I think my clothes are shrinking? Is it my dryer?

Question

I wear a 34L and some of my 34L pants fit perfect and others are really high up now. Does the way that you wash/dry your clothes make a difference on how they come out? How do I avoid shrinkage?

Also, sometimes I take clothes out of the dryer and throw them somewhere if I dont have time and then throw them back in the dryer later to get the wrinkles out, and then hang them up. Is this bad?

Answer 1

Big macks and Fry's are shrinking your clothes.

T.FW has the best answer. It has to be the hot water.

Answer 2

Carl makes a good point but you might need cooler water, fabric  softener  also read the label on your clothes for wash instructions,
