    Don’t find they work well

    I don’t think I’ll buy any of the packet style laundry detergents. I have boughten a few containers and out of all of them I keep getting the goopy plastic left on my clothes. I also don’t find they freshen the clothes very well

    Not buying these again

    I purchased these thinking it would be easier for my 9 year old to do her own laundry. Mom win for portion control right? Not so much.
    Upon taking the wet clothes out, I found a goopy substance on a few articles of clothing. After further investigation, I realized it was the laundry pod. It had not dissolved properly. This has happened SEVERAL times and she (me) ends up running the whole load through again. It has ruined a set of my king sheets as well. Now I only use them in hot water and only on towels simply to get rid of them.

    Je n'aime pas ces pastilles pour laver les vêtements. Je préfère de loin le savon. Je n'ai pas l'impression que ce produit nettoie aussi bien et aussi en profondeur.

    An old roommate of mine always bought Gain Detergent then the Flings when they came out. Of course, he adored the smell but he would complain that his whites especially didn't really clean that well. I used to always tell him that Gain didn't work and it was only all about the smell. He never liked the look of his whites: they were dingy and stains that weren't even set in didn't come out. I got him to try a Pod and he saw the difference immediately. Also, even with the strong fragrance, the under arm area of his clothes still didn't smell or come clean. He thought it was just his stinky ol' self LOL.

    Long story short now, I got him to switch from his beloved Gain Flings and Gain Detergent to Tide Pods and Tide Detergent, all the problem with his laundry were relieved and his clothes smelled fresh just like he wanted and no under arm problems anymore either.. I don't recommend Gain Flings.

    I thought this little packs are great and easy to use. But unfortunately I am disappointed. Almost after each washing i can find cloth sticking together with the little rest of the gel packs. It means that the packs are actually not dissolve completely in the water. So I am not really happy with this product.

    While gain pods worked as advertised (My laundry was clean, and all I had to do was drop one in), unfortunately their major selling point is their lovely smell, that will leave you smelling your clothes. I find this perfumy smell way too strong on the clothing, and it would linger in a room after my boyfriend or I had left. While it does work, beware if you do not like strong smells

    I decided to give Gain Flings a try recently. Gain Flings comes in an attractive green package that includes easy-to-follow directions and handy safety warnings. Gain Flings pacs are very easy to use. You simply add the pac to the drum before you add your clothes. There's no risk of making a mess. Gain Flings leaves a pleasant scent in your clothes, although the scent is quite subtle. As for the cleaning power of Gain Flings, it does a satisfactory job, however, the amount of suds it produces is a little underwhelming. Unfortunately, I didn't notice any exceptional stain-fighting or odor-fighting benefits from using Gain flings to clean my clothes. Conclusion > I won't be switching to Gain Flings, as it is an average laundry detergent in terms of its performance. Also, the added convenience of the pacs isn't worth the price.

    J'avais bien hâte d'essayer le gain flings car j'adore le savon à linge gain liquide je suis toutefois déçue car je croyais à voir la publicité que l'odeur serait plus intense que ça je suis plus satisfaite avec mon ancienne version alors pour le prix, je crois que ça n'en vaut pas la peine .

    I received this as a sample. It did its job washing the laundry, however, I didn't like the scent. I had to rewash the clothes to get rid of it. I found it strong and it irritated my sinuses.

    These pods were okay, but not my favorite. I didn't exactly like the scent, some Gain products are way too overpowering for me.
