This was something I was glad to get to sample free, I have not used Downey before or laundry soap in beads. I enjoyed trying something new! It worked great, the soap smells great and now so does my clothes. I will definitely be buying more of this product!

This product is AMAZING! I love the fresh-from-the-wash smell my clothes have after doing laundry and these beads prolong that scent. It's not overpowering and for me it usually lasts more than the 24 hours that it's supposed to. My husband works construction, but even his grimy work clothes smell good for 24 hours! I received this product for free to review, but I would buy it for sure!

Loved it! Especially for my towels. When my clothes where all done they smelled awesome! #buzzagent #GoritforFree #TidePods #GaonFlings #DownyFresh

I've always loved the scent beads but I think this one takes the cake! First of all, the scent is amazing but also not too crazily overpowering. Second of all, the scent literally lasts all day. I love it when I'm at work and I get whiffs of the scent here and there as I'm moving around. I tested the Downy Fresh Protect for free BUT all opinions are my own. I'll definitely be purchasing it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'll start by saying sorry for the generic picture below but I was so excited to try my sample of Downy Fresh Protect Active Fresh In-Wash Odor Shield I got from BzzAgent that I ripped open the package and tossed the beads into a load of towels without even thinking to snap a picture first. With a 14 year old active boy who likes to take 2 showers a day our towels take a beating and sometimes he leaves wet towels in his floor until I have to hunt down that musty stink. The Downy Fresh & Protect did a great job tackling that smell. Now when I go in the bathroom it smells fresh and not like musty old towels. I will definitely be buying more of this stuff!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried all of the free laundry products, I do a lot of laundry in a week! I used the tide pods plus febreze on my husbands stinky work clothes and they cleaned and smelled excellent! Overall I was pretty happy with the results of all of them.

I tested the Downy Fresh Protect Beads for free thanks to Influenster & Downy. All opinions are my own. These beads are wonderful, they smell great and completely dissolve. I washed all my bed covers with it and a week later they still smell fresh. When i first washed them my room smelled lovely for the first 3 days.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked the scent when they first came out of the washer, but after they came out of the dryer I thought they made my clothes smell like cheese. They made them feel soft after the dryer which I like, but I don't think I would personally buy them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First of all, I've never used a scent booster before, so for people like myself it was hard to determine whether it replaced my detergent because it already had such a strong scent or if it had no cleaner in it and simply made it smell good. The sample package didn't say anywhere. When I finally used it, it smelled great and even made my house smell fresh. It didn't stay on the clothes through the dryer, though. I saved some beads and put them in a decorative vase I have as a different version of some potpourri... that works great!

Wow what a difference! I love the fresh smell and how long it lasts. My sheets smell amazing after a week. The beads are very easy to use and the step by step directions were so helpful if this is your first time using them. I tested Downy Fresh Protect Beads for free, but all opinions are my own.
