I tumble warm dry for ~10 mins then hang dry. So far so good

I wash my lulu separately from everything. Everything inside out. Sweaters, leggings, tanks and tees all separately depending on material. I am Uber protective of my stuff. All hang dry!

I was told this during my first purchase years ago and I’ve always followed it; this stuff is way too expensive not to. I also use free and clear detergent as well.

Too much work… Everything goes in the washer on cold, everything goes in the dryer on low/medium heat. No issues 🤷🏻‍♀️

I tumble dry all of my stuff, from Pace Breakers to Metal Vent stuff and my SOs Aligns, etc. oops

I put my lulu in the dryer all the time but on low heat. It is just warm to the touch and my dryer stops with just a tiny bit of moisture left in the clothes. Nary a problem so far. I have dried scuba half zips in the dryer that did in fact shrink the material when I forgot to dial the heat down from medium to low.

I put everything in the dryer on delicates and it's been absolutely fine

Question, do you unzip the jackets or keep them zipped when putting it into the washer?

Anything? What about sweats? Classic cotton blend sweats? Lulu use to boast on their “don’t worry it’s preshrunk so there’s no surprises”. Is that no longer the case?

Someone in my family was trying to help but stuck them in the dryer 🙃 The frustration when someones tries to good deed that essentially ruins your belongings is a tough one.

I wear my lululemons (different styles of tops, bottoms, and bras) constantly, and I don't baby them. They are washed and dried in machines with everything else, and years later, they still look perfect.

I will not own anything that requires air dry. I literally do not have the time, space, or energy for that.

If the tag/care instructions say tumble dry, then into the dryer it goes.

I wanted the lightweight knit mens long sleeve polo to shrink a bit and it still stayed intact. Large is about half an inch longer imo than the medium I got. Probably one of thee most slept on sale items rn

I wash and dry on the delicate cycles then finish it air drying

PLEASE do NOT air dry or hang dry your Wunder Puff Jackets. These MUST be tumble dried with tennis balls, PLEASE.

That is the one and only way to take care of true down feathers. I recommend to tumble dry all things puffy. They then puff back up and function better than ever.

OP forgot to mention this point. ^ All educators should know this

That’s not necessarily true, I’ve been drying my Lulu in low heat for seeveral years. The products that are meant to be hung dry have the care tag saying so. Softeners do not thin the fabric, it clogs the fabric and damages the sweat working properties.

Educator here: i never ever air dry my stuff and it’s actually fine.

I always hang-dry everything except pajamas, socks, underwear, and lounge clothes I don't care about. Everything else air dries. My teenagers and husband do the same.

Set a fan (or two) to blow on the wet clothes. They'll dry in a jiffy! I have an over-the-door drying rack that is perfect for leggings and lightweight items like swiftlys. I use a more sturdy over-the-door fold-down Yamazaki "coat rack" to hang heavy items like Scubas. I use hangers that don't leave stretch marks on the shoulders. If an item comes out of the washer wrinkly, I put it in the dryer for three or four minutes with a dryer sheet, then hang it dry. This works great for t-shirts. For those who don't like the stiffness of air-dried clothes, once your items are dry, air-fluff them in the dryer for just a few minutes.

Air drying is good for clothing and the environment. North Americans are way too attached to dryers...they are used very sparingly elsewhere. I don't think I can post links, but I will list below the titles of my favorite items to search on Amazon.

Been working for lululemon for a decade and I put everything in the dryer. Am I sitting on a mountain of product? For sure. If an item is your baby, then baby it. Air dry helps. But my cats like to pull things off the drying rack and then sit/sleep on them and ain’t nobody got time for that.
