Why You Should Never Put Your undicloth® in the Dryer (Unless You Wana Cooked Waistband)
Stitched in Sydney’s Inner West. Worn on every cheek.
At undicloth®, we make undies built for the long haul small batch, Aussie made, organic cotton goodness with waistbands designed to bounce back wash after wash.
But there’s one thing guaranteed to send your waistband to an early grave… the dryer.
That hot spinning torture chamber?
Yeah, it’s basically a slow cooker for elastic.
🔥 1. The Dryer Cooks Your Waistband. Literally.
Our waistbands are made with premium, comfy, super soft elastic the good stuff. The kind that hugs, supports, and never digs in.
But hit it with the high heat of a dryer and BOOM:
-
Elastic melts on the inside
-
Fibres lose their stretch
-
The waistband warps, buckles, and twists
-
Your perfect fit becomes a floppy sad noodle
The dryer is not just “bad” for waistbands it is the waistband’s mortal enemy.
2. Real Talk: Some Customers Still Wear undicloth® They Bought 3 Years Ago
True story, this comes straight from our community.
We’ve got customers who proudly tell us their undicloth® are still going strong after three years:
✅ Same comfort
✅ Same stretch
✅ Same fit
✅ Same cheek-hugging magic
And they all have the same secret:
They don’t put their undies in the dryer.
Line drying alone makes that much of a difference to how long your waistband lasts.
3. Line Drying = Longer Life for Your Undies
When you hang your undicloth® on the line, you’re keeping the elastic cool, calm and relaxed.
Line drying means:
-
A waistband that stays strong
-
Fabric that stays soft
-
Undies that keep their shape
-
A MUCH longer life (no cooked elastic here)
Plus nothing beats the fresh-air softness of line-dried undies. The dryer can’t compete.
4. Aussie-Made Craftsmanship Deserves Better Than a Hot Metal Drum
Our makers in Sydney hand-cut, hand-sew and hand-finish every single pair of undicloth®.
But the dryer doesn’t respect craftsmanship. It’ll scorch that beautiful waistband like a snag left too long on the barbie.
If you want your small-batch, Aussie-made undicloth® to repay you with years of comfort keep them out of the dryer.
✅ 5. The Official undicloth® Washing Rule
It’s simple.
It’s firm.
It’s for the good of every cheek nationwide.
✅ If you want your undicloth® to last, keep them OUT of the dryer.
Not even for five minutes.
Not even “just this once.”
Not even on “low.”
Your waistband will thank you.
Your undies will live a long, happy life.
And your future self will be stoked at how good they still look.
Final Tip: Treat Your Undies Like Mates.
You wouldn’t throw your best mate in a 60-degree tumble dryer, would you?
Give your undicloth® the love they deserve:
Wash in cold water, line dry in the Aussie sun, enjoy for years.
