    So what exactly am I supposed to do for something that says "do not dry"?

    Maybe have Ben Shapiro marry it? That’ll make it dry.

    They can put whatever symbol they want on it, it's all going into the washer. It that kills the object, it's defective, and I'm going to demand my money back.

    Delicate stuff may get:

    • No chlorine tag obeyed;

    • Washed in a separated bag;

    • A different iron temperature.

    The list above is exhaustive. Also, it gets washed cold, because everything gets washed cold. If that's not enough, I'll be happy to throw it away after it's destroyed.

    Just sucks to destroy stuff, especially if it is expensive. Avoiding such stuff altogether on the other hand...

    Those labels aren't reliable, the material specification isn't reliable, if you research your clothes before buying them maybe you know how to get some reliable information.

    My list is enough to practically everything, and I just don't know how to filter out the stuff that would fail it. At the end of the day, I'm not doing more work to avoid throwing away a problematic piece of cloth every few years.

    The A with a circle means your clothes have slept around a good bit.

    It's the sign/symbol used in The Scarlet Letter to indicate the main character, Hester's ostensible whorishness.

    well personally I feel that being a person who embraces your sexuality and horniness doesnt make someone a whore in my opinion UNLESS a person uses it as an excuse to cheat on their partner(s)

    And I havent read that story at all so maybe Im way off topic here lol.

    But thanks for telling me.
