I bought a version of these at a local drug store. After a few washes it tore &amp; crumbled to pieces. Those that still use it: How long has it lasted?

Mine I've had for about 3-4 mths and I've washed them with a mold solution and everything all of them still intact

Mine has been holding up for quite a while. And that's considering I slip in in and out of my pocket all the time. The elastic is still good. The worst wear and tear it has is a few little lint fuzzies that are easily plucked off. This has proven to be an excellent purchase for me!

Well, I guess it lasted a little longer, almost a year. I took very good care of it I thought, but it still lasted only about 12 mo. I just used the same detergent as I used on my cloths (All detergent), but no kind of bleach and never put it through the dryer. Just air dry. Never the less, the last time I washed it, it came out of the washer with a large hole, a big thready one about 4" in diameter, that didn't even start little. Too much cost for a track record like this. Will not buy again.

I washed it in the washing machine - delicate cycle. Low heat/delicate dry. Or hang dry. When it came out of the washer, it was a bit twisted inside, but I was able to fix no problem. The 2nd one I purchased when it came out of the washer it was twisted too much. I ended up cutting at the seam a 1/4" length and used the back end of a pencil to smooth & straighten it. Then I stitched it up. Worked quite well and not a ton of hassle. After the initial machine wash for both of them, I just hand wash or wipe with wet cloth since.

You can easily wipe it clean so it may not need washing that much. I have only washed mine a few times and no ripping or wear at all!

The pair that accidentally went through my washing machine did not fare very well. I have reused several pairs a couple of times but after two or three uses they get grungy and seem to get loose to quickly. Overall I would say they are really disposable, but can be re-used once or twice in a pinch.

I purchased an extra set and alternate between the two, wash then air dry. I haven't noticed any wear and tear / also elastic band is still going strong. My bissell is just under a year old and I use it weekly. Hope this helps?

Nothing so far. We washed one time (before use) and have been VERY happy so far. We had one from Target that tore upon first use and this product is hands down such a big improvement.

I've been using mine for several years. They are still fine and I put mine through the washer and dryer constantly. I can't imagine why someone would throw them out, unless they are not washing them at all and are using them as disposable washcloths.

I have quite a few of these and have washed some of them only a couple of times with absolutely no fraying. Do not use the dryer whyh these, or they will loose their absorbency

Cant recommend them. Pilled within three washes. I understand you are asking for durability but if they are uncomfortable why keep using. I don't think durability is going to be good either.

Mine survived 2 washes before it started to bunch up in the corner. It does scratch.

I maybe would wash them once or twice. More than that I don't think they would survive. It's a cheap material, you can tear it with your fingers. On the plus you can just order more they were cheap.

Mine held up quite well. I still have yet to use it and it's still in perfect shape. No tears or rips.

I throw it in the washing machine and the dryer and it comes out beautiful -- no shrinking, unwrinkled.... I've already washed it a half dozen times -- it's holding up like new...hope this is helpful.

My dad is still using his, even past the 30-days. He rinses it off each morning and re-uses it that night. He has no problems with his. I think the box said it lasts about 30 days, but I could be wrong about that. They seem durable and reliable to him. He is happy with the one I ordered for him and said it works for him.

i use the other brand (soft knees) and i wash them on normal, hundreds and hundreds of times. they dont deteriorate. they arent much more than these, but im not sure of the quality difference. i would bet youd be okay with these, cause the other brand certainly can!
