Who here actually uses it?   Who actually likes it?

Fabric softner makes me itchy, makes my face break out, smells nasty and feels slimy.    Is it just me?

    we do not. 

    1) it eventually leaves a coating on your clothes that feels greasy.
    2) it strips the flame-retardant material on baby clothes so when baby mo eventually catches fire, he will burn faster and hotter.

    I use a little, not the full amount suggested on the bottle.  And I use fragrance free on clothes, but I put a lightly scented dryer sheet in with sheets and towels.

    I just a friendly gal looking for options.

    I've never used it. I wouldn't know it if I encountered it. Does it smell significantly different from detergents? 

    I do use OxyClean, though, and I think it's a good addition. 

    Side note: I absolutely love the smell of bleach, and sometimes wish all my clothes were whites.

    I use a Bounce sheet in the dryer.  No liquid fabric softener.

    We use it.    I use unscented for DefConn's stuff and we buy smelly stuff for ours.

    I use dryer sheets. Fabric softener is weird.

    Bmom - I love the smell of bleach, too.  I would buy more chlorine scented things if possible.

    You bleach people are weirdos. The smell of bleach makes me want to die, but then again I'm allergic/sensitive to bleach so there's that.

    I use liquid fabric softener in the Downy ball when I use the clothesline. I never use fabric softener of any kind on towels.

    I don't use fabric softener and I hate smelly stuff.  I don't understand why every farking thing needs to be scented now.  I also don't understand glade plug-ins.

    I use it and I LOVE it. I use the Snuggle Black Raspberry and Hydrangea and it smells amazing and makes my towels SO soft. My Husband is allergic to it, so I told him we'd have to get divorced because I love it too much to stop using it, so I just used it on my own clothes. But now that we don't live together I use it on everything and love every second of it.

    I think I have a problem.
