I can’t be the only person in the world who has no time, space, or mental energy for air drying. All my Lulu items (and all other clothes) go in the dryer. I’m willing to take a hit on longevity for convenience. That said, my items hold up really well, even all my Aligns that I wear multiple times a week. I’ve been wearing a lot of the same items for years.

lol hi I’m also an educator and dry ALL my lululemon in go dryer and have never had any issues! Teach their own that’s for sure! 😅

That’s just not gonna happen for me living in the south, especially in hot and humid summer. My jacket is still a little wet after 2 days lmao

I also put them in the dryer but no low setting.

Same ! I Dry in the dryer on low for about 25 mins- in a delicates bag (which I only just started doing ) with no issue. I can attest that the part about not washing or drying with large rough fabrics such as towels or blankets is legit . That has definitely caused pilling for me when i didn’t know how to properly do laundry years ago and put leggings in with towels. Also -make sure your items with zippers are fully zipped and inside out , that helps the exterior stay more in tact and keeps the zippers in one place not beating against everything else . That is the main reason I started using a large delicates bag for my stretchy non cotton athleisure to keep them away from clothes with zippers and different fabrics rubbing against them .

Yay! Found my people lol. I throw everything in the dryer on low. If clothing comes to live at my house, it’s survival of the fittest. May the odds be ever in their favor. 😂

Same! I travel a lot. My clothing needs to be able to be quickly washed and dried, given to other people to wash, subjected to some random coin laundry place's detergent/machines, etc. I don't have time or desire to baby my clothes. If it makes them wear out a bit faster, so be it. I've had good luck with Lulu, Vuori, Beyond Yoga, Alo, etc. all surviving abuse pretty well, though.

Same! Also, I live in a humid climate. If I tried to hang dry my clothes, it would take days to dry and end up smelling like clothes that took too long to dry.

It’s survival of the fittest at my house. If it can’t live through the dryer, it can’t live here.

Same. Why am I paying so much for this stuff if it can’t take a tumble with cheap stuff? And lulu clothes have held up much better than cheap things in dryer which is why I buy them.

I can air dry leggings or other thin materials that actually dry within a few hours. Can’t bring myself to air dry sweatshirts though.
id:kx42rtb
Yes!! Literally came to say this. No time or energy. If I have to air dry clothing, I won’t buy them. That said, my lulus also hold up well even tho I run them through tumble dry low heat. It’s athletic wear! They need to make their products so that we can dry them in the dryer, especially considering how much we pay.

How do people not use fabric softener and air dry and not have their clothes turn out crusty af. I don’t air dry because I’m lazy, but the few times I have made the effort to I hate that my clothes feel crusty.

Do you measure out your detergent? I used to use way too much until I learned that a little goes a long way. I always measure now.
id:kx8ojcl
Thanks for the tip! I’m probably using too much since I do usually wash those clothes in smaller loads.
id:kx9bo1d
Depends on the detergent and laundry cycle/machine you use as well! I also started using extra rinse cycle last year which seems to help remove extra residues.
id:kx84wlm
My stuff just really doesn't have that issue bur my water isn't super hard and I don't use much detergent
