What do you put in your tumble dryer?

Within the last month we have bought a tumble dryer. I'm sure it's amazing, but what do you use yours for? What do you NOT put in there? Ive heard horror stories about clothes shrinking. So far I have put sheets, towels and socks in. I don't want it on all the time, but just need a little help as feel it could be more productive!

Anything thats tumble-dryable according to the label. Except DSs cotton joggers. He grows out of those at an alarming rate and I dont want to risk even minor shrinkage on them!!

Loads of things. Woolies, gym stuff, bras and nice knickers, jeans, my own going out tops, work polo tops (cheap and they do shrink), football shirts.
Really only everyday underwear, socks, t shirts, towels, kitchen cloths and bedding definitely go in.
ETA nothing with logos, tights and anything with lycra

Follow the label. Sheets and towels on a hot setting, everything else on cool.
