Question

Instead of my jeans shrinking in the washer and dryer,they get baggier,how can make it so they shrink.?

Answer 1

Check the fabric content tag on your jeans.

If the jeans have lycra in them, after a while they become baggier because lycra is a type of elastic and will eventually stay stretched.

Clothes shrink in the washing machine, not in the dryer.  However, washing jeans with lycra in hot water will cause the lycra to break down and you will have permanently baggy jeans.  Generally speaking, jeans with lycra in them cannot be shrunk.

Answer 2

i don't know how to make them shrink but to keep them the same size just hang dry them so they don't get baggier

Answer 3

Do you notice that they're bigger after you've had them on a few hours or when you first put them on?  Jeans stretch out after you've had them on awhile.  If you're not using hot water to wash them, try that.  And dry them in the dryer.
