Do these shrink after washing/drying?

Not that I have noted. The velcro secetion is a few inches long so I did notice while adjusting.

Yes, they most definitely shrink. I actually reached out to the company asking if there was a better way to wash and dry them to prevent the excessive shrinkage but they never responded. I was highly disappointed in that but the product it self is perfect for a male dog. The best I have tried. I did have to order two more belts for this reason and when I got them they seemed to shrink a little less but I hand washed them this time first and laid out on a towel to dry flat. I am not sure if they did some tweaking to the material but it seemed it shrunk a little less and the dye was not so pronounced with washing. My suggestion would be give yourself about 1 to 1 1/2" extra inches for shrinkage and wash first. It is a shame when you find a good product and you can not get the company to provide good customer support. You just have to take in to account for shrinkage and the color bleeding. The denim bleeds a good bit so do not put it with anything you do not want colored blueish on the first wash.

I don't dry the belts in the dryer. I hang dry them. They don't shrink but it gets tighter like jeans do. They are doing the trick for my pomm who likes to mark his territory.

The outer layer of fabric is denim. The inner layer is absorbent cotton diaper-like material. I wash these in a machine using hot water and I dry them in the dryer.There is slight shrinkage after washing and drying, but after a day, the fabric loosens and fits like it originally did.The edges tend to curl and the tinkle belt fabrics tend to be lumpy if I dry them in the dryer and FULLY dry them. If I take them out while damp and smooth them on a flat surface to air dry...no problem! I am so pleased with the results from using Tinkle Belts! I should have bought them a LOT sooner than I did! That would have saved me a LOT of frustration! The outer layer of fabric is denim. The inner layer is absorbent cotton diaper-like material.

yes they shrink but only the way that your denim jeans would. it's a tighter fit right after they come out of the dryer but much like our jeans, they tend to stretch out with consistent use until they're thrown in to the wash again. I was mine about once a week (we have 2 so we alternate them!)

I have been using these back to back since late July, with several washes in between and that has never happen to me. I wash them with a hot cycle meant for heavy cotton and then rinse a second time. I have never used a dryer on them, that could be why yours are balling up. I just hang dry for a few hours.

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.

No, they didn't t seem to shrink. I sprayed them with vinegar before I washed them and that really helped cut down the odor.

No, this shirt does not shrink when laundered. I wish I would have bought a couple more of these shirts, they keep me warm, I cant wait to use them in the woods for deer hunting.

Most definately. I wash them and put the in the dryer. Just buy a big size because they definately shrink. I thought mine were too big when I first got them but now they just about fit. I'm with you if I can't throw them in the washer and dryer I don't want them

I am not sure but mine did not shrink after washing it. I did however buy a king for a queen bed.

Bought these for my boyfriend. I've washed them a few times now, but never dry them and haven't had any problems with them shrinking.

hi its me again, i saw the other answer, hers has shrunk cause she has used the dryer, this is wool and under no circumstances should it go in the dryer or it will shrink, they do not shrink if you wash on 30 and just hang to dry

I have washed them, but I have not put them in the dryer. I prefer to air dry, but if you do I suggest you use the low setting to protect from shrinkage.

No they don't shrink. I love the towels very much but be careful in getting stains on it. Hard to get them out.Love the size and great for drying time.

Yes, however, make sure you hang dry them, do not put in dryer as they may shrink. Also you might want to wash them in cool or cold water

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.

Yes. I have washed mine several times. I let them air dry so they don't shrink.

Mine did not shrink. Not baggy, but a loose fit and super light. I wore them on the trail maybe 10 times and they have help up great.

honestly i couldnt tell if there was any shrinkage after washing, so if there was then its very minor! So measurements are probably before since they do need prepped before use.

I have dried them in high heat and no shrinking... It is a quality sheet by far and I have them for over a year and some months so it has been through lots of washing & drying in the machine.
