Question re Capezio Microfiber Tights

[dbny]

I just bought 10 pair of the footless ones from DFO. Wore the first pair today and like them, then noticed that the tag says they should be hand washed and hung up to dry 8O. I am on the ice every day and do not have time for this. Has anyone put them in the washer and dryer, and how did that turn out?

Front load washer on super delicate cycle and dryer on super delicate cycle. A OK!!! 8-)

I think I've put them in the wash and I've never had any problems. Once they're ready to dry, I just hang them over the shower curtain rod to dry. They haven't shrunk or anything and they've held up pretty well.

I wash all mine on delicate cycle and do hang to dry. They'd also be okay on regular cycle in a mesh bag (I sometimes put mine into a pillowcase in college) I used to machine dry my tights- and it definetly decreases the lifespan.

If you have enough pairs that you can machine wash them all together and hang them to dry while using other tights- and rotating- that's the best way to go. (I wait until all but one are dirty, then wash)

I also put them in a mesh bag on a regular cycle and hang to dry.

I have the mondor ones, but they're probably the same material. I wash and dry mine with the rest of my laundry -- sans delicate cycle or mesh bag -- and they seem to be fine.

Many thanks to you all!
