worksThis bag specifically fits more than the ones I have purchased from WalmartI have purchased a lot of mesh bags lately from Target and Walmart in an effort to find an inexpensive mesh bag that won't fall apart on the first or even tenth wash. My success rate is pretty low. Approximately 75% of the bags I have bought have failed before their 5th washing use.Failures of typical mesh bags include:- Zippers break or go off track- Bag seams rip apart- Runs develop in the fabric which turn into holes- Zippers don't stay closed during washing and drawstring closures become knotted during washing.Then, I saw these bags and their guarantee and thought - I can pay more for a quality bag if it won't fall apart.The quality is pretty amazing. These bags have an elastic strap to tuck the zipper into and then up pull the zipper tab up and out of the elastic and they are basically locked shut. These bags will not open during wash cycles. The zippers are strong, not delicate like a lot of bags. The mesh is micro-sized and of thick sturdy quality, which offers more protection than most mesh bags on the market.UPDATE:04/22/16I had ordered 20 bags from Fishers Finery - We are putting them through their paces. They are being used for dyeing fabric and we are dyeing a lot right now. That means that each bag endures a 4.5 hour wash cycle, comes out, and goes right back into the next load. This process has been going on for weeks now. This is, I think the ultimate test for these bags.At first, we had some issues with the bags - a few did fall apart - as some 1-star reviewers have stated. I contacted Fishers Finery via the Buyer-to-Seller portal and they were quick to offer replacement bags.They said that they had improved the design of the bags and suspected that older stock had been kept and sold via Amazon. They sent out new stock to replace 5 bags, and so far those have been holding up with zero problems. However, the remaining 15 bags that we ordered continued to fail in the usual areas - the elastic strap that holds the zipper disintegrated (probably a stiching issue as elastic will unravel), seams ripped, and "runs" in the fabric developed.I contacted Fishers Finery via the Buyer-to-Seller portal to less than excellent results. Then, I picked up the phone and called them. They could not have been more helpful. I was able to tell them about the sales rep who was unhelpful, urged them to please not let this person communicate with Amazon buyers, and they sent out replacements for all 20 bags.I am impressed with the high level of customer service - the 1-year guarantee of quality - and the durability of the (new) bags that are being sold.So, if you had an issue with these bags - CALL the company and let them know. They will send out replacement merchandise ASAP and this will be "new stock" because it is coming direct from the company itself.I would buy these bags all over again, again and again. They do not compare to any other bag that I have tried - in terms of quality, ease of use, or design.Very pleased with this purchase! Bra straps don't poke through holes of mesh! Don't hesitate to buy this product.I used to go through wash bags like water through a sieve. When I found these years ago I needed to replace bags again. Although I thought they were pricey at the time, I was so impressed with how well they lasted. THOSE were the earlier model. The company came out with a 'new and improved' model, and based on experience I questioned that statement but needed more bags. Well, they were telling the truth. The new model truly was 'new and improved.'I recently purchased this set of five bags, not because I had to replace any, and I'm talking about years of service. These are just additions that I needed. I can't recommend these highly enough.This bra bag is made for one bra or perhaps two small bralettes. The mesh is strong and the zipper is well-made and stays closed in the washer/dryer. My bra came out of the dryer beautifully cleaned and not twisted like it usually is when I don't use a mesh bag. I wasn't sure that washing bras in a mesh bag would get them completely clean, but it definitely does. I've learned my lesson and won't be washing my bras without a garment bag anymore!This mesh bag is a great price and will save money in the long run since bras last longer when washed in a garment bag. I have no complaints whatsoever. I'm going to buy the larger garment bag since this one was such a good purchase.I ordered a 3-pack of these to try out, since my other mesh bags were getting ratty and would get caught on the dryer (they were another brand & the holes were large enough to snag on things). There's 3 things I look for in a mesh bag: 1). Size 2). Durability and 3). a zippered closure that stays closed. This meets all 3 expectations.The size is great for me. I don't put more than one thing per bag (unless it's underwear), because I feel like it won't get as clean since water and detergent has to pass through the mesh. These are the perfect size for a bra or a shirt. You could probably fit 2 shirts if you wanted to. They're a nice size for an average sized bra, and will accommodate the cups without squishing them. The mesh is a fine mesh, and seems well woven. The zipper seems to be a good quality too. I haven't had one zipper even budge from about 10 washer-dryer runs so far (on regular cycles, not even delicate). I hate drawstring because it tends to catch or wrap around random things, but a lot of zippered products don't stay zipped. This seems to be a quality zipper that closes tight.I came back to buy more of these because I'm so pleased. :)These are long lasting and durable. I will be buying another set. All the money I have spent over the years on cheaper bags that rip and whose zippers get stuck. No more. Top of the line and worth it.
