Do EZ Whelp pads shrink after multiple launderings?

not at all - no shrinkagehowever I do not leave them in the dryer for FULL CYCLE - I take them out after about 10-15 minutes and usually just damp and they dry quickly on their own. very good product just bought 2 more

No, they do NOT shrink. I think the key is to NEVER wash them in hot water or dry them on high heat-- and they will clean up BEAUTIFULLY, keep their shape, and still lie flat!

I did not notice any shrinkage. I have had my pads for well over a year and the still look and smell like new!

Nope. I've been washing mine every three days and they look new.I wash them in hot water and double dry them on high.
1650227
Nope. I didn't measure it either, but I didn't notice anything in the way of shrinking.

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.

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.

The top quilted area of the pad will shrink a bit in the wash even in cold wash and hang dry. However, it still fit the crib mattress after shrinking. Just left about a quarter inch around the mattress covered only by stretchie fitted part.

I didn't notice any substantial shrinking at all, but they also didn't fluff up like they claimed. I use them for rags. G. Peterson

The pads should last for many years. Any lint the Buffer Bit gives off goes away after the first couple of uses. Try washing the pads first if this is a problem.

Yes, the pads are completely washable and easy to deal with, however, I don't dry them. I simply throw them in e white load with bleach and pull them out and let them air dry or just use them from the washer.

I ordered the large, and after many uses and washes they have shrunk a little but still work well for us. it's more like 13×5 now. I also have noticed after washing and drying in a dryer, 1. They take much longer to dry but I have to pull them a bit and straighten them out, which is something Ive never had to do for microfiber inserts

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.

I have washed mine many times in residential and commercial machines and have had no problems with shrinking or bleeding. As a precaution I did wash it with only dark colors on the first wash.

2 pads can with and we wash them in the washer after every use. However you could probably rinse them.

I never had that problem. but I put a pad in them and throw them away. you have to change them often though or they will get infection , like you have to keep a baby dry

I have two pair of these pants for several months and both have shrunk significantly. I am 5'4'' and the size 2 pants hit about the middle of my calf. The size 3 pants are now several inches shorter than I'd like. Admittedly I used the dryer on the size 2 pants (with regular heat), but on the size 3 pants I only used the delicate (cool) setting and they still shrunk a lot.

Who wants extra care for sweats, so I pop these in the dryer on medium heat. The pants did shrink some (perhaps 1/2") in length. In my grey set the pants were on the short side to begin with. Shrinkage would normally be welcome (I am only 5'4") however the grey sweat pants ran pretty short and are now barely long enough. My navy blue pants are fine but were cut longer at the start. The fit otherwise remains fine after repeated washing and drying. So far they have held up well remaining soft, no pilling, very comfortable. Fabric content on the sets I've received is 60% cotton and 40% polyester. Who wants extra care for sweats, so I pop these in the dryer on medium heat.

I wash mine on regular cycle and dry them on medium and have had no issues. They usually lay flat over the changing cover and I've had no issues.

I don't know but they are only going in the dryer so not sure why you would need to. Wool does tend to shrink so its your call

not too bad - they might be a little "squeaky" at first but after they have been laundered a few times they soften up and are a lot more flexible. I usually put my son's sheet over the top of the pad but he's been directly on top of the pad before and they're not too bad.

Mine did not shrink even after a couple washes. I think I even ran it through the dryer but don't remember for sure.
