And with massaging fingers.

Hmmm....Never mind that is sure to get the ire of the moderators, and it is a family forum.

Not that type, I throw a bunch of tennis ***** in with blankets, comforters,coats etc. they keep things from bunching up and if everything is all moving around good it all drys faster. A lady at a laundry mat told me about the tennis *****.

From what people have told me they work if you have a problem with big things balling up in the dryer. Usually its a problem if you have a dryer that has real short paddles inside the drum. New Amanas are real bad for that

Mini fingers, thats good stuff. I'm surprised I haven't seen this on late night infomercials.

And no, the wife doesn't get to see me type. Get on the lab top in the recliner, up against the wall. She does ask me all the time, "What are you doing?" I say, "Nothin" or "Just lookin" hehehe

I have used them. We tested them at my work (hotel) to try and cut time in the laundry process. They didn't help the time but they did keep the sheets from tangling up so bad. That was a real problem for us.
