I want my synthetic leggings to remain as elastic and stable as possible. I use leggings for both social occasions and yoga, running and sport.

I’ve never done this and wonder if it works.

Alternatively, what works for you?

    I think it would depend on how much, if any, cotton was mixed in. I don’t think synthetic fibers will shrink at all when air dried.

      Oooh, so that’s why some clothes could shrink?

      I remember hearing that shrinking clothes could be a problem, but I never actually encountered it in my adult life.

        Wool is really bad about shrinking when cleaned wrong. Wool is also expensive and itches so it would be no surprise if you have never had anything with it. Cotton shrinks too, but not near as much
