I do really love this gem. However I purchased because the sales lady told me it was $8. I went home and immediately used it. I have purchased bra savers before and well they didn't really do much. My bra was swished around and squished. The plus size one is awesome. It is very durable. Made of 100% polyester. Helps to protect your bras from receiving any damage from other items in your wash.. It looks like a small cylinder. There is securely covered wire at the top and the bottom. The bra is zippered in, The bra comes out looking exactly how you put in it only cleaner.Really protects the underwire. The bad thing is the lady gave me the wrong price. it was $22. At first I was upset. Then I liked how well it seems to protect these expensive bras. I've wasted more money on sillier things and what was the point of getting upset. I used it before I double checked my receipt. Next one if I ever want another Ill look for it on sale
