Do you use washing powder tablets/capsules?

Have always been a powder and softener type of a person. Was thinking of trying the tablets/capsules for a change. Do they contain fabric conditioner or do you have to add it seperately?
Sorry if I sound thick - but never used them before.

I have had a quick glance at the boxes when I've been shopping but there was nothing obvious to say whether or not they contained softener. Maybe I didn't look properly.

I switched to powder fairly recently to save money (and it is )... the tablets you HAVE to use the amount they give you, but half the time you don't need that much.

Most don't contain softner though.

Oh, and be careful... some of the capsule ones aren't great with colours. I had a pair of purple trousers that were so old, no colour came out, I used the capsules, and ended up with all my lilacs the same colour
