I have used Downy before, but normally when I find it on sale, but I always prefer liquid fabric softener over softener sheets. Using the Downy again just reminded me of how great it is over other fabric softeners. I just love the scents available and the original scent also has a fresh clean scent that just leaves my clothing smelling great for days. The way I use my fabric softener is with a downy ball in my washer machine during the washing cycle. I have found that using the ball takes the guess work out of remembering to add later in the cycle. I found also that the scent of the Downy last longer on my clothing than other fabric softeners. Downy is not expensive, but I can buy other softeners cheaper, and even coupons for the Downy are normally $.50 and really do not help. That's my only real con to the Downy is the price. I tested the Downy softener for free, but all opinions are my own.

I have been a loyal supporter of Downy products. I have always loved the way my clothes smell and feel after using fabric softener. With that being said, I'm just not a fan of this particular scent is all. I received Downy® Fabric Softener for free, but all opinions expressed are my own.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had previously tried to save money by purchasing dryer sheets instead of liquid Downy. I was less than pleased by the outcome. I decided to stick with the old family favorite of April fresh Downy. I always know when the rinse cycle gets going. The smell from the Downy permeates the entire household. My whole home ends up smelling April Fresh. Also, my husband wanted to know why our towels were SO soft lately. I told him that I went back to using April Fresh Downy. He told me not to skimp on that anymore...it was worth the few dollars!

My husband wears blue jeans to work and since I tried Ultra Downy his pants are softer and they don't require as much ironing. I don't know if wrinkle control is supposed to be a benefit but it does seem to help. The smell is light and fresh which is nice; I don't feel like my clothes are competing with my perfume. Static cling has been eliminated from my laundry! I will definitely be buying this product. I received Ultra Downy® April Fresh Fabric Softener for free to test, but all opinions are my own.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used Downy for a few loads to ensure I was able to give an honeat, educated review. Every load resulted in fewer wrinkles and softer clothing that smelled wonderful. The scent lasts for some time as we are using towels right now that were washed 2 weeks ago using the Downy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this in the mail as I came home from vacation, with lots of dirty laundry. I never had used fabric softener, just a dryer sheet, and was very surprised what a difference it made. The clothes were dofter, and smelled very fresh. Since I just began using it a few weeks ago, I am not sure about the lack of color fade. But, fabric softener, you have gained a convert!

As many of the other reviewers have noted, Downy April Fresh is a staple in most American homes. Unfortunately, our family went to use the "new" formulation and had to rewash our clothes to get the overpowering scent to go away. It is not the comforting smell we have all come to love and expect. Please P&G, bring back the original formulation. I fear you are going to lose a lot of loyal customers with this change. I'm headed out to see if I can get any of the old formulation.

My family loves this fabric softener! It smells so wonderful and makes our clothes so soft and static-free. I have never used a fabric softener that smells this amazing, it makes its clothes smell so so fresh. I would recommend Ultra Downy April Fresh to ask my friend and family!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have recently started using Downy Fabric Softener and I can't believe the difference it has made in the long lasting freshness of my workout clothes. I have tried almost every other brand of softener out there to help get that "sweat" smell out of my workout clothes. With my clothes smelling fresh so much longer, I won't need to throw away the old ones and replace as often! I even walked into my laundry room the day after doing laundry and the room still smelled fresh. I can't wait to use this with my towels and smell this April freshness every time I dry off.

I've been using Downy for years and years...it's the ONLY fabric softener I have used! UNTIL NOW!! I bought Downy a few days ago...only looked for the April Fresh scent listed on it...washed my clothes, walked into my laundry room and couldn't believe the SMELL ...actually it smelled like old clothes that had been sitting around...or maybe a generic detergent! I examined the clothes...smelled my Cheer bottle...smelled the Downy and then knew what was wrong...looked at the label and saw FABRIC PROTECT! omg...it's HORRIBLE and CERTAINLY NOT APRIL FRESH! YOU GUYS MESSED UP WHEN YOU ADDED "PEARLS" a few years ago...but NOW YOU'VE LOST A CUSTOMER!!! (and by the looks of things, more than `1 ) It wasn't broke...why did you mess it up??? Unless you bring back the original/or even latest Downy, I won't be buying anymore! In fact, I'm hoping I'll be able to get my money back...going back to the store tomorrow!! THE SMELL OF THIS IS HORRIBLE....WHAT WERE YOU PEOPLE THINKING?? AND if you wash clothes properly, that will protect them enough...WE DON'T NEED YOU PROTECTING OUR CLOTHES!!!! Wondering if the dryer sheets are messed up, also??? LOOKING FOR ANOTHER FABRIC SOFTENER PRONTO!!!!
