Do you use body heat to iron your clothes?
I do. If something's wrinkled, I just put it on and in no time my body heat and the humidity of Florida just seems to iron it all out, worry free.

It is just me?

Or is this rather conventional?

Works best with cotton t-shirts about mid-July.

Cheers.

16. Agreed. It's been years since I've ironed anything.
But then I'm a single guy who can wear whatever I please. I enjoy that freedom.

2. I used to be a wrinkle freak. But now that I have a kid, I use
the dryer as an iron. Lazy, I know, but it works on a lot of things, and it saves me the time in the morning to get my baby dressed. If it is a cotton button up or something like that though, the iron must come out.

4. That is also my method...
even cotton doesn't need ironing if you hang it up as soon as the dryer stops

13. iron clothes?
:rofl:

I think packrats chewed the cord off my iron out on the porch 20 years ago.
I hang shirts on plastic hangers to dry (no dryer). If that's not good enough, then the event isn't anyplace I need to be anyway.
