do these shrink when washed & dried?

Yes! I didn't measure how much but my bags arrived with unwashed canvas and definitely shrunk after washed. I should add I purchased from Canvas Bag dealer and had problems with my bags not matching the image. Maybe bags from CYMA don't shrink...

We have washed them, but we used cold water, and did not dry them. They did not shrink using this method. We use them for transporting lots of different items, and they have been very satisfactory.

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've washed mine in the washing machine inside a lingerie bag so the Velcro didn't stick to other items. I've line dried and put them in the dryer and they held up fine. They tend to stretch out from use and the dryer shrinks them back to a more snug fit.

I have washed and dried mine twice. It did shrink some the first time, I only partially dried it and then finished with line drying. It may shrink more if you completely machine dry. Note that it is longer than wide so striped run wide way. I LOVE this spread personally.

Mine did not shrink even after a couple washes. I think I even ran it through the dryer but don't remember for sure.

They are 10 1/4" x 5" now since they have been washed numerous times. I don't believe that they have shrunk however. Hope this helps you out.

I actually didn't notice any shrinking. I've boiled, washed, and dried multiple times now.

yes, they are washable, but don't put in dryer....they will shrink and not fit. I have has poor experience with this product.

Yes! I don't dry them but hang them on hangers! If I need them to dry sooner I put them on air dry and that goes faster

I wouldn't risk putting them in the dryer unless you did want them to shrink.

I've washed mine 2 or 3 times and have had no issue with shrinking. I love it. I am able to wash it in my large capacity washer and dryer.

I have just washed them with the rest of the laundry in either cold or warm water. Most of the time in the winter I use drying racks to add more humidity to the indoor air so thus far I have not dried them in the dryer. They do dry quite quickly being air dried.

wash as usual with other same color items. I believe the package symbols showed no dryer, but hubby wanted his 'shrunk' a little, so I threw them in the dryer and had no problems with them.

I washed mine in cold water and put them in the dryer on Medium and haven't had any shrinkage issues

I did not notice any shrinkage. I have had my pads for well over a year and the still look and smell like new!

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!

Yes. Although I have not washed them yet because mine is fairly new, but I would wash them in cold water only and no bleach. Also , I would be cautious putting them in the dryer or on the lowest drying level for a short time so they would not shrink. I am really pleased with the product, the sturdiness and the convenience of sorting.

I suppose if you were very careful with a hand washing and didn't "soak" them you could but I would not recommend it. They are a flimsy material and I think they would shrink while drying.
