love this fabric. I have used it for homemade pullups. It is quite water proof. If my kid ever has a leak is around the leg holes or up the top. Never through the fabric. Those pullups have been abused, washed, dried and are still doing great.

My experience is that throwing them in the washer/dryer is no problem at all. They will shrink quite a bit the first time but that's why they are so huge. I even throw them in boiling water from time to time.

We have washed them, but we used cold water, and did not dry them. They did not shrink using this method. We use them for transporting lots of different items, and they have been very satisfactory.

We have washed them many times, and I would say there is very little shrinkage. But, I do wash in cold water, and tumble dry on low. They are really strong bags. We love them.
