Do You Dry Your Jeans?

I always dry my jeans. When I put them on I zip them up, do a few squats to loosen the fabric and it's like they are brand new. =)

yes I do. Sometimes they feel a little snug if they are fresh out of the dryer but I cannot stand the feel of jeans dried on a line.

I always always dry my jeans. After they are fresh out of the dryer they are a little tight but about 30mins of wearing them then they loosen up a feel like they did before i dried them. I would just dry them i dont think they will shrink.

They will be a bit more snug than usual when you first put them on but after wearing them a while they will fit exactly the same way again until the next time you dry them. They do shrink a bit but it's not the permanent shrinking, it's like having to break in new shoes--only every time you dry them. If your jeans have 2 percent lycra--you know, the stretchy kind, you will definitely notice a difference. I personally find that stretchy jeans fit better after the dryer and then stretch out too much and become saggy the longer I wear them! Beware: do not let your jeans sit in the dryer or they will have ugly wrinkles--same goes if the load you dry is too large. Happy drying!

I dry my jeans. I don't believe they shrink, I am quite sure I grow.

I line dry my clothes and throw in the dryer for the last few minutes, for jeans that mean only the waist is wet. My husband's jeans never shrink, no problem in the dryer. My jeans, I must have grown over night. They always shrink, especially in the length. I have lines in the basement that I use when outside won't work. You can put a fan on the jeans to help dry a little faster.

I do! They might shrink a little, but they stretch back out after I wear them a couple times... and the shrinkage they do have isn't drastic, I barely notice the difference in the way they fit.

I hang dry...not because of shrinking issues, but because my jeans last longer. Let's face it, finding a great pair of jeans is tough! So, I want them to last as long as possible and dryers tear up clothes. I hang dry jeans, bras and anything delicate :) T-shirts, etc, not so much.

I always wash and dry my jeans. I usually tumble everything on low except towels, and my jeans are a bit more snug out of the dryer, but no more so than when they are new (and hopefully the correct size anyway). I have also been guilty of spritzing a twice-worn pair of pants (or thrice) with Lysol or Renzuit spray (any air-freshening spray, really) and tossing it in the dryer on low heat just to freshen up. Unless I spill something or it is really covered in cat hair, I usually wear pants at least three times anyway. :)

I can't stand the feeling of non-dried jeans against my skin, they are way too scratchy. I have always dried denim.

Dry them for 10 mins., put on a clothes rack, then when totally dry they will be stiff, so put them back in dryer for 10-15 mins on low heat.

I do sometimes, but mostly not. I think it is because I am overweight and when they dry in the dryer they feel tighter and harder going on because they shrink a little bit. I have recently lost 11 pounds and have started drying my current (only pair that fits) in the dryer and I can get them on.

So, I guess it depends on how well they fit you now and if they would feel too tight or uncomfortable when dried.

I dry mine on low and take out about 10 mins before they are fully dry and let them air dir the rest of the way. If they are too stiff after that I toss them in the dryer with no heat for 10 mins.

On another note ....I watched How It's Made and they said you are only supposed to wash them twice per year and hang to dry. And freshen them in the bathroom while you take a shower.

I do dry them, and they do feel a little stiff after I first put them on, but then I do a couple of little squats and they feel fine.
