- It's the thing I use to apply edge trim on chipboard counter tops.

- Wrinkles are so in right now

  Yup, and honestly, looking at the particular takes Gen-X'ers had when they/we were in charge of the culture, this is completely unsurprising.

- No, the boomers with all their magic environment poisoning synthetic fabrics with antiwrinkle coatings did. The next seven generations will have microplastics in every part of their body, but I haven't touched an iron in a while.

  This stuff was invented and worn by the parents and grandparents of boomers. Just because it’s old doesn’t mean a boomer was involved.

- I iron only when I need to wear a suit and be presentable. This is less than once a year
  
  23
- I don't have any clothes that need to be ironed. If I buy a shirt it comes out of the dryer wrinkled, it's fucking gone. Ain't nobody got time for that shit.

I just put everything on a hanger and gravity gets rid of the wrinkles

34
- Two options for dealing with wrinkles:
  
  Wet a washcloth or small towel, place both the wrinkled item and the wet item in a dryer and turn the dryer on low-heat for 20-30 minutes.
  
  Hang the item on a clothes hanger in the bathroom and take a steaming hot shower.
  
  There is a third option: wear wrinkly clothes and dgaf.

  i mean, i just put it on the hanger straight out the dryer and then the wrinkles never develop

  A dryer??
  
  I live in a apartment without laundry in unit...

  Or just iron them.

  I’ve never had success with #2.

- Personally I prefer my steamer

  you do you but that seems like more effort

If only we didn't do that by moving to fabrics that throw off microplastics

32
- idk about you but my tshirts are just made of cotton

Rubbing damp hands over wrinkled shirt.

Well, that's ironed enough.

29
- sometimes i would sit in front of a space heater and pat down the wrinkles
  
  didnt work that well

  It’s not the heat that dewrinkles clothes. It’s humidity. Try it in a room full of steam.

Glad I did my part.

Does nobody here wear shirts to work?

20
- Dress shirts might need a little buffing up, or you can use a steamer. But most of my cotton shirts don't need ironing at all.
  
  22
- If you hang them up straight out of the dryer, you don't need to iron them. Though that might depend on what kind of shirt you have. I specifically buy the no iron ones.
  
  22
  
  I don't have a dryer, but I just hang them up to dry on the clothes hanger. Probably works even better, since the weight of the water pulls them straight.

- Yes, and they're wrinkled as fuck.
  
  20
  
  And fortunately, nobody cares.

  I feel like all the wrinkles disappear 5 seconds after wearing my Clothing snyways

That's what the dryer is for

My mum would iron everything. Then I moved out a few years ago. I still do not own a clothes iron.

11
- My mum used to iron my boxers.
  
  10
I used to know someone that wore a suit to work but he never took his jacket off. Reason being is he only ironed the front part of his shirt.

I personally like to steam my stuff, I hate wrinkles too much.

- I have a mister I use to spray down plants or my frogs to get rid of wrinkles

  What do you mean by frogs?

I finally got rid of my iron a couple years ago. I had used it like three times in 15 years. It always felt like I was the only one who hated ironing this much though

I guess I missed that meeting. Though I couldn't imagine going to work or somewhere social and being wrinkled. I don't notice many people wrinkled in these environments either, so what are ya'll doing?

- I have a steamer or I throw the clothes in a dryer for ~20 minutes while I shower or whatnot. My dryer has a “wrinkle release” setting I use. But if I want crisp lines in a collared shirt or dress pants I think I’d still need to use an iron.

  I've always found it sufficient to hang clothes off of something in the vicinity of the shower and let the steam from the shower release any wrinkles.

  OK, that makes sense. I have a steamer, too, that I use for lighter fabrics it just wouldn't perform on my work or winter clothes.
