Simplicity is key!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved the fact that I could simply grab this and literally "fling" it into the washer and walk away. I didn't have to measure, guess or wonder if I was putting in to much or to little. The smell was refreshing and clean! I loved it. There was also no left over plastic of anything from the pod and I thought there would be. I've never used these before but I look forward to using them in the future.

Work with Clothes , Soft and clean

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried 1 Pack of Gain Fling with one full load of laundry , My Machine is little big front load and I was really not sure if one pack will be enough for one load or not.
I liked it as after the laundry clothes looks soft and clean too. I am not a Gain person, and always have used Tide and once bought Arm and hammer.
Gain Flings work good with cotton clothes is what i felt as they were so soft after wash and looked very clean too.
They have this good fragrance which keeps clothes fresh.
I wouldn't go for Gain Flings over Tide Pods but , sure for the lesser price, gain flings are really good over Tide Pods.

Fling It In

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the Gain Fling on a load of towels that was beginning to get that musty smell, you all know what I mean. I washed the towels in warm water using the Gain Fling packet. I was pleased with the clean smell afterwards. The freshness sticks around for a decent amount of time. I would probably buy this product again in the future.

Gain is great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm happy that I received Gain from Bzzagent for free, now my clothes look amazing. Before receiving Gain I thought it would be like any other detergent but I was wrong. My clothes feel clean and look great and I love that my kids clothes also look great because they get dirty all the time. I'm glad to use Gain on all of our clothes and that it does a great job.

Not bad but unfortunately I didn't love it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The smell was okay. The clean was okay. But it just didn't strike me as amazing. I'm not sure that I would ever use these again. Sorry Gain try again. Let me know if you can increase the amount of time the smell will last and the cleaning power could be amped up some.

Work better than my liquid detergent.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used these Gain flings for a few loads of laundry over the past two days and they've worked just as well as my Gain liquid laundry detergent. Before I had used them, I had pictured them to feel like the Cascade Action Pacs, soft on one side and hard on the other. These are not like those at all. These are a bit larger and much softer, all the way around. So soft that I'm amazed they are able to go through the mail so well.
After reading some other comments about these Gain Flings, I was curious as to how well (or not) they would dissolve in water. I needed to wash some of my husband work clothes and was a little concerned that I might run into some of the problems others mentioned. So I started my first load of laundry with these by filling the washer with water and holding one of the Pacs under the running water, to see how how fast it would take it to dissolve.
Just as I had anticipated, it only lasted about 10 seconds (under lukewarm water) for the outer shell of the Pac to start to dissolve and the detergent to pour out into the water. I can't even guess how one of these Pacs could not dissolve even in cold water. with as delicate as they are. Also the outer shell seems like it might be made of a soap-like material itself, because as I held the Pac under the running water to try and dissolve it, suds started filling the water like soap was being added, and this was before the detergent from the Pac had started to pour in.
I've washed several loads of laundry now with these Gain Flings, just tossing them in to the water as it fills the washer, then adding the laundry in on top of them. I've not run into any problems with the Pacs not dissolving, anything leaving any marks on clothing or anything like that. These clean clothes just as well as my regular Gain liquid detergent do, with the main difference being that I can just grab a Pac and toss one in, instead of measuring out a liquid.
One thing I really like about these is that I know exactly how many loads of laundry I can still do with them. If I'm getting down to the bottom of the container, I can look inside and know I can still do 5 or 6 loads by counting the Pacs. I can't tell this with liquid or powder laundry detergent. Very helpful.

Nothing better than the smell of Gain

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to try the Gain Flings detergent packs. These odd little detergent containers have often scared me so I never tried them. I was worried that they'd leave residue either from the outerpack or from all the extra "stuff" included in the packs all over my family's clothes. I was so wrong. These amazing little Flings are awesome. Not only did they make my clothes smell amazing, but they felt softer when I touched them and almost cleaner than my other detergent.
I also was worried how to use the Flings. They are SO easy. I wish I would have tried them a long time ago because you just toss a packet in the washer, add clothes and turn it on. That's it. No liquids to get your hands soapy or to get all over your laundry room- they are so convenient!
