How can i stop jogging trousers from shrinking in the wash?

Question

I wash them at 40 degrees and don't put them on a fast spin but the blinking things seem to lose about 2 inches in length with every wash!

Answer 1

Either don't buy 100% cotton or air dry them.  My dryer has an air dry setting so I can tumble dry stuff with no heat.  You can also stretch them when they are wet, just pull the legs longer.  It seems to help mine.

Answer 2

Wash in cold water and hang to dry, stretching them slightly to compensate for shrinkage.

Answer 3

hang dry them - it's the dryer that is shrinking them, not the wash
