What's the least painful way to get rid of static in clothes?

Is it coming out of the dryer like that? Usually it's overdrying. Take things out while they're very slightly damp and most of the static never builds up. Wool dryer balls help, and a scrunched ball of foil in the drum works surprisingly well for basically nothing. Synthetics are the worst for it, so if it's mainly one fleece or polyester top, just air dry that one.
