You can avoid dryer static by not over drying your clothes. It sounds insane, but really the fears we were taught of like taking out jeans if the seam around the pocket was a little damp is part of it. Just hang them in the closet or on a door to finish drying in the open air, and no static. Another tip is to humidify your home; humidifiers are cheap and human skin benefits from 50-60% humidity or even 60-65% humidity in the air. (If you go higher, we may need to start talking about the expense of mold treatments, so please don’t.)

If you aren't allergic to them (I am), many people carry a dryer sheet to get rid of static cling on their clothing. Skirts are the worst culprits and all you need to do to eliminate that is rub the dryer sheet on your nylons or tights. No more clinging.

Born in '72. Considering mom only had a washer, we had to hang everything to dry outdoors. We lived in a four-room farmhouse with a screened in porch. She would use fabric softener in jeans only. And didn't get a dryer until '93.

Yes that's what they are originally created for. They also work in a pinch if your skirt or slip is clingy and its a dry clean item, if you take a sheet and run along the back of your leg or wherever it is clinging to, the sheets will help eliminate it

I don't want to smell it either

What makes you itch - fabric softener or millennials?

Do you know that Chanel n. 5 is the first perfume with synthetic ingredients? They are called "synthetic aldehydes". Just fyi.

@Beth - Yes! ;-)

N* 19 never sold in France? Seems particular, but I don't know. I'm talking about the N* 5, that dates back to the '20s, created by the perfumer and chemist Ernest Beaux. He added aldehyde, a synthetic component. However I use Joy by Jean Patou.

19 is the only scent that was made exclusively for the American market. I have no idea why, but they obviously decided it wouldn't sell in Europe. It's not my fave...in fact on me (not on others - we all add our own chemistry to the mix and perfume smells different on each person), it smells a bit like bug spray.
