I had no issues with the bar staying in place, as some reported. My clothes smelled fresh and clean, similar to when I use the dryer sheets. The concern I have is the bar does not control static cling as well as the dryer sheets. I live in AZ where static cling is a constant issue. I will be returning to the dryer sheets.

As a busy mom with a husband who requires a neat, clean, pet-hair-free appearance for work, I find that dyer sheets have become the bane of my existence. While Sam does his own laundry (many years ago we just agreed to let him do it since he's rather picky), I am the one continually picking up random dryer sheets from everywhere. So when Bounce sent me their new, unscented Bounce Dryer Bar, I was thrilled. It's like having 3 months worth of dryer sheets in a tidy little package – that sticks to the inside of your dryer. So simple, so convenient. Just stick it and forget it. I got to work doing laundry that day and was impressed at how it worked. I chose unscented because we tend to be a little more sensitive to things we wear. I love that it repels pet hair from clothes, while controlling static and leaving everything so soft. We have cats, but we're not fans of leaving the house with hair clinging to us. This changes that. I've never been a fan of dryer sheets before because I found that on certain clothes they actually caused more static. But with the Bounce Dryer Bar, the static is controlled. Sam loves that, his clothes have to be almost perfect in the Army and clingy, fuzzy clothes could actually get him in trouble. I love the fact that we are now a dryer-sheet-free household. For cloth diapers and Bella's night clothes (the Bounce Dryer Bar warns not to use it on pajamas because it reduces the flame retardant) you can simply unsnap it out of the dryer, and then snap it back in for the next load. The best part is when the bar is done, you can purchase a refill to snap into the shell again. No fuss. This is great as dryer sheets used to get hidden in the dryer, and I'd do a load of diapers or night clothes without seeing it was in there. Waiting for me. :/ And now I'm free of them.

I know I should put dryer sheets in. I know it makes my clothing smell all fresh and lovely. I know it keeps static at bay. But I am lazy. Seriously lazy. Baskets of clean laundry are stacked on top of the dryer waiting to be folded and put away. What do I do? I head to the utility room to get dresses in the morning. Yeah, hence undomesticated Goddess. This thing? Totally rocks. All my clothing get softened perfectly and I don't have to remember where I put that box of dryer sheets. Also, no random dryer sheets winding up with the dish towels. It even told me when it needed to be replaced. Thanks Bounce for supporting my laziness!

I was given this product to review and immediately fell in love with it! I used to hate having a collection of used dryer sheets at the end of laundry day. With the Bounce Dryer Bar, I don't feel like I'm adding to a landfill! I appreciate that I don't have to remember to add a sheet with every load, I just throw stuff in, clear out the lint trap, and press go! It leaves clothes soft and smelling great.

Things I love about the Bounce Outdoor Fresh Dryer Bar: my clothes and linens smell awesome. i dont need to remember to add softener/sheets to the dryer every time i use it - LOVE THAT ease! gives a good amount of softness and static control [comparable to other brands/types I've used] I was also surprised to find that the bar didn't crumble or break off into the laundry. When I first tried it, I expected that "crummy deodorant" habit of showing white marks on my clothing.

I tried this out when I got a sample back in November. I love how easy it is- I never have to remember to put a dryer sheet in. The smell is fresh and it lasts as long as it claims (4 months), even with me doing around 5 loads of laundry a week. I am definitely using this from now on!

I think i will stick with making my own fabric softener! I used this on my darks and had white streaks all over my clothes. I like the smell and the. I did about 6 loads over the weekend and the bar is half gone.... I am confident this bar is not going to last 2 months! how do you make fabric softener?

I have always loved the smell of Bounce, and the first thing that struck me about the Dryer Bar was that it made not only my laundry, but my whole laundry room, smell fresh and clean. For about the first week of use, I was very pleased, and didn't miss dryer sheets at all. In fact, I really liked the convenience of not having to remember to throw in a sheet. But after the first week, or week and a half, I noticed that my clothes were getting more and more static. The freshness was still there, but the static control had slacked off considerably. I don't recall exactly how long it took me to toss a dryer sheet in with the bar, but it wasn't nearly as long as the manufacturers say the Dryer Bar is supposed to last. I didn't have any issues with the adhesion of the bar, though, as some of the other reviewers have; it stuck right to the dryer and stayed there with no problems. I wouldn't necessarily say this is a bad product - like I said, it was great at first - but I wouldn't recommend it simply because of its ultimate ineffectiveness against static cling.

I bought this with high hopes however I pull my kids sweat clothes and underwear out of the dryer and they are all sticking together with static... it's pretty bad! I gave it about a month and it didn't get better, so now I am back to adding fabric softer into the washing machine. I really don't notice a scent at all, and it could be working for softening; I honestly don't know

I had a great experience with this product. I loved that I could stick it in my dryer and then forget about it. Plus, I liked that I feel like I am reducing waste in landfills because I don't have to throw away multiple used dryer sheets. The only reason I took off one star is because I don't like to use softener on my towels as it decreases absorbency and there's really no way to turn this product "off" without removing it altogether.
