We call it the "butthole of doom" when the sheets tangle into a single point.
The laundry singularity.
I hate this so much. I’ve read that putting fitted sheets into garment bags makes them less likely to tangle
I stopped using fitted sheets. I hate this and folding them too. Instead I use the next size bigger top sheet for a bottom sheet.
That sounds even more annoying because it has to constantly get out of position and need fixing.
I saw someone comment using suspenders under the bed with regular sheets. Don't remember what the parent post was but somehow it came up.
I just pull the duvet cover off the blanket, leave it inside out, and button up the closures. Never had any issues after that.
Garmet bag for the sheets, though.
Get laundry bags. Problem solved.
Tie them into a loose knot to stop this from happening. Same for fitted sheets. Not too tight or they won't dry but it works if you get it right.
Got a new drier that has a "bedding" setting that stops this happening, has saved me about seven seconds already!
This reminds me of my wife's and daughters bra pads.
More than once I have seen one of the pads migrate to the other cup and end up with two stuffed in one side.
I can't even wrap my head around how they can even get out of that small hole, but to then both pack it in on the other side?
I've gotten tired of that and now the duvet cover is always in a load by itself. A bit wasteful, but it preserves my sanity.
They do that. That's why I dry the sheets and blankets separately. Bonus: they dry faster also.
