How is the shrinkage on these .. do the bottom hems ride up to the waist after a few washings ? Hate that.

I know what you mean - my FOTLs shrink up pretty quickly. Not these. They keep their shape really well. Good quality material.

No shrinkage at all. I am 6"1" and I love them--heavy, & long and they never pull out of your pants when you reach up for something. You will not be disappointed with them.

There is no shrinkage and collars keep their shape. Husband loves the quality and had me order another package. Have not found another brand to equal these!

They're nice for a bed but not sure how they would hold up to a lot of washings....I have mine on guest bed and haven't washed it yet....

They can be washed. I like the nylon ones better as they don't stretch out as much as the cotton version. With either, though you did not ask, the manufacturer and the fit vary a lot from order to order. Happily, if you order via prime the "bad ones" can be returned at no cost.

Are these very thin? I would like to purchase but not sure if they're durable after washes. I don't want them to rip! :(

I dry mine but not on high. I didn't notice any shrinkage at all. Hope that's helpful to you.

The outer layer of fabric is denim. The inner layer is absorbent cotton diaper-like material. I wash these in a machine using hot water and I dry them in the dryer.There is slight shrinkage after washing and drying, but after a day, the fabric loosens and fits like it originally did.The edges tend to curl and the tinkle belt fabrics tend to be lumpy if I dry them in the dryer and FULLY dry them. If I take them out while damp and smooth them on a flat surface to air dry...no problem! I am so pleased with the results from using Tinkle Belts! I should have bought them a LOT sooner than I did! That would have saved me a LOT of frustration! The outer layer of fabric is denim. The inner layer is absorbent cotton diaper-like material.

I think there was a good deal of lint in the first 2 wash/dry cycles. I washed and dried them 4 times to prep them. I love them, they're my favorite diaper. I have 18 of these, 12 Econobum, and 18 BumGenius 4.0 pockets.

I didn't even look. I just wash mine in cold water and they come out of the dryer just fine. No shrinkage! They are super warm!

Did you put them in the dryer after washing? I always hang mine on a drying rack and have never had shrinkage.

We have washed them many times, and I would say there is very little shrinkage. But, I do wash in cold water, and tumble dry on low. They are really strong bags. We love them.

I have on both the black and the gray ones, I don't think they have shrunk at all and I have washed them several times. I think they are some of the best sweatpants I have bought, very comfortable, warm and thick material so I feel they are made well to last.

I have 3 pairs that I turned into shorts (2 bought early 2013, 1 bought Dec 2013). Neither of the first 2 shrank the year a wore them as pants. The 3rd were turned into shorts just after purchase. I can't comment on the length, but the waist (36) has not gotten tighter. Then again, and this is doubtful, I could have lost an inch along my waist.As a side note, I really wish Amazon carried these. It really looks like they are burning through their left over inventory, and not restocking.

Mine did not shrink and I've washed them a lot. However, I only use cold water.

I've washed & dried mine many times & they shrink very little. Now I don't ever wash with really hot water or dry at high heat, it's not necessary & wastes electricity. A grandma that knows. :-)

I haven't washed and dried enough times to be certain the length will hold, yet, but so far it's long enough for me. In the capri length, I actually ordered these in small (I'm 5'7" and around 120) but I got these in medium for that exact reason, so I could let them sit a little lower in the waist later if they "shrink up" on me.

Yes I wash and dry them (on low temp) all the time. Lot of ppl complain they get ruined after washing/drying but I haven't had that issue.

I really like these socks, but they tend to shrink on me after a few washings. Not terrible, still comfortable but I noticed the shrinkage. I also wear 13 wide and bought the large. In the future I think that I will go up a size to xl. I think that this would be a good fit for you.
