Dryer sheets are good for your kit bag to keep it from smelling funky.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
That is (to the best of my understanding) how dryer sheets work. They're essentially made of fiberglass, and they soften your fabrics by abraiding the fibers, thus degrading fiber strength and reducing effective lifetime of the fabric.
Oh! I thought you were continuing the joke about my own, personal clinginess and was just kinda stumped there for a minnit. I am better now.
Carry on.

Lavender sachets are nice in the dryer, and they don't shred your clothes. I was planning on making some to include in Christmas packages, but I don't know that I want to stitch them by hand.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Likewise the inside of your tennis shoes.

Okay, but I was sort of continuing the joke at first, into nonsequiturland, silly miss Literalist!Empress.

Nope. They work by redepositing the waxy film of fabric softener that's on the nonwoven fabric of the softener sheet.

Okay, you're right often enough on subjects like this that I'm reluctant to question you, Betsy. But I've heard confirmation of this from several people, including at least one garment industry professional, so I'm now googling for back up, but you're also faster and better at googling. If you could provide a debunking link, I'd really appreciate it.
