Bounce dryer bar?
Target had them on clearance last month for $1.75 and I had a dollar off coupon so I figured what the heck. I really love them!! Not sure if they are worth the regular price though. Have u tried them?

I gave mine to my sister. She has liked it so far except for once it left a white streak on some jeans. I can't use it since my hubby is allergic to fragrances on his clothes. I got it free from Viewpoints to test. I took my sister's word for how it worked.

I am afraid to use it cause my dryer is brand new and I dont want to ruin it but my mom loves hers. She also got it free to test. She keeps trying to talk me into trying it as well.

I think it is so funny that they are trying to sell these as a "new" product. I used them 20 years ago - not bounce but another manufacturer. They work really well but when I used them they were not this expensive. As a note I have a gas dryer and never had problems with them.

I bought one when they were on sale. They are ok, but in my house with 3 teen girls, the 4 month bar lasted us about a month. Considering how often I would have to buy a replacement, its cheaper to go back to my regular liquid softener.
On a side note... the bounce bar didn't help with static very much.

I bought the 2 month bar and it worked well at first. My clothes smelled nice and there wasn't as much static as using nothing at all. It doesn't work as long as they claim it will.

I love the Bounce bar. My 9 year old is usually the one to transfer the laundry to the dryer, so the bar is great so she doesn't have to remember to put in a dryer sheet.

Havent tried the bar but noticed they were on clearance already at one store. I thought they just came out? Maybe they werent selling there anyways...
Me to! Im willing to pay just a little more for them to smell nice, the cheaper brands just dont do it for me.

No I haven't used them and probably won't .. I like my dryer sheets or liquid fabric softener. Originally Posted by Mini

Distance and time may separate us but friendship and memories won't.

We have one as well, and really like it. We don't do a whole lot of laundry, it will def last longer than claimed for us tho
We have the static balls as well so I'm unsure if it helps w/ static or not, but the smell is really good and I can smell it long after I put on my clothes.
