There are some other threads about washing shorts that you might find helpful. They are referenced in this thread: http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showt...ht=wash+shorts

My shorts? In the washer with everything else, cold water. And into the dryer on a low setting. (Per the washing instructions in the shorts...) Honestly I think the sun and wearing the shorts does more damage than the low temp dryer.
