I received a sampling of the April Fresh pink beads to try in exchange for my honest opinion. I was pleasantly surprised how well these worked yet I was not a fan of how overbearing the scent was It almost gave headache due to the strength of the smell. Plus side was when I washed a load of towels last weekend and my towels were still smell fresh today. I often struggle to get my towels, bedding and workout/yard clothes smelling fresh. This did work, but I am unsure how I feel about the chemicals that are added to make that scent and keep it lingering. I would recommend this, but I may shop around for other options as well.

I received this product free through influenster in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own. I have always wanted to try this product so I was super excited when it arrived in my box. I couldn't wait to try them! I added them to the wash on the following laundry day and I was so happy I did! The product made my clothes smell amazing!!!!! Not an over powering smell but just enough to be a long lasting smell. When I hung the clothes in the closet I had an added bonus because now my closet smells amazing too!!!!! I love these!!!

I received this product free for testing purposes, but my review is my own opinion. The product absolutely does what it says it is supposed to. The clothes had a nice fresh scent while I was wearing them after washing. I don't know that this is something I would really buy though. As long as my clothes are clean, that's all I really care about. If you are all about all day freshness though, this is your product.

So for quite awhile I was using these in my front loading washer. If I didn't, i found that some of my loads came out not smelling so great. On the downside is that they do leave a little waxy residue after time, and you are adding chemicals to your clothes. One of my family members started having skin reactions so i had to discontinue. I loved the scent of my clothes tho after being washed, and I miss that.

I've always been a fan of downy and the liquid fabric softener so I was excited when I received the scent beads to try out for free. They really do make my clothes smell awesome all day and not just when they are fresh out the washer/dryer. People stop and ask my what perfume I'm wearing when it's really just my clothes lol. I can't wait to try the other scents.

of these pebbly, waxy laundry add-ins. I use them as air freshner (Keep them in a dish). I’ve thrown them in the toilet to freshen it up. You can even make your own Febreeze type spray using this. And I’ve used them in the wash. I’m a fan and will repurchase. Honest review, product provided at no cost.

I first tested out the odor shield claim on a load of sheets/blankets that my toddler had vomited on during the middle of the night. End result, I love love love these beads! My laundry smelled amazing....no need for a prewash or second wash to rid the smell away. I received a free sample of Downy Fresh protect beads, but all opinions are my own.

These beads left my laundry smelling fresh. There was no weird smell and previous smells that were once associated with my clothing disappeared. I used this often after campfires and it took the smell right out. Very easy to use and a little goes a long way. If you have problems with smelly clothes, this is your solution. I was fortunate enough to test this product for free but all opinions are my own

Tested the Downy Fresh protect beads for free and I'm hooked. Washed my teenage son's comforter and not only did it the great scent last all week...but his room all together smelled fresh and clean. Will be purchasing these from now on because it's great for bedding and towels. Will certainly be making my purchase on a regular basis

These are in addition to your regular detergent and softener. Although these beads smell fantastic, I don't really feel they're a laundry necessity if you're already using a Downy softener. I keep mine in a drawer, in a baggie with pinholes - it acts as a sachet and keeps my clothes fresh smelling. *I received this product for free, but all opinions are my own.
