Have you also bought one of these when the hype of this item in the market was at its peak? Well, I did. I bought it for my mother or our helper to make in any way folding clothes more convenient. Not knowing that I bought it in advance for myself to use years after haha! Watching the actual video on how this item was used before (creating my original version at the bottom) was so mesmerizing that made me think, "Is folding clothes really that hard that they even made such an item to make it easier?" So as a small confession, yes, I nor my brothers did not do our laundry back then until recently that I have to do it for quite some time because our helper needs to take a short break. Mom couldn't find a replacement in time and I was the only one who is available to help at the house on those moments.

So appreciation of things occur and for this matter of folding clothes.. It is not that easy really when you are not used to doing it regularly. There are different ways of folding them depending on the kind. Well, as per my experience, I have a hard time folding the big loose ones and the cardigan tops. One time, I was even on the verge of telling my brother to stop using one of his cardigan jackets because I kept seeing it in the laundry every other day lol. Now I understand why sometimes I can hear some people say "Ikaw kaya mag laba, ang hirap kaya i-tupi niyan".
And with those thoughts, let's answer 4 different questions on the last part of this post:
1. Who is willing to use it in the end?
2. Did it really serve its main purpose which is to make folding easier?
3. What are its pros and cons?
4. Is it really practical?
Honestly, I already forgot how much I bought this one, but I am pretty sure it was not that expensive. The item is still intact and pretty much in great shape after all those years that had gone by. As far as I remember upon seeing the actual product, I knew that it will really last and possibly can be used for more things other than folding. So as of now, it is really a good buy.
Let's go and use the product now:
1. Lay the clothes folder on a flat surface

Step 1 |
2. Put a garment over of it, centered. (Head opening on the top part - front side below)

Step 2 |
(If the bottom part is longer than the item, fold it inwards)
![]() |
Step 3 |
3. Flip all the sides towards the body (center), until you reach the ideal fold
![]() |
Step 5 |
And that is it. Sounds easy right? But actually it is harder to do than it looks. The flipping is easy but the hard part for me in the process was placing the clothes in the correct position. Don't misunderstand me that it is that hard but what I am just saying is that it is not that easy than it looks especially on the first few trials. Well, you just have to treat it like any other skill I guess, you need to get a hang of it before you can use it smoothly.
So answering the 4 questions above, here are the verdicts:
1. Who is willing to use it in the end?
Me. Haha! I actually represent the people in the population who don't fold clothes that often. My mother and our helper still prefer doing the traditional way of folding. It was in their system already and they are more comfortable doing it, I cannot argue with that.

2. Did it really serve its main purpose which is to make folding easier?
The answer to this question for me goes back to the first one which is are you willing to use the product? For my own sake, yes, it did because I don't fold clothes that fast and that neat before I knew this product. But if you were already comfortable enough folding the traditional way, I think it is the better option - unless you are still having a hard time doing it the old way.

3. What are its pros and cons? (Aside from the given details above)
Pros:
> It can be an alternative fun way to make folding clothes more interesting for others
> It produces quality neat folds since the surface of the product is smooth
Con:
> It needs a big flat surface to be able to perform the flips

4. Is it really practical?
My answer would be no, it's not. It is actually a luxury or privilege to have one. But did it served me well? Of course, it did. It actually depends on the situation or the purpose of why you'll buy one. If you are going to buy that for your helper or other persons who fold clothes regularly the old way, higher chances are that they will not use it. But if you bought it because you were curious about it or you bought it so others might be interested in folding clothes a different way, well, that is a good thing to do as it will raise the interest of you or them contributing to a house chore.
So how about you, what do you think? I prepared a video below for the visuals of this post. Hope it helps.

ReplyDeleteamazing site needs much more attention. I'll probably be
back again to read more, thanks for the information!
I didn't knew about these. I definitely need this. I am a messy folder. Clothes folding always feel a burdensome thing. Thank you for this.

