Honestly, if you're the type who throws everything in a hot dryer and forgets it, ring-spun cotton might not be for you. It's not that the fabric is fragile—it's that heat does real damage. If you can't commit to low heat or air-drying, you might be better off with a cheaper tee that you can replace without guilt.

Also, if you're constantly staining your shirts (we've all been there), you might want something that's easier to bleach. Ring-spun cotton doesn't love bleach.
