This product smells fantastic & neutralizes every odor. I have used & loved downy for years, so it came at not surprise that these beads were awesome beyond expectation. I received samples of these products free, but the review is my own. Love these & will definitely be buying more ASAP!

Our son had eczema for years and we had to use unscented laundry soap and dryer sheets. He has now outgrown the eczema, but I had been hesitant to try scented products in our laundry. I had the opportunity to test Downy Fresh Protect Beads for free, and was thrilled that my son didn't have a reaction to the scent, and our laundry smelled fresh and clean. The product is easy to use and I would definitely purchase it in the future. All opinions in this review are my own.

I washed my gym clothes with the odor shield and LOVE the result! I can go work out and leave without smelling like I worked out! If you are sensitive to strong scents, this one may not be your best bet, but I happen to really like how the beads smell. I tested the Downy Fresh Protect Beads for free, but all opinions are my own.

This was my first time trying a "deodorant for my clothes" and I was really impressed. I typically use unscented detergents so using this was a little risky for me. The scent was not overwhelming, but you could tell it was doing the job. I would use this again!

I don't normally use many scented laundry products because I have small children and they have sensitive skin. However, I love to have fresh smelling clothes for myself. I decided to give these a try on my clothes and towels and I was not disappointed! They leave a nice, light scent that is pleasant without being overpowering. I can't speak to how long the smell lasts because I just used it for the first time. I'm excited to try it on my sheets to see if the scent lasts! I received this product to try for free, but my opinions of the product are my own.

We are in the process of packing for a move so I want everything to be fresh before going into boxes. I have enjoyed adding this so I know things will still be fresh when I start unpacking. Love the smell! I tested my Downy Fresh Protect Beads for free, but all opinions are my own.

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.

First, let me just say, I tested Downy Fresh Protect Beads for free, but all opinions are my own. I was thrilled to get this product because I love the original Downy Beads but had not yet tried the Fresh Protect variety. I am really impressed! I love the scent better than the original and I really LOVE that there is febreeze in this product!! I'm a pet owner so keeping from smelling like animals is a huge thing for me so with the odor defense feature, I feel more confident when I'm out and about in public. I'm really please with this product and I will be purchasing this again.

I've tried products comparable to this before and while they worked well enough, I've always preferred Downy. So when I found the Downy Beads as a sample, I was more than happy. I've always had luck with Downy softener lingering just enough on clothes to make them 'cozy'. Instead of using them on my work clothes, I put the samples to the test and used one of the packets on my dog's favorite blanket. The scent is clean and inoffensive, and lingers well after being being out the the wash. The only cons I've come across with the product is they're candy-like in appearance and then the cost, which is devastating for a college student. Overall the experience was positive and I will keep an eye out for sales and coupons on this product in the future (and will eventually buy it on the regular). I did receive free samples of this product in exchange for an honest, unbiased review, so all opinions of Downy Fresh Protect Beads in this review are my own.

I just received this product for testing. Today was my laundry day and these beads were easy to use and my clothes smelled so great!! I really like the scent and I will purchase these in the future. I'm testing Downy Fresh Proctect Beads for free and all opinions are mine. Thank you Influenster for the samples!
