Got the Job Done

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a free sample of Gain Original Flings through BzzAgent. I was eager to try the product, as Gain is one of our favorite brands.
The detergent fling got the job done. Our clothes came out clean and smelling fresh (I love the smell of Gain!). I am not a fan, however, of how slowly the fling dissolved. I like to have my detergent mixed with water to be soapy before I put in my clothes. With the fling, I waited a while and it still hadn't dissolved. When it did eventually dissolve, the detergent took a long time to mix with the water.
If you are someone who doesn't particularly care about detergent touching your clothes, then you will like this product just fine. I see how they are a time saver, but I think we will take those extra few seconds and stick with pour-able detergent.

Gain Fresh Scent We All Love

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a huge fan of any Gain Scent and I believe many other people agree due to popularity and variety of Gain products available. I like to buy pod detergents because having 2 kids and one on the way, I like little mess and to be as quick as possible in the laundry room. So I found Gain Flings to be perfect in order to offer the clean, fresh Gain scent along with the convenience of a pod.
The best part of this pod is that it offers 50% of the Gain scent. I wasn't sure if I trusted this to be true because so many detergents (both liquid, powder, and pods) offer extra scent boost and initially out of the dryer my clothes would smell extra fresh, but that scent would fade fast. That was not the case with this product. After washing my clothes I folded and put them away. When I finally wore my clothes a few days later and the scent was still strong and fresh. It even lasted the day as I ran errands, drove my son to and from school, fed and diapered my baby, and cooked dinner. I was truly impressed how long the scent lasted!
The other great part of this pod is the Oxi Boost. I have two children so there clothes along with mine can get pretty messy. I usually have to do a pretreatment along with a detergent booster with oxi in it's name. I couldn't avoid using a pretreatment due to some really set in baby food stains on my daughter's clothes, but I did go ahead and skip the booster. I was very happy to find I didn't need it! I didn't pre-treat my son's clothes or mine and found the stains gone! I no longer have to buy an additional detergent booster when using Gain Flings.
I know some people don't like the idea of using pods because they feel they get more for their money using a liquid or powder. And some people have front loading machines so they need to buy special detergent. But in my case, I believe you get more for your money with these Gain Flings. Many times when using liquid or powder people over measure and therefore waste detergent. Liquids and powders can also cause mess and more time to clean up. And with the added extra scent and Oxi Boost, you don't have to spend additional money on detergent and scent boosters. And I have a front loading machine and had no problem tossing the pod in and letting it go!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I typically don't use gain but since I got the free sample I tried it. I was amazed how fresh the clothes smelled after they came out of the dryer. Nice impression I got of gain, smelled great, worked great and loved how easy the pack was to use.

First Time Using Gain, Pleasantly Surprised

from York, PA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've never used Gain before, so this was my first time using a Gain product. The pod was easy to use which is nice; having no muss no fuss. I love how well it worked on the laundry. It got all the stains out and even made the clothes look brighter. There was no heavily perfumed smell; and it actually had a pleasant and light fresh scent to it. I'm quite pleased with how well it worked and I plan on buying Gain Fling next time I shop.

So Much Better Than I Expected!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm not the biggest fan of Gain, I like the product but it's not my favorite. Gain Fling isn't typical Gain, it's like a whole different brand. It's pretty surprising how different the two are. It worked fabulously, my clothes were soft and smelled fresh. They're are super-easy to use, especially for laundry dummies like myself. I didn't experience any trouble, I'm very happy I received this product because I might not have bought It otherwise. Now it's a stable in my laundry!

Fresh Scent

from Lake Worth, FL
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I Tried the Gain Filings this week end and I was amazed how the pods work wonders! I never really used Gain products until now and I might just start. I let the water fill with the gain pod then I put my clothes to fill the washer . I was skeptical not knowing how the pod will dissolve and wash my clothes but.... it did and they smell better than ever! I will defiantly use/ buy Gain again !

Smells Awesome

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thank you BzzAgent for sending this. I love, love, love it. Once you open your washing machine the smell is great. Put the clothes in the dryer and took them out and it still smelled great. Putting them away in the closet and now the closet smells great. I would highly recommend this product.
