My wife, bless her heart, sometimes washes my clothes. Now, I'm a modern man who washes his own clothes quite often. I have been, however, forbidden from washing her clothes. Ever again. A number of her garments have mysteriously shrunk on my watch. Don't ask me how it happens. All of my stuff can be sorted into colors and whites, all of it can into the wash and all of it can go into the dryer.
Now, my wife prefers to hang things on the clothesline. She loves that. I don't care for that at all. It leaves my clothes stiff, my nice cotton t-shirts, in particular, develop an abrasive feeling after hanging on the line. So when I put one on and engage in exercise like a run, my nipples get chafed.
Ergo the title of this thread. I think my wife is about to be relieved of washing any of my clothes. Ever. We'll be in the same boat.

(4,858 posts)...they always mysteriously turn out not-so-white...no matter how I do them, and I've tried all sorts of ways. Thankfully, I've never been married--any wife of mine would have killed me fairly soon into our marriage. Best of luck to you two...maybe your way is best...

(18,890 posts)stick them in the dryer on 'air dry' for 5 minutes. They smell like outside, feel like the dryer and u save A LOT of electricity !!!

Undershirt during the workout just adds to the sweat!
And that's providing my wife would never put either of those items on the clothes line either, otherwise they would both be chafing me as well.
