I've never bought the downy beads before. I always wanted to but never did. I wasn't sure if we needed them. Well that was until we had our little boy. Things sure did change once he started spitting up and pooping everywhere! Sorry for the tmi but it's the frigging truth. Babies stink things up for sure. And God help you if you don't wash the milk stained clothes right away. That's where these handy dandy downy beads come in full play. They take that odor right out and replace that gross smell with a much better one and it's not too over powering or fake smelling. You know what I mean, like the smell of a cheap candle vs a Yankee candle. These are the Yankee candles of the laundry department. I received them from influenster to review and my opinions are certainly my own as I'm sure you can tell. I ran out of them quickly and have already purchased 3 more. They are really great. Highly recommend

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 am loving the April fresh scented beads downy is now offering! It cuts through odors like nothing I have ever seen and leaves my laundry feeling so unbelievably soft. I will definitely be purchasing more of the downy beads from now on. I received this product for free and all of the above is my own opinions and was not influenced by anyone other then my own jugements.

I am very familiar with "bead" like fabric enhancers because I've used them for the last couple years. I've always just used the regular downy unstoppable and been very pleased with the smell and freshness they leave on my clothes. The downy fresh protect beads are pretty much the same concept, but I think I like them more. I feel like they have a more potent smell and they fight odors better. I have noticed that the smell of these lingers longer than that of the regular unstoppable. I will be repurchasing these in the future and I'm very impressed by the product! *I received these from influenster to try and review but all opinions are my own*

This product gives laundry such a nice, clean scent that lasts a long time. I was concerned at first about the scent being too strong or having some sort of reaction since my skin tends to be sensitive to strong laundry detergents, but I had no problem at all. I tested this product for free through Influenster and as soon as my samples were gone, I went out and purchased a full-size container. It's great to use for blankets, towels, sheets, etc.

This product was easy to use and worked well at leaving my clothes smelling great after washing them. The little pellets are strange at first but you just add them to the washer before the clothes and they dissolve while the washer does it thing with no harm to any clothing items. I did test this product out for free through a sample but I wasn't paid to leave a review.

These smelled wonderful. The scent lingered and wasn't overly powerful but it wasn't one that could easily be lost. I've always been a fan of downy but these take the cake. I received a free sample to review this product but i will be getting some the next time I go to the store.

I received this product in an Influenster VoxBox for free, but this opinion is my own! This product works wonders to remove pet odors from clothes and blankets. Not only do they come out of the wash smelling wonderful, they continue to smell fresh while you wear them!

Downy Fresh Protect April Fresh in was odor shield beads have been a blessing for my family of four. I have two children, a toddler and a 7 year old. My fiancé is always tinkering in the garage. Despite the normal odors, we have livestock animals. So I was totally surprised that these downy beads handled and got rid of odors even in our muck clothes! If you have ever been on a farm, you know that it is a stinky job! Tossing the downy beads in the wash has handled odors like muck, musty stench from working in the rain. All the way to a bathroom mishap while potty training my toddler! I feel spoiled that my work clothes for the farm smell so good when I put them on. I love opening my closet to be greeted with the April fresh scent! These work great for gym clothes and stinky socks too! Who knew all my clothes needed were a little deoderant! Very good price point too! I received a free sample of these in order to provide my honest and unbiased review!

I've always used fabric softener beads and loved them. I thought they were great. Then I used these gems! They're absolutely amazing! There even better than the other leading brand I use. The smell is amazing. It leaves my clothes smelling fresh and soft. I can smell it still on clothing I've folded and put away days past. I will use this over and over again. Won't be going back to my other brand!
