Shrinkage?

Does anyone have any suggestions to help me not shrink my boyfriend's clothes when wasthing them? I wash them all in cold water and I dry them the same as my clothes and mine don't seem to be shrinking. I have tried on no heat and then medium heat, but they still seem to get smaller.

HELP! Please!

Update:

    Oh my. So it's not just my dryer?!? For a year my husband has been getting onto me about the same thing (after 30 years of doing laundry). I found a perfect solution...I donated all the shrunken size 34s and bought all new size 36. Problem solved. My dryer doesn't shrink those!

    Try hang them out to dry, but if you wash them in cold water and used no heat to dry it sounds like your bf might need to go on a diet. I think he is getting wider not the clothes getting smaller.

    Hang dry his clothes b cuz I have this same problem with my husband. Just ang them up in the closet with some dryer shetts so it still has a fresh smell

    I would guess that most of the things you're shrinking are 100% cotton...

    Hang dry them... takes longer but they never shrink...

    Try drying on fluff or no heat.

    Trust me i shrink tons of my families clothes.

    Heat is the problem.

    Also check the labels of clothing to see if and how to dry.
