Inside Smarts Premium Delicates Laundry Bags Review


  Laundry. Bleh. I hate doing laundry. I've been doing laundry my entire life and it looks like I'll be doing my own laundry for the rest of my life because I'm still not a millionaire. Jkjk. For the first time in my life I was excited to do my laundry though!
     I received the Inside Smarts Premium Delicates Laundry Bags and I could not wait to try them out! I was actually anticipating laundry day. lol. Weird, I know. 

These are the Inside Smarts Premium Delicates Laundry Bags!

     I've always had laundry as one of my chores. As long as I can remember I've been folding laundry. Growing up we never had a laundry bag though. We just washed our delicates separately. It wasn't until two years ago that I noticed my delicates were getting hammered and I needed to do something about it. Back then we had a top-loader with the spinning center. Every laundry day was tragic. My lingerie was always getting snagged, my lacy VS panties were getting frayed, my bras were tangling and twisting themselves into knots with every piece of laundry in the machine, and my fancy clothes were being contorted in all sorts of horrible ways. It was dreadful. I had to save my clothes! Mostly because I couldn't afford to replace everything.

     I went to the local store and they had two options available. Each one only came with one bag and they weren't very big. I ended up getting the Woolite bag that had four compartments. It was $4.16 and seemed like the best option available. At first it was great to use, but then it became a nuisance. Because of the compartment separators only small items could fit into the bag. It's great if all you have is panties and bras. My sweaters, maxi skirts, and my daughter's princess dresses do not fit in it though.

     And even when you do put multiple items in the bag there's not enough room for them to move around. I don't think that they get very clean because they're all wadded up. And if your items do move around they end up all in one compartment. Or half of it slides into the top compartment and the rest falls into the bottom compartment and it turns into a pair of numchucks in your washer and gets tangled around all of your laundry. The BIGGEST problem with it is that there is only one bag. If you have a load of whites going into the dryer then you can't use it for your black sweater in the wash. You would need to buy multiple bags unless you want laundry day to turn into a week long process. 

     Inside Smarts thought of these problems though. When I received my laundry bags I soon realized how much better these were than the ones I had purchased at the grocery store. You get four, yes 4!, laundry bags. There are two large and two medium bags. In each size you get a black and a white bag. There is enough room in each bag for your items to move around and truly get cleaned. And the bags are big enough that they will comfortably fit any of your larger delicates. And you have enough bags that you can have two bags going in each load. And they have an even bigger perk that I didn't even realize could be a problem. They have a cover for the zipper! It prevents it from ever snagging any of your clothing not in a protective bag. The elastic zipper pocket also protects your washer from getting banged up.  Smart thinking! The zipper isn't a cheap piece of plastic that is going to break after one use, and it's rust-proof!



   Normally, I am a pretty cheap person, but from now on I'll be sure to make a small investment to protect my much larger investment - my clothes! But when you do the math, you're actually only paying $0.08 cents more per bag. And they are twice the size of the other bag and better quality! So, I actually overpaid the first time. Ouch! You can purchase them for yourself on their website here: Inside Smarts or as a gift here: Laundry Bags



P.s. If you purchase them now they are a dollar cheaper on Amazon and qualify for free shipping with a Prime Membership! So, if you calculate time and gasoline I REALLY overpaid for my Woolite laundry bag which I thought was cheap at the time. Dang! So if you need to get someone a nice useful house-warming gift or wedding present this is definitely the way to go! They will NEED these for all the laundry they will be doing, and all of the "delicates" they'll be washing if it's for a wedding present. And they will love you for getting them something they actually need and not something tacky they'll have to return. Or heck! buy it as a gift and have it sent anonymously to your hubby! Hahahaha!
