My husband was complaining that our towels don't seem to get soft enough, even if he throws in an extra fabric softener dryer sheet. Rather than using more chemical softeners to achieve fluffier laundry, I asked him to bring home a package of Dryer Max Dryer Balls from the corner drugstore. I had seen the commercial and catalog ads for some time, and it seemed the perfect excuse to give them a try.

The dryer balls cost about $10, and come two to a package. The rubbery balls have little fingers that massage your laundry while it tumble dries. The package claims that laundry will be softer and static-free, and will dry more quickly - all without chemicals. After using the Dryer Max Dryer Balls for several loads, these were my results:

Shirts and jeans were somewhat softer
Sheets and towels took up more shelf space because they were fluffier
No discernable static cling
No damage to laundry
The drying process wasn't any faster, but it was noisier; and
One of the balls went missing (I later found it in a corner of a fitted sheet)

Overall, I'm happy with this unusual product and have had no problems with it. I may even buy another pack of Dryer Max Dryer Balls to increase the fluffing effects and speed up drying time.
