When a laundry bag actually makes a difference
Short answer: Use a laundry bag for bras, tights and anything with hooks or long straps. It stops items tangling and pulling on each other.
Hooks damage other garments
A bra with hooks can pull threads in soft knit. The bag keeps the hooks to themselves. See wire free bamboo bras.
Delicates move less
Tights and thin socks get stretched when they wrap around other laundry. A bag reduces the pull. See bamboo tights for women.
Socks that disappear
Socks vanish inside other garments and behind the seal. A bag solves the problem completely. See bamboo socks for women.
