Shrinkage
When comparing two tees, if you knew the cheaper one would shrink after one wash, would that affect your buying decision? There’s nothing worse than when that new shirt you love shrinks up after one wash and never looks the same. Unfortunately shrinkage is common with fabrics containing cotton unless manufacturers, like BELLA+CANVAS take preventative measures against it😍
What Causes Cotton to Shrink?👀
The reason natural fibers like cotton shrink is because the fibers want to return to their natural state. During the fabric-making process tension causes the fibers to stretch out beyond their natural length. Then, when warmed by warm water or a hot dryer during the drying process, they try to return to their original state and cause your clothes to shrink.
✨✨✨Pre-Shrunk Cotton✨✨✨
The reason that the more expensive “pre-shrunk” cotton does not shrink in the dryer is because of a process that takes place during the fabric finishing processes. This basically gets the fabric to return to its natural state before the garment is sewn. The manufacturer of POOPSYkids🍭 has invested in top of the line equipment that sets the industry benchmark for minimal shrinkage.(These shrink dryers are $1 Million each so it’s no wonder many manufacturers skip this step or do their own subpar version of this.) With POOPSYkids🍭, you get a maximum shrinkage of 5% while the cheaper brands out there can shrink up to 10%! That’s basically a whole size!!!😬 We guarantee a shrinkage rate of 5% x 5% meaning the absolute most it will shrink is 5% in both the length and width✨
No Torque or Twisting😍
Have you ever had a side-seamed tee where after a wash that side seam isn’t quite on the side anymore? This happens when non preshrunk fabric returns to its original state, pulling the seam along with it. Through our shrink drying process, by stretching and shrinking the fabric prior to sewing, we eliminate any torque or twisting of the fabric after it’s been washed at home✨ We want what you see to be what you get, with no surprises🩷 A tee and a cute onesie like ours, that looks just as awesome after multiple washes as it does right out of the box, is just one of the things that separates us from many others✨🍭🫶🏼