Delete
ReplyDeleteA brilliant way to be able to fold the shirts in a very fast and very precise way!
YES!
DeleteSo many new products in the market. I am good at folding clothes.
ReplyDeleteYou seems confident eh
DeleteNow that looks like something I would use and get a lot of use from. I am the worlds worst at folding clothes and trying to get everything to fit in our drawers.
ReplyDeleteFunny haha!
DeleteI had no idea about any of this, but it looks amazing the way it folds cloth.
ReplyDeleteTrue.
DeleteI worked at the Gap for a hot minute and they had these. They certainly do make things easy.
ReplyDeleteNow thats a trivia!
DeleteI used one of these at my old job and it was AMAZING!! I definitely need one for my house haha
ReplyDeleteGetting one is one click away lol
DeleteMy boyfriend is like an expert folder without one of these but I am 100% not so I could use one of these. I feel like I would still struggle though.
ReplyDeleteHaha! Have a little confidence.
DeleteI have to admit I've often thought about getting one of these, my hands don't work as they used to so I get really annoyed doing even simple things like folding clothes.
ReplyDeleteIts very affordable so buying one wouldn't hurt really.
DeleteOh wow I need this in my life!! This is something I really struggle with, especially with my husbands and our eldest shirts! I need to get one of these!
ReplyDeleteBig shirts are really tough to fold!
DeleteI didn’t even know this was a thing! I have to get this and then get my kids onboard with folding their own laundry.
ReplyDeleteFun to use it esp the first times.
DeleteMaybe my kids would use this and fold their clothes. Right now they just stuff them into their dresser.
ReplyDeleteTry it! Let me know when they do
DeleteSo, I totally get the purpose of this device. But I definitely feel like it would take longer to use this than just folding it on my own. But on the other hand, it probably looks way neater. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteSure thing.
DeleteI am the worst at finding clothes so this would really come I. Ha day or my kids who love to help!
ReplyDeleteMaking them help is really a thing.
DeleteYes, this was also tackled in the post lol
ReplyDeleteThis looks like it would definitely come in handy at my house! Thanks for the review
ReplyDeleteSure
DeleteI used to use one of these when I worked retail. I always wanted to accidentally take it home with me to help organise my own wardrobe. It definitely would come in handy.
ReplyDeleteHaha! That "accidentally" made me laugh.
DeleteIf I could avoid folding clothes, I would! This clothes folder would be a neat thing to have, but honestly, I would need something better that would fold even long sleeved shirts and tops, and shorts and jackets too.
ReplyDeleteHaha! You need a bigger one i guess? lol
DeleteI don't think I would get one of these for me, but I would definitely buy one for my teenage boys! They would probably think it was fun, and Lord knows they stink at folding clothes!
ReplyDeleteTrying is a start still!
DeleteThis sounds great. This is what I really needed since I have tons of clothes to fold at home Lol.
ReplyDeleteAll of us actually hehe
DeleteHow fascinating. I've heard of the existence of these folding things - but never seen one in use. And I really appreciate your honest evaluation. Like your mom, I'm going to stick with the tradition way of folding. :)
ReplyDeleteSure thing!
DeleteHow fascinating and so cool! I have seen videos of this folding device and it does seem to make life way easier!
ReplyDeleteTruly it does!
DeleteGreat review! I struggle with folding shirts, so I appreciate when they make products like this! But knowing me, I would forget to pull it out. LOL
ReplyDeleteLOL
DeleteGreat review. I loved your honesty about it actually being harder to use than it looks.
ReplyDelete(y)
DeleteThis seems like a pretty cool product for someone starting out managing their own clothes. But as you said, it's not a viable for people used to the process.
ReplyDeleteYep.
Deletewow! looks so useful and easy! I hate folding (always mess up with this!) so I am more than ready for a tool to help me!
ReplyDeleteSure. Go for it.
DeleteI remember these all over social media lol. Anyone can fold without the gadget but if you can't, it's very useful.
ReplyDeleteSo true hehe
DeleteI so need this clothes folder. It will make my life way much easier
