Advantages: nice smell, reasonable price, suitable for sensitive skin

Disadvantages: none!

I LOVE using fabric softener, so at the beginning of the university year, I was browsing through a pound stretcher type shop and came across Comfort. I brought some and decided to try the yellow after smelling them all! Plus, the television advert for comfort with the dancing rag dolls is THE best advert ever.

Comfort advertises on their bottle "freshness released whenever you move". When I've used it, my clothes do smell of comfort for a long time. Plus, the added bonus is that whenever I walk into my university room, it smells really fresh when my clothes are drying, which makes a change from the usual smell of damp and rotting!

Comfort has had a redesign recently because their small bottle is now wider at the bottom and gets narrower and more shaped towards the top. Also, the yellow cap is made of glittery plastic, so that really appeals to me because I like anything pretty like that! The label is tear drop shaped and has a pictrure of a meadow with yellow flowers and blue sky. At the top of the label is their selling point "NEW fresh release technology". Although that is mentionned twice on the front of the bottle, it doesn't look overcrowded. At the bottom of the label is the product brand and name "Comfort sunshine". At the very bottom underneath their branding info is another of their selling points "21 washes* concentrate" However the bit the * relates to is printing on the back in small print "based on a recommended dose for a normal size load".

On the back of the packaging again is mentionned "Only new comfort concentrate has Fresh Release Technology that gives you little bursts of freshness whenever you move". They're clearly proud of that, mentionning it 3 times on a 750ml bottle!

To use: "Simply use the no mess cap to dose straight into your washing machine drawer".
They recommend 1 and a half caps for 6-7kg loads totalling 55ml altogether or 1 capful for a 4-5kg load, which comes to 35ml or for handwashing, they recommend half a capful, which is 18ml. However I usually use 2 capfuls in a smaller load with towels, jeans and my work clothes. I'd much rather have the smell of fabric softener than cooking oil lingering on my clothes. Plus it just makes my towels smell wonderful =D However for everything else, I do stick to the recommended amount - I don't really want to be a walking advert for fabric softener *all* the time.

The ingredients are not listed in full on the bottle, but what they state is:
Comfort Fabric Conditioner contains amongst other ingredients: 5 - 15% cationic surfactants, <5% non-ionic surfactants, perfume, hexyl cinnamal, Butylphenyl methlpropional, limonene, geraniol, benzisothiazolinone.

I brought it for about £1.20 in poundstretcher, but in Tesco it retails at about £1.70 I think.

Summary: Definately worth it!
