Doing some market research...

Do you tend to buy the 250g or the 500g?

Thanks!

Little nut things that release a natural soap in the washing machine - you use them instead of powder.

No residue (or very little), leaves clothes really soft, I think works out cheaper than powder, good for the environment etc. Great for washing nappies.

Larger size it is then (going to be stocking them and wanted to know what would be best to buy - I was assuming larger too)

Do you need to use softener with them as well?

Nope, they come out really soft even without it
