Will Spanx Shrink in Dryer

The high heat and vigorous tumbling while it dries will shrink the garment even more. You should select the “heavy” setting if your dryer has one. Try on the garment to see if it is the desirable size. Wait an additional 15 minutes after the dryer cycle has stopped before taking the Spandex out of the dryer.

Can you put Spanx in the washing machine?

According to the Spanx site, items such as shapewear, swimwear, and tights should be hand washed in cold water, then laid flat to dry. All other apparel and activewear can be machine washed on cold, then either air-dried or tumble dried on low.

How often should you wash shapewear?

We recommend washing bras and shapewear frequently, but not every time you wear them. Try to rotate your bras and wash them every three to four wears. Hand Wash in Cold or Warm Water: For the best results, anything marked “delicate” should be hand-washed with cold or warm water.
