I'd never have thought of a hot water bottle, myself, not all on my own. A friend of mine doesn't even own an iron and, as he doesn't take his wrinkle-resistant clothing out of the dryer in a timely fashion, when he does retrieve it, it comes out wrinkled. He has always told me it doesn't matter, that the warmth of the body sort of irons out the wrinkles or creases, and I remained dubious for a long time. As it turns out, he's correct. And any places on his garments which end up with big, sharp wrinkles or creases were going to have them, anyway: backs of the pants legs, around the underarms of the shirt, especially in the front, across the bottom of the abdomen or at the hip flexure area if the person has enough of a belly to scrunch up the fabric and "press" it.... And once I read that little snippet about the hot water bottle "ironing" a blouse overnight, his claim made a lot of sense.
*smiles* Obviously, hanging your "flimsies and skimpies" was the right move! :^)
