Update: I am 80% nylon items now for underwear, shorts, and pants.
Nylon doesn’t work well for socks or shirts. Socks become too sweaty and don’t provide enough soft barrier between foot and shoe. Shirts are actually quite comfortable, but they have a nipple outlining effect. So they are reserved for bike rides and yard work, and I won’t buy more. The shirts aren’t even tight or thin, size L is kind of baggy but still has the effect.
I now have a third laundry basket for nylon clothing. It washes perfectly in cold water on quick cycle and dries in 15 minutes on the “very low – delicates” setting. Meanwhile cotton clothing needs 40 minutes on high to dry.
I hide this basket from my maid who normally does the laundry. I enjoy doing just this quick task every 10 days or so, and don’t feel like having a long conversation in Spanish with her about doing the quick cycle and low dry where I illustrate things on our wonderful but overly complicated Samsung washer and dryer. She seems stressed out lately and I don’t want to add to it.
