Guide Review - EZstringer Laundry Product Review

When the inventor of the EZstringer contacted me about testing the product, I was skeptical. I'm not much of a gadget person; I just always use a safety pin to rethread a missing drawstring. But after I tried the EZstringer I was sold.

The EZstringer offers a simple method for reinserting drawstrings in sweatpants, hoodies, lingerie or any kind of fabric. The set comes with three different sizes of hard plastic tubes for different weight fabrics and different size channels. On one end is a self-feeding opening that holds the end of your drawstring securely. All you need to do is slip in the drawstring and feed the plastic tube through the drawstring channel and the string follows along.

This is one of those simple ideas that someone should have thought of years ago. If you sew, have kids with sweat pants or your own athletic clothes, this is one gadget that is well worth the purchase.

The EZstringer is available online.
