I probably won't try them, because I like the physical act of pouring the laundry detergent. I dont know why. I tried those purex 3 in 1 sheets (ever seen them? its detergent & fabric softener in 1 sheet) & because i wasnt pouring detergent into the little compartment, i felt like it wasnt cleaning the clothes as well.

but i do think Tide works well, so i have no reason to think these pods wouldnt. Tide is expensive, but i like it a lot...so i use it. That, or Gain.

LOL it was an interesting looking dress!

Dh wanted to try them and I kinda rolled my eyes, but the more I thought about it the more I thought it would be perfect for him.
He has been doing his own laundry since coming back from Italy(which is totally fine with me ). And he uses more than what they say to use on the back of the bottle. I mean he uses a TON! His reasoning is that if he uses alot then his clothes will smell good. So at least this keeps him from using all my detergent in about 2 weeks.
So yep we bought them to try. So far I guess he likes them.

i have a problem with that too. My washer has a "fill line" in the detergent compartment...but it takes more than it specifies on the bottle to get to the "fill line"...so i dont even use the cap. i just pour it to the line. I know thats dumb, but i HAVE to do. If not, it will bother then heck out of me.

get him these: Downy UNSTOPABLES In-wash Scent Booster | Downy Products to accompany the detergent, so he's not using the whole bottle at once. lol They really do make your clothes smell good! I've only used the blue ones, not the purple ones.

funny story about those things (the downy unstoppable things). DH was working (not too long ago - it was when i was pregnant with Olivia) at night doing security at a local club. And someone came up behind him (drunk) and was basically hugging him from behind. lol He finally got the guy off of him and was like "What the F--- are you doing, man?" the guy was liek "you smell soooo goooood"

That is hilarious.

I consider stuff like this a waste of money but both DH and mil use wayyyy more than the reccomeded amount so this might wind up being cheaper. I swear I buy a bottle for fifty loads and they get ten out of it.

I used them before I got a sample pack at wal mart for .97 it came with 3 I think?

I liked them I think the ones I got had febreze in them, so my laundry smelled stronger than usual since I make my own soap

I'd probably try them, depending on the price...although I kind of like to actually pour the liquid detergent, too, or adjust the amount of detergent based on the size of the load, etc. But I'd give them a try.

Never heard of the unstoppables things, but I might give those a try. Love the smell of clean laundry!

I bought them to try and I like it.
DH insisted we tried them so the ad is definitely appealing to men!

So far so good (and they smell nicer too)

I suppose I'd try them if I got a sample. I use less than the first line on the cap of my detergent in my front loader. I don't even fill up to the line on the machine.

I just bought a bag. I'm sick of my detergent. I think it's leaving spots on my clothes and nit.cleaning well.
