Ironing clothes is one of the most time-consuming household chores. It’s even more difficult if you’re ironing for the entire family. Jacelyn’s answer to this is simple: dry-fit clothes.
The celeb mum introduces parents to “the new era of stress-free clothes” which she revealed to be dry-fit tees and iron-free shorts.
She shares how they are “resilient in [the] washing machine” then only need to be washed and dry. That’s it!
“My son says, I know why Spiderman wears dry-fit. He has no time to iron clothes. Neither do I!” humorously adds Jacelyn in her second video.

“The very first thing I want my son to learn about life is management – plan and organise. Prevent problems arising from inefficiency and mismanagement which waste more time,” Jacelyn writes in one of her posts.
