Angie, one of mine came unhooked inside the bag while in the dryer recently. The hook grabbed one of those little holes in the dryer wall and the whole mess continued to tumble. When I went to take the clothes out, the whole bag was all twisted around and firmly affixed to the dryer wall. It took major manipulation of two pair of pliers to get it out and the hook became, of course, a torture device. We gotta find another way that doesn’t require individual washings or expensive devices, lol!

ROFL! I use the same holey bag for my wranglers as well. I hook all of the hooks in the eyes before putting them in there. Sometimes they stay put, sometimes they don’t. But throwing them in willy nilly is asking for your hooks to turn into twisted, useless wire whose only purpose shall now be to poke into your flesh. (Pliers always looks like they’ll work but once they’re warped, they’re never the same!) Let me know if you come up with a solution for this one!

That is a very cool toy, Whim, but yikes! $20.00 and you can only put one bra in it. I’d have to do at least six or eight loads to wash a week’s worth of bras. That ain’t happening, but mahalo for trying to help me solve the problem!

I’m always going to wait for a whole load of delicates, Cass. I just doesn’t happen.

I have actually seen these bra balls things. You put your bra in this sphere and it helps it to keep its shape and seperates it from the rest of the wash so it doesn’t get tangled. Here’s the link:

Hmm, I used to have mine wrapped around the agitator, but since I have a front loader, that’s no longer an issue. If I have several for a load, I use a bag, if not, I just hook it and throw it in. If I feel particularly virtuous, I hold off and do a load of delicates, but it takes a long time to gather up enough bras to justify that.

My mother was a big fan of the hook them in the back before just tossing them in the laundry method.

Oh, sweetiesu, I always let the girls breath when I’m at home, too. When I come home I take my shoes off at the door and unhook my bra under my clothes as I’m walking down the hall so I can rip it off once I get to my room.

I’m so glad to hear your business is doing well. The publicity helps, I’m sure, but you’ve got a great product line, an attractive, easy-to-use site and a good business plan, so of course you’ll do great!

I don’t really go to the Crohn’s forum anymore, but it’s a great place where people with digestive disorders can talk openly about their frustrations, treatments, symptoms - whatever. I have SBS (short bowel syndrome) as a result of a gut rupture that left me a few feet shy of what’s needed to do the job.

The things we do to maintain our perkiness, Ann! i spent almost an hour untangling straps this time and getting hooks out of the net bag. Maybe someone will come out with papmpers-style bras we can stick on & then toss away after one use, lol.
