UPDATE (to the update): I have now purchased this SEVEN (7) times. Sent a few off to college with a kid. Donated all of my other lingerie bags that aren't these. Also love putting leggings and other "snag gables" in them. You can't go wrong.UPDATE: I have now purchased these FIVE (5) times. Cannot beat them.I use lingerie bags a LOT. Several in every wash. And I don't own "lingerie"....Truth is, in spite of having a front load washer, there are just too many garments that last longer when washed in bags: bras, anything with hardware (I'm looking at you, Hot Topic), to separate different people's underwear (no sorting later and total privacy), and definitely anything remotely delicate.So, I have owned a lot of bags, and these are hands down the best:- hanging strap to use as laundry catcher in real-time making sorting obsolete,- sturdy seams,- great size ( and I think there is a version that is large enough for a full down anorak, too)- the zipper has a little pocket to tuck into, so no metal whacking sound in the machines, and the zipper remains undamaged- STAYS CLOSED during a long cycle with multiple rinses (front-load, I haven't tested on top-load)- makes sorting, washing, and putting away easy (why put any underwear away? (Leave the clean bag hanging up in the closet and just rummage...and have the dirty bag waiting in the bathroom)- I now have one attached to my dirty clothes hamper so I can put delicates in directly, which saves time and means I don't have to hunt the house for them.- I use these for the kids to keep their underwear / socks / smaller items separated and it makes it SO easy to get items back to their owner (I run the whole bag through the dryer) and makes it easier for them to put stuff in directly, too.- I can just hand over a bag of clean items and the kids can get their clean socks / underwear directly out of the bag, which everyone loves.I've bought these twice and am just a few more irritating laundry loads away from donating the other bags I have and getting more of these.
