Another thing you can do is swap dryer sheets for felted wool balls. I've also added tennis balls. Helps dry them faster (I think because the balls create pockets of air for the moisture to get into as they tumble, and the wool seems to play a similar role as the sheets electrically, not sure if the tennis balls do the same or are neutral in that regard).
Apparently dryer sheets are rough on clothes. Though tbh I don't know whether the increased mechanical damage from the tennis balls are easier on it than the chemical damage from the sheets. And I've never had boxers or socks disintegrate from the laundry, mine have failed more from wear and tear from use (with dryer sheet or without). So this might be more of an experiment recommendation than a "this will work better".
I have never used any dryer sheets etc, and have tried to move away from the dryer entirely. The dryer itself is the biggest avoidable source of wear and tear, heat and unnecessary mechanical agitation. If I am early enough in doing my laundry on Saturday I hang it up, I only use the dryer now if I was late and need them dried before work on Monday.
