DryRight! Hanger Shoulder Forms

This product is just right for what it claims to be

I had bought a few similar forms many years ago. I was thinking of evaluating them first and then buying more, if I wanted to. Unfortunately, I never found them again and regret not buying more to this day. They just go over a hanger (pretty much any hanger), the shoulders are a bit wider and better shaped. They're also sturdier. I've had them for 10+ years and likely will use them for the rest of my life. Their width is not adjustable, but since they work fine for me, it's not a con for me.I've been looking for a long time for additional shoulder shapers like this. None of them looked right. This type looked as right as it will ever be... Their advantage is that their width is adjustable, which doesn't necessarily matter to me all that much, but on the other hand, had they been too wide and static, that wouldn't have been a good thing, either. They don't fit on all hangers. It has to be a very plain hanger, without big indents on top, hooks at the bottom, etc. When I tried to force the shape over a hanger that wasn't quite appropriate, the little flap underneath that holds it in place bent a little bit and looked like it was about to break. That means you better place them on the appropriate hanger and not mess with them anymore because if you play with this flap a few more times, it'll break.They're made in the US. That's refreshing, isn't it?! It certainly is to me as I'm making an effort to quit buying junk, if at all possible. The plastic used does not release this disgusting chemical stink as if you just walked into a dollar store. Overall, since there isn't much of a choice on the market (there's absolutely nothing like this in the local stores here), I think that's likely the best choice. The others I was considering looked sturdier, but the shapers also appeared ribbed in a strange way and I thought the clothes may get imprinted ribbing on them. It's hard to buy a pig in a bag and I don't prefer it, but the local selection is getting more and more limited by the day.

I am fortunate that I work in a place where I just need to wear a collared shirt. My go-to is the golf/polo style shirt. I typically prefer synthetic moisture-wicking shirts for ease of maintenance.I have been searching for YEARS for a solution where I could hang ironed shirts without the shirts eventually developing the dreaded shoulder bumps.I originally just tried to find larger hangers:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N3CWXOW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1which were not sufficient, although they *are* substantial and sturdy.Used in conjunction with the DryRight! forms , they get the edges of the hanger to shoulder corner of the shirt, as you can see from the picture. You can also see the different shirts will likely require slightly different configurations of the forms on the hanger.You can achieve a similar effect with normal sized hangers, but the larger diameter of the Neaties hangers seem to fit the DryRight! forms better.My wife has even experimented with drying shirts on the hanger which has effectively eliminated the need for ironing of the synthetic fabric shirts. Personally I feel that cotton shirts would still need a touch of ironing after drying on this hanger/form combination.Caveat: I did have to move the closet hanger bar out a bit to make room for the greater hanger width, although it was originally set a bit too close even for normal hangers.PROs:DOES THE JOB!!!Potentially eliminates the need for ironing shirtsCONs:Seems a bit pricey for what it is, although if you factor in the value of the time you get back from not ironing, I suppose it is a bargain.May require individual adjustments depending on different shirt cutsWhile the method for affixing the form to a hanger is pretty ingenious, it could definitely be more sturdily designed. I've already broken off the attachment for one of the forms.Personally I think the forms should have at least 1 more loop to allow the form to extend further, but that wasn't necessary for me.PROs *clearly* outweigh the CONsI've bought 3 sets of these forms.

A bit of a pain to assemble, but once you figure out the first one it is just a matter of duplicating the rest. Aside from that they do exactly what they are designed to do. I use these on all of my button down collar shirts for work. I wash at home and don't have a dryer so these keep my shirts from deforming in shape after they come out of the washer. Hang them from your shower rod or something similar. I bought a second set for my polo shirts as well. Owned for a few years now and have had zero issues with durability. Highly recommend if you don't have a dryer or just want to save electricity/money.

It seems like I’m always doing laundry. Several of the items my daughter and I wear are hand wash only and need to hang dry. In the past, I used Tide Smart Dry hangers, which I really liked. Unfortunately, they are no longer available. I searched in Amazon for something similar. I saw these DryRight! Adjustable Hang, Dry, or Store Hanger Forms and decided to give them a try. Note that I use them for drying only, not for storing. Overall, I like them. On the plus side, they allow clothing to dry without the usual “hanger bumps”. Also, they are adjustable to fit a variety of hanger sizes. Another positive is that they are made in the USA, which is not something many products can claim these days. On the downside, they need to be assembled (attached to hangers). They are not vented for air flow like the Smart Dry hangers. Lastly, I do not think they look as nice as the Smart Dry hangers. Despite these slight drawbacks, the hanger forms work and I would recommend them.

My Mother-in-Law had something similar to this item. They are great for hang drying shirts without getting hanger marks or the bumps on the shoulders. It took a little work getting them on hangers evenly, and they don’t work on all hangers. Definitely recommend.

These forms are flimsy when put together on the hangers and the "clips" they include don't go anywhere. The forms can slide and never get too snug on the hangers.
