These are pricey, but you will be happy. Got these 4-years ago and they're strong, soft, no holes.

Are you using softener in your wash? If not, then you should. I typically don't like using softener but occasionally do if I know what I'm washing is going to turn out like cardboard
All my other cottons come out wonderfully.
I am hesitant to buy softener just for socks, but it makes sense
have u tried good ole fashion wool?
That's what I should've went with! Will consider this for the future!
I second this. Murino Wool socks are a game changer. They are not scratchy either. I'm wearing a pair now. Also they are all season, not just for the cold.
β¦. weβre confident these socks arenβt being stiffened with bodily fluid?
they are being washed weekly?
OP is talking about ejaculating into the sock
Try some different brands, there are definitely some higher quality cottons socks compared to brands like Haines.
Are they too small? Try another brand. Cotton should be soft. I have some 100% Italian cotton socks and they are the softest ones I own.
If anything, they are too big.
Maybe the brand was just junk.
Are you sure they're cotton? Synthetics tend to be more stiff than natural fibers like cotton.
I haven't had stiff cotton anything since about 1978. Companies have been pre-washing cotton since at least the mid-70's to make it softer.
Try washing and tumble dry on low, without completely drying them.
Came here for this. Cotton took over the world because it's initially softer than any alternative. once linen or hemp wear in they are better but that can take the whole lifetime of a cotton garment and capitalism demands you buy more sooner.
I've recently in the past few years moved to bamboo socks, basically wool socks you can also wear in summer.
Freeze them after washing them. When I was a kid we did not have a dryer, and dried clothes on a clothesline. One thing I loved about the winter was how soft my clothes felt after they froze on the line before drying.
Wait what? Can you explain a bit more about this method? Do you chuck the wash straight into the freezer or do you let it drip dry for a while first? Does it work on wool? I've never lived in a place with frost or snow so this is news for me
When i was a kid we let nature do it, so the laundry went directly from the washer to the line. I would do the same thing with a pair of socks to test it. Once they are frozen, defrost and dry as normal.
I'm spitballing, but my guess would be the water crystals damage the fibres, softening them