ReplyDeleteOne of the few populations then you belong lol
DeleteI would never use this product because it takes too much time.
ReplyDeleteDepends =)
DeleteMy husband is the one in charge of folding clothes and he is so good at it. I think I will these to be equally good as him
ReplyDeleteA competition! Nice!
DeleteI've seen similar ways of folding clothes using cardboard online and I think that's more practical. But if you are trying to teach your children how to be responsible by doing household chores then this is great since it has bright and catchy colors.
ReplyDeleteYep. Truly!
DeleteOh I've seen this before on the show Big Bang Theory. I've always wondered how it actually worked. I feel like I'd have to try to fold my own clothes to get a gist on it...but it sounds efficient.
ReplyDeleteWatch the video at the bottom of the post.
DeleteThis looks awesome. I have to get this one.
ReplyDeleteSure! Get one now through the Online stores!
DeletePeople have become innovative and creative in many ways possible. I would personally do the old fashion way though.
ReplyDeleteAgreed.
DeleteThis is cool and my husband would greatly benefit from it. He hates folding clothes. Thank you for sharing about it. Will definitely get one.
ReplyDeleteGreat to know haha
DeleteI love using those things! Folding clothes can be an annoying chore sometimes.
ReplyDeleteYes, sometimes they are
DeleteGood motivation, this is such a great post.. 👍
ReplyDeleteThanks
DeleteThat's one of my favorite things to have in the house! I first discovered it when I worked at Abercrombie - we were supposed to learn how to fold the clothes properly
ReplyDeleteHaha! Wow, a testimony!
DeleteI am pretty sure this would have been the best thing to learn when I was a kid! This is a great way to fold!
ReplyDeleteSure is.
DeleteMaybe this could help my children learn to fold their own clothes
ReplyDeleteThat is one of the ideas
DeleteI think we all need something like this. We are all pretty busy and super hectic daily that we don't have time to fold clothes anymore. This is a must have.
ReplyDeleteFor some yes a must have
DeleteI'm glad to know about this folding clothes, it's perfect for those who had no time to do the house chores like folding the clothes. It looks easier.
ReplyDeleteTell me about it when you have one already hehe
DeleteI like that you called it a luxury item. It’s something that seems to be like that. Something that I wouldn’t run out to spend money on, but would probably help me put away my clothes in a neat fashion.
ReplyDeleteThe ball is now on you if you are going to have it or not
DeleteThanks for sharing about this interesting folder. I would love to have one.
ReplyDeleteThey are always available on the online shoppings we have.
DeleteOh this is perfect! I know someone who can really use this to fold her shirts. Maybe I’ll buy this for her birthday haha.
ReplyDeleteHaha! Looks like that would be fun
DeleteAs someone who is very organized and very detail oriented I feel as though I need one of these for my t-shirts. It's indeed a luxury item. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading. (y)
DeleteI had to laugh when I saw this. Are you familiar with the TV series, The Big Bang Theory? Because Sheldon uses one of these to fold his clothes! :)
ReplyDeleteAre you serious? Haha! Seen like 1 or 2 episodes only but I think that scene would be funny
Deletecool! I think I need this.. nice review..
ReplyDeleteCool to know you need it! Great.
DeleteMost of the moms out there are always willing to buy one like this. This would save much of our time. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteAs long as it will truly help them. I support thee
DeleteThis sounds like a great product to get those nice crisp folds. Better still it's light so you can pop it in a suitcase and fold clothes before you return back from a holiday as well as before you go.
ReplyDeleteNice tips you got there for travel!
DeleteThat's great. I didn't realize they had a way like this to fold clothes. This really does look good. I will have to check that out. I always look for better ways to fold. I can see why it would be great when you travel.
ReplyDeleteHmmm.. bringing it in a travel? Not sure about that though
DeleteIsn't this just so amazing! It can be so boring to gold clothes like shirts and T-shirts especially if you're in a rush but a clothes folder eases that. Sometimes, I end up hanging them.
ReplyDeleteLOl. Why rush? haha
