Bounce Fabric Softener Dryer Sheets, Pure Sport, 105 Count

As a male who does his own wash, I was looking forward to using this. But the more I experience this marketing plyos, the more I become skeptical of what they deliver. Deodorants advertise 48 hrs protection; first, who needs 48 hours? I need only 24. Second, it does not even work. You try new things and get dissaponted. Such intro to confirm that this is yet another instance of something that does not necessarily smell manly nor sporty. Dryer sheet, yes... but what really determines a sheet for men or how does Sports smell? hmmm.... Dont fall for the gimmick.

Yeah, if you can name the commercial, youre probably at least as old as I am. (Irish Spring.) And back then, it was cute to have a girl in the commercial winking-ly hinting that shes going to use the he-man product. Today, maybe not so much, but then women do continue to go after things (initially) marketed to guys, whether its menswear-style shirts and boy shorts or traditionally masculine fragrances. My favorite current perfume, from Tokyo Milk, has woodsy and tobacco notes. Neither I nor my husband (who has to live with me) like cloying, strong floral scents. This Bounce Pure Sport Dryer sheet has, guess what, woodsy and - I think its tobacco flower (but maybe some other subtle floral) and smoky notes. It doesnt smell to high heaven of perfume or laundry soap. Its also subtle enough to just leave a bit of scent on freshly dried laundry. Thats a real change (THANK YOU!) from what Im used to, but also a nice alternative to scent free products that, although best for severe allergy sufferers, leave laundry too often smelling more not dirty than actually clean. But Im still chuckling over the ad copy here. Like washing (my) clothes at Teddy Roosevelts hunting lodge? Somebodys been watching too many of those Old Spice commercials. No feminist rant here. My outlook on gender roles too often mirrors Delta Burkes old line from Designing Women: The man should have to kill the bug! But cmon, P&G, Woodland Retreat Bounce or some such would get my attention a lot faster than something I might assume smells aggressively of mens cologne. In any case, I see this currently out of stock on Amazon and think I may have to scout some stores, just in case this turns out to be a limited edition. Beats the heckoutta the usual scents.

Great smell will b buying more!

Love the scent!! These are not for men only. Women love them too!!

I wanted a manly smell in my freshly laundered and dried clothing, mostly work clothing. We use fragrance-free laundry detergent exclusively for washing, so I tried these sheet to give a fresh, masculine scent after drying. Well I tried 5 times already, different dryer settings and these sheets leave no scent in the clothing. Sure, they soften like many other dryer sheets, but no detectable scent! Thus Im very disappointed.

Dryer sheets were pretty amazing when they first came out. They did everything that liquid softener did and were super easy to use in comparison. I never looked back. The scent was a different matter; the smell was sometimes overpowering and way too fake floral. I quickly switched to unscented when they were introduced. As other scents came out over the years I stuck with unscented until I had the chance to try these Bounce for Men Pure Sport. The timing of receiving the box was right to toss a Men Pure Sport sheet into a dryer load of bedclothes. Hours later, when I pulled them from the dryer and made beds, I liked what I smelled, but was at a loss to identify any specific scent. Later, pulling back the sheets and crawling into our freshly made bed, I really caught a good whiff and thought spices but, when questioned if any scent was detected, my other half said citrus. Maybe citrus and spice? Either way, it is nice and not overpowering. However, regarding the name, Men Pure Sport, nothing about the scent made me think it would have a gender specific appeal. The final verdict is that we thoroughly enjoyed the manly(?) scented (whatever scent it is) sheet and it worked to soften our bedclothes every bit as well as our everyday unscented Bounce sheets. I will look to buy these when this box runs out.

I wondered if this could be an April Fools Joke. I have no earthly idea how P&G green-lighted this product.

Because I work in a factory & my teenager plays football these take the odor right out & doesnt let the smells linger

Bounce sheets have been a staple in my house for several years now. I usually go for a lighter scent such as the Linen or Outdoor Fresh scents but I thought it would be fun to try the Pure Sport for Men scent. I often wear mens cologne because I like the muskiness of it. The Pure Sport scent leaves a nice androgynous scent on my laundry. The scent isnt as powerful once it has gone through the dryer as it is right out of the box. I like to use them on my bedding (being a single gal it is kind of nice having a masculine scent in the bed *wink*). I have also used half a sheet of the Pure Sport with half a sheet of the Outdoor Fresh for an interesting scent mix. I think these would appeal to everyone but I can definitely see them appealing to a man and teenage boys.

I got this because I was curious as to how men were supposed to smell. I opened this box in my office and within a half hour the entire office smelled really nice. This was a good thing because I work in an office full of men. They were pleased with the scent which was not froo-froo. No more lavender or cotton linen! In the dryer it performs as Bounce always does but without the frilly scent. Now the male laundry is separated for a nice reason. Men now have a scent they can more fully appreciate.
