I already don't separate my whites from my colors and half the time my partner forgets that bras need to air dry.
Ain't no way I could properly take care of computer pants.
You know, I've been wondering lately: why is that? Is it solely because of the heat of the dryer—because that'll mess up elastic stuff for sure—or is the agitation the main issue? Does it matter for bras that don't have an underwire?
Google is (intentionally) useless at finding answers to complicated questions, so the best thing I could find was an experiment where somebody both air dried and heat blasted expensive lingerie. Obviously the heat damaged the elastic, so that doesn't tell me anything I didn't already know.
Bras are expensive and dryers degrade every article of clothing. If you care about any piece of clothing, you should air dry it
