$24 for a replacement. Can I wash it and shrink or something?

Yes you can wash it...wash it in really hot water to help shrink it back to more like where it was.
I even put mine in the clothes dryer when mine got really bad.
If it is getting stretched out too soon...consider getting the "for Her" size the next time as it is about 1 1/2 inch shorter around and won't stretch out so fast.

Wash it and you can twist the straps too, if necessary. Twist by pulling the top part of the split strap down under the bottom part and the bottom part up over the top part so that their positon on the head is reversed, more than once, if needed.
