It gums up my dryer too much, stopped using it some years ago. Love the way it made my clothes smell but had to give it up.

Vinegar is a natural fabric softener, among other things, and that's what I use.

I used to until I read how bad it supposedly is for clothes. I use dryer balls now.

Yes -- but only Bounce Free and Clear. I have never used anything with a fragrance.

I rarely use fabric softener and never use liquid--only sheets. I will use a sheet when drying a load of synthetics that are bound to be full of static without the dryer sheet.

My Dad found out the hard way that he reacted poorly to fabric softener.

I started to use Downey fabric softener. And his feet started to itch and break out. It took a bit to figure out it was the fabic softener.

Whenever I washed socks I made sure I used fabric softener so we wouldn't deal with static.

No. I hate the smell and the feel of the clothes. I use half a chamomile dryer sheet from Grove.

I can tell right away when people use fabric softener. I have to step back because the smell is overwhelming to me. If I smell it for too long, I get a headache and nauseous.

No, never have. I've even stopped using dryer sheets. Don't see the purpose any longer.

YES! I💖 fabric softener!

I use scent beads, liquid fabric softener AND dryer sheets.

I love for my clothes to smell fresh and clean!😊

I stopped using liquid fabric softener years ago and use vinegar instead.

I use vinegar with a few drops of an essential oil. Lemon is my favorite.

All I do is I keep 4 dryer balls in my dryer at all ltimes. The sheets are not good for the dryer. I use the plastic balls with the spokes, the spokes help to quicken drying time.

Nope.

Allergic to so much. We use the dryer balls and that is fine.
