Sorry you had this problem. I just did the same thing last week! Took me a long time to pick all the small pieces of white material off my clothes, and then I needed to clean the inside of the dryer by wiping it down, as there seemed to be a sticky feel to it. I had not noticed what I had done until after drying them. I often stick an extra pad in a pocket so I have an extra with me. I obviously need to be better about checking all pockets before throwing pants in the hamper.
