Unless you button/zip it before washing. Then it's just the fitted sheet scooping up my underwear shouting, "Band together comrades we are stronger together!"

I used to think this was common knowledge. Commandment 11: Every zipper and every button shall be closed before washing.

I buttoned mine, that didn't stop its recruitment.

Fair some just suck. I have one that fell out of rotation for this reason. Tiny buttons spaced too far apart. Go for big buttons or a zipper.

Or you just have to unzip/-button it before releasing the freshly washed hostages

Why are you washing a duvet cover with the rest of your clothes? Shouldn't it get its own cycle?

Yeah I do all the bedding in it’s own load. Still I get the OP problem with the pillow cases though.

I learned this the hard way. Socks are religious pilgrims waiting to happen, and whether pillowcases, non-fitted bedsheets or even tees, they'll journey within anything to escape dryness. Underpants only slightly less so.

Despite it being contrary to green / energy-efficient recommendations, I wash and dry my bedsheets separately from smaller articles now.
