    What’s a dryer sheet? I don’t think I’ve heard of it before.

      Literally just a thin disposable sheet of fabric impregnated with fabric softener that you throw in the dryer with your clothes. The idea is that it’s supposed to make your clothes feel softer, smell better, and reduce static electricity. Waste of money and material, just throw a damn tennis ball in there

      A microplastic rag dipped in PFAS.

      I’m talking out of my ass bc I don’t use them either, but I’d wager a buck my description isn’t that far off.

      You put them in your clothes dryer to make everything smell like chemical clean and make them a little softer. And reduce static? I think? They give me a rash, personally.
