I love gain and especially love the smell and cleaning power, but the flings just didn't do it for me. Maybe my washing machine is larger than normal, but I felt like the clothes didn't get clean using just one fling. I found that I needed to use two or three to get a full load of laundry clean. For the cost, I'd rather just buy the liquid and use what I need based on load size. I could see these being very convenient for students or people who have to use shared coin operated laundry, because they are light and easily transportable.
