Crunchy hard tight shrinking socks

[cauliflowersqueeze]

Sick of it. How can I have soft large flexible socks.

AIBU to buy new socks every fortnight.

Apparently you are not meant to tumble dry socks. Read that on MN recently!

Bamboo socks are lovely and soft.

If your socks are getting crunchy, buy your DP a fleshlight.

Try putting them through an extra rinse cycle or cutting down the amount of washing powder maybe. A cupful of white vinegar instead of fabric softener helps too.

YANBU

These socks from M&S don’t get crunchy and are seamfree.

Buy socks with higher cotton content. Or silk ones!

Or wool ones.... lovely at this time of year.

If all your clothes are coming out crispy then it's probably an accumulation of washing detergent. You'll need to clean out the washing machine (use bicarb and vinegar on a HOT wash). Then for your clothes you'll have to use much less detergent and softener than you were previously, and maybe give them a few spins on hotter washes.

If it is just the socks that are coming out stiff as boards then I'd recommend putting some Kleenex Man-size on subscription on Amazon. They can deliver a huge box of 24 every month if you like - that'll solve the problems!

Hope that helps

Bamboo socks all the way.

I buy Calvin Klein cotton socks- packs of three from John Lewis. They cost more than basic socks but last for ever, have a soft top to them and don't crisp up. Have also given as little presents and comment is always that these are the best socks they have ever had.

I buy men’s from M and S. Big size. Then l tumble them and they fit perfectly😊

And no crunchiness.

About 15 quid for 5 l think. Any cheaper and they crunch. Pure cotton

Cheap nasty primark socks. Washed on their own with a tiny bit of powder and a lot of softener. Tumble dry on hot. Come out lovely every time.

Bamboo socks are the very best. Try BAM.

Doris- I got.my CK socks from tkmaxx- I agree they're fab, and they're a good length which is nice and toasty at this time of year (more than half way up.my calf, but I'm v small!)
The M&S men's always are v nice and soft, DH has those (they wouldn't fit my size 3s!)

Thanks for the tips!!

Nobody wanks into my socks by the way...

I’ve ordered some bamboo ones..!
