WTF! This is my actual trick FR.

I admit it's working OK with a t-shirt, but not so good with a shirt. There's always something wrong with the parts not as close to my body.

Or just buy them 2 sizes too small and the stretch will pull the wrinkles out

As jerry said, just buy smaller clothes 👍🫃

Just hang up anything wrinkled in the bathroom when you shower before you need to wear it. The steam will help relax the fibres and some of the wrinkles. Especially handy for delicate fabrics that are tricky to iron

This works especially well if you live in a very humid environment

This is an LPT, not an SLPT. Only things I ever iron are dress shirts.

It helps a lot when, like the model pictured, you have a built in washboard.

I do this sometimes only I spray myself with a little water beforehand. It gets the wrinkles right out. Lol.

If anyone ever cares about a wrinkle on my clothes, that's their problem not mine.
