Question for you

seahorse01 · January 2014

Do you dry your jeans in the dryer? The last pair I bought the salesperson told me not to. I have always dried previous pairs with the rest of my clothes, but I would really like for these to last a long time since they were pricey.

BreMae · January 2014

I never have. But that is because I have long legs so if they go in the dryer they shrink too much for me. And it's a pain finding jeans long enough that I like. My sister buys pretty pricey jeans and they go in the dryer so I think it's personal preference?<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

I do.

I'm way too lazy for that shit.

nfp147 · January 2014

Yep. I'm lazy.

And, I'm never happy with my body, so I buy cheap crap.

Dry them in the dryer along with all of the other clothes.

seahorse01 · January 2014

Interesting. I do hate how my dark wash jeans eventually fade, so maybe I will give this a try and see if it makes a difference.

brij2006 · January 2014

I've read to wash and dry them inside out to keep the darker wash set in.

This. I also buy cheap jeans and don't particularly care...

Yup. Dryer. The only things we don't put in the dryer have to specifically say no dryer. Like DH's under armor. Apparently the dryer will take away the warmth from them.

seahorse01 · January 2014

I do always wash inside out. I will report back on this strategy if I remember. The tag does say to line dry.

Oooh, I didn't know this (nor have I read the tag). I've dried my coldgear since I bought it 4 years ago. Woops.

I dry mine. I love the "first wear out of the dryer, fit to perfect tightness" feeling.

Sewilson33 · January 2014

I throw em in the dryer! I have zero patience to hang dry jeans, also my jeans are usually Old Navy.

abt8113 · January 2014

I dry them. My jeans are all old and the most expensive I get are Gap.

LuckyAngel07 · January 2014

I put almost none of my pants in the dryer, jeans, dress, lounge, or otherwise. I've had too many pairs of pants shrink too much for me (and I'm not tall!). That's my only reason for it. I just hate when pants are too short for my liking.

sparklingdiamond · January 2014

I have always put mine in the dryer. But I don't buy crazy expensive jeans either.

sweetpotato123 · January 2014

I'm a huge seven fan and they always go in the dryer inside out, washed in cold water. I've had a couple pairs for a few years and think they still look pretty darn good.

I'm waiting on my first Paige jeans to come and hoping I don't have to change my ways. I'm with PandP- love that just out of the dryer feel!

LooneyLife · January 2014

I do whatever the tag tells me too, which is almost always wash/dry inside out. Plus, I hate the stiffness of them if they line dry.

Same here. I usually buy cheap ones, I get over them after a while. Seems they don't fit great after a while. Sometimes, though, I will hang them up, like the darker ones or if they seem like they MAY shrink...

Or I get lazy sometimes, and just forget... I'm pretty bad with things sometimes

This reminds me that I really need to go shopping for some new jeans. It's been like 4 years since I last purchased a pair of regular jeans (not counting the white skinnies and turquoise skinnies I bought this past year; they're not denim-colored).

RockABye · January 2014

I do most of the time. I tried letting them drip dry for awhile to prevent shrinking and fading, but then I got lazy and started drying them again. And they shrunk and faded. *sigh*

cinderin · January 2014

I am "thrifty" (cheap) and hate to spend money on clothes. I have cheap jeans (old navy) and I line dry (hand in the bathroom) so they will last longer. I do it with most of my clothes actually.

amccul20 · January 2014

I don't put pants or bra's in the dryer

Nope! All my bras are hung to dry. Ditto for most of my undies, too.

Uptowngirl2009 · January 2014

NO! My jeans never go in the dryer. I work way too hard to get them broken in.

mrsvedo · January 2014

I always dry my jeans but they're mostly Old Navy too. They stretch out and I like to dry them to tighten them back up.

lb1117 · January 2014

I always put them in the dryer. That said, I wash and dry them inside out. They get washed in cold and dried on low heat.

Xan921 · January 2014

I always put mine in the dryer. 1) I'm lazy 2) I hate how stiff they feel if I hang dry them.

DangerMuffin23 · January 2014

Never even thought not to. Always in the dryer, and never inside out unless I was drunk and they came off that way =P~

CincodeMayoLove · January 2014

I think everyone already answered you, but I too do the drier because i hate how stiff they are if they hang dry. Sometimes I'll hang dry then tumble on no heat to soften them up with a new pair, but that's once or twice before I forget and got back to my lazy ways
