Long story short -- I had the world's worst washing machine, and so I replaced it with an old fashioned workhorse that cleans like there's no tomorrow, but unfortunately has been known to suck smaller items right on down the drain. I have a couple of lingerie bags, but I really needed MORE for my husband's socks (how many pairs of 1 sock does one man need) and other smaller items like my lingerie which aren't nearly as small as they used to be, but that's a sad story for another day. I haven't had these bags long enough to say how durable they are, but they have at least one design feature I love which is a small elastic loop for lack of a better word for you to tuck the zipper in nice and flat. This keeps the zipper from coming undone and dumping the contents or damaging other fragile items in the load. Love it. The zippers are plastic but not flimsy, look to be sturdy enough and, again, tucked in as they are when zipper tucked away, should last. I'll be back to report if they don't, but these bags look like they'll be around a nice long time. Thank you!
Right out of the package, best laundry bags I've seen at a reasonable price. Zipper looks sturdy with a generous sized pull. Elastic is large enough to secure entire zipper pull. Interior seams are encased in mesh, not just serge stitched. Sean encasing goes beyond corners of the bag, which should provide extra strength. The mesh is very, very similar to that of bags I have branded Woolite and Real Simple.

Will try to update review after several uses.
I purposely waited a while to do this review. I wanted to use the bags several times so I had a good idea of how good/bad they really are. I love them! I use the smaller ones for my bras/lingerie and they work beautifully. Very fine mesh, so hooks, etc. don't snag on anything. Zippers are strong heavy duty plastic, and are working quite well. I would highly recommend them! You won't be disappointed.
Received 3 Large Bags (16" x 19") & 3 Medium Bags (12" x 15") as per the ad, tag says made in China. Corner to corner more like 15-1/2" wide and 18" long and 12" W x 14" L.
Durable white mesh wash bags and rust-free zippers which are plastic like and are good to not have the clanking noise in the dryer. The mesh is very fine and things like bra hooks will not sneak out of get snagged within the mesh of the bag. The zippers, while plastic like seem durable. The zipper tag has a pocket to tuck in so the bag does not become unzipped while in the washer/dryer. Soap and fabric softener and the dryer have not impacted the quality thus far. Haven't used with bleeding fabrics / colors, like blue jeans, so don't know if the white mesh will stain. Limited number of washes at the moment so will have to report back for durability.
Picture attached is a large bag with a men's large sweat shirt and a short sleeve T-shit in the bag, so items like sweaters etc will fit fine in the bag. TSA at the airport seems to always go through my suitcase so these will be a nice way of seeing underwear and socks together so they don't spill out when opening luggage at the hotel :-)
Pleased thus far, will report back after more washes. 4-star because unknown durability at this point.

Looks to be a good set of mesh laundry bags! So far I’ve used them in the laundry twice and they’ve held up pretty well. They are the soft type of mesh that feels slightly slippery to the touch, instead of some other ones that feel more like the rough netting that holds a sack of oranges. The zipper tucks into the end well so they don’t unzip in the wash. No rips or tears so far, feels like the material is durable that will last a good while. I will certainly update my review if I notice anything else.

Description
Simple Houseware lingerie wash bag includes 3 Large (16'' x 19'') mesh laundry bags and 3 medium mesh laundry bags (12'' x 15'') with the zip lock. Made with soft polyester fabric and double mesh sturdy bag which is great for protecting your garments like delicates, lingerie, underwear, bra, hosiery, sweater and baby cloth when in the washer or dryer.
The reason I purchased laundry bags was because we purchased a new home that came with a front loading washer/dryer. Socks and other small items would slide down the glass by the door of the washer and into the “grommet” where the door is and they wouldn’t wash correctly. It was especially a problem with my infant daughter’s socks and wash cloths! Now I just throw everything into these washing bags, and they work great! I put any other fragile items in a bag too-bras, aprons etc. the “big” laundry bags are super large, and the smaller ones are big too! You can definitely fit multiple small stuff in each. I recommend these bags to everyone who want to keep their stuff safe and accounted for!
My daughters wear the no show footie type thin socks and every laundry day I would have to separate them from the washer because I do not put them in the dryer. It was a real pain. Now I have them place them in their mesh bags and they go right into the washer, no more having to separate them. I also use these for delicate items such as dance tights, bras, etc. A nice thing about these bags is that you get different sizes and after you zipper them closed, you place the zipper pull under the elastic. I would not hesitate to buy the again.
These are extremely well made bags. I've looked for a while for the fine mesh bags. My bra hooks always tangled in the larger holed/weave bags, even if I hooked them before washing. I also really like the sturdy plastic zippers. Nice touch! I use these to wash delicates, sox, and beaded blouses. Can't do laundry without them. A must have.
I love these! Something so small makes such a big difference. I purchased this set for travel and to use with my everyday laundry.
Travel- I store my clean undergarments in one and the worn undergarments in the other. Perfect for keeping my clothes separated and for unpacking when I get home. Helps me put away the clothes I didn’t wear without mixing them up.
Laundry- You could never guess how big of a difference these make. I have a lot of clothes and sometimes just want to wash the basics like undergarments and tank tops to prepare for the work week. Instead of throwing my clothes straight into the laundry hampers, I put undergarments in these bags after they are worn. I keep the bags in my hamper separated by color. All I do is grab the color(s) I want to wash for the week and I’m done! No sifting through laundry and being forced to wash full loads.
These are the nicest delicates bags I've come across. The material is sturdy and the zippers stay securely closed. I came back to buy a second set about a year after the first, since I found I was always wanting to use these instead of the random assortment of other garment bags I'd accumulated over the years. I have a top-loading washing machine that is VERY rough on clothes--everything gets tangled and knotted together--but these bags have held up perfectly: no opened zippers, no snags or tears.
Would absolutely recommend and repurchase (again!).
