How long have you had them?
Aug 2019. But we have two sets.

I have two sets of Threshold flannel sheets from Target that I got in 2016 and they’re still going strong. We use flannels from about October–March.

Wow, I’m super impressed by that! I had a set like… 3 sets ago that lasted 5 years, but I don’t know what the difference was

It’s possible that the answer is that I leave sheets on the bed for way too long and so launder them less frequently than other individuals who have, y’know, housekeeping standards.

I bought really expensive sheets from The Company Store, not flannel (they do sell flannel tho) and the price made me dizzy but they lasted like 8-9 years.
ETA: And I wash weekly so even with heavy washing they were good.

Ty! Yeah I’m a weekly sheet washer too, I’m sure that doesn’t help the short lifespan for us.

I wouldn’t count on them to be the same product that they were 5 years ago, unfortunately… even nice brands have gotten crappier over time

That’s the catch 22 of getting recommendations on long-lasting products.

Wire cutter agrees with you btw. Waiting for them to email me a 10% off coupon for their stupid mailing list, then probably going that direction.

My cotton tights are wearing out so I need some new ones. I prefer tights that are mostly cotton–I also have some nylon (presumably) tights but they’re just not as good. My problem is that I am 5’0" and it’s hard to find tights that fit comfortably and don’t sag around the ankle because they’re too long.
My other problem is that Sock Dreams no longer seems to carry the ones I’ve been wearing for years and there’s no brand name listed in my past orders 
Does anyone have recommendations for cotton tights for short people? Calling my fellow tiny fashionistas: @anomalily @Marcela @AllHat

Unfortunately all of my tights sit literally right under my boobs 
and I could probably pull them over if I tried. I buy regular brands like hue mostly, but yeah they are tall, weirdly the legs aren’t long for me just the torso part.

I don’t know about length for you (might be a tiny bit long, they are mostly ok on 5’2" me) but I like my Pact Organics tights! They are mostly cotton with just enough elastic so that they don’t get baggy

Pact has leggings and socks but I’m not seeing tights. Are they just out of stock?

Ohhhhh I thought you meant leggings!

I buy a dragon’s hoard of tights anytime I go to the UK. Maybe you need a vacation?

I definitely need a vacation. Sounds like they have short people tights in the UK. Probably in Japan too.

Follow up on this. I did end up getting the super spendy sheets!
They’re in the wash now so 
3x as much as my last set of flannel sheets lol. Thanks for all the help everyone!

I don’t think I want a hard/solid neckband type, either. Not an audiophile but I like some bass for workouts and at least OK mic performance on calls (for travel, phone convo, etc).

I ended up finding a refurb of some behind the neck cable style that wasn’t too old a model (Jaybird Tarah). I was considering the Jaybird Vista 2 “true wireless” so I’d be testing out the brand, in case they die or I lose this set, too.
