Reply to comment by complywood in Need suggestions on quality women's underwear by Ninja_Pollito
Thank you for your input! In posting this, I became aware that I also need to change the way I launder these items in addition to find a better quality, in general. Going forward, I will do both.

You are conclusion shopping, let's not do that. If you want BIFL sheets, use the search engine as we have spoken on this topic like 90 times in the last 3 months. And none of those conversations stray from long staple cotton or linen.

The only BIFL sheets in our opinion are Red Land Cotton. Even if they weren’t, these other fabrics just don’t seem to last.

Nice earbuds but prob not BIFL material

There's an inherent trade-off here between durability and function (comfortable, antimicrobial). Denim would last forever, but would you want to wear it?
With any delicate fabric, how you care for it makes a difference in how long it lasts:
- Hang dry
- Wash cold, gentle cycle, or hand wash
- Wash with other delicates, or in a mesh/garment bag
- Rubbing up against rougher fabrics is what causes damage, you can think of the rougher fabrics like sandpaper.
- Use gentle detergent, and less of it.
- Most important for silk, since many detergents have enzymes to break down proteins (e.g. egg yolks), which helps get out tough stains. However, silk is a protein, so it also gets broken down.

Reply to comment by Alarmed-Product4078 in Hairbrush Brand that is BIFL? by [deleted]
I don't, I use a wide toothed comb for blow drying. I have short (bob length) straight hair, medium thickness. I'm worried that the heat from the dryer would damage the rubber pad or the bristles. The brush is great for detangling dry hair and moving the oils from your scalp down your hair. My hair's gotten so shiny since using it and has less static.
Denman brushes are heat resistant, and I've heard good things about them too. Maybe the Denman D38 for your hair type.

Have the same ones. Old charger style is annoying. Battery doesn't last as long anymore.

I’ve had my Dakine since 2006 (grade 8 baybee) and it still looks new. Have hiked, travelled all over the world with it.

A minute a day is a LOT of time to be losing. Is it "buy it for life" if by normal standards it is wildly inaccurate?

Which jacket is it? My father has an expedition down jacket from 1982, it’s very similar to my sister’s completely new one.

I’d buy a commercial blender. You might even find one second hand.

I have a 1 1/2 year old Fisher Paykel induction range. It has the best oven I have ever used, and I include the bakery ovens where i worked in the past. Pry this oven from my cold dead fingers.

I have had mine for about a year and really enjoy them. No issues so far but that seems to be expected. Just don’t scorch them with heat when washing/drying
