AmazonDoing laundry is one of my most dreaded chores.
I hate spending what feels like hours sorting and folding my clothes, only to find that several socks have vanished somewhere in the process. And I have a feeling I'm not alone.
Losing socks is inevitable. Samsung predicts people will lose an average of 1,264 socks to the laundry their your lifetime. Until now, that is.
If you're tired of losing socks every time you do the laundry, you might want to pick up Bagail's laundry bags. Initially created for lingerie, they're designed to keep delicate or easy-to-lose pieces in one place and out of harm's way.
Once you place all your socks in the bag, simply close it and throw it in the wash and/or dryer. While its thin mesh fabric allows water, detergent, and warm air inside, its zippered closure will ensure your socks stay put. Your socks will be clean — and you won't lose any mates in the process.
If this simple hack seems too good to be true, Bagail's bags have over 1,000 positive reviews on Amazon and a 4.8/5 rating on the site. In other words, they work.
"It feels weird to be so impressed by the quality of laundry bags, but I am," one commenter said. "The zipper is really sturdy; it definitely wont come open in the wash, and I like that it has a loop to slip the zipper pull into so that it won't snag anything while washing."
With one large bag, two medium bags, and two small bags, Bagail's set of five bags has an option for every type of laundry load. After a couple uses, you'll wonder how you ever washed your clothes without them.
