The Original Sun & Sheets Compact Adjustable Travel Bungee Clothesline

We travel extensively with carry on bags only, and therefore rely on sink/stream washing of clothes. We first bought two of the latex, "Gravity Travels Gear Clothesline," as the reviews were good and it was inexpensive. After our first two month trip, those started to fray, and they broke during a second long trip (saltwater? stretched too much?). On the other hand, this "Sun & Sheets Superior Quality Compact Adjustable Travel Bungee Clothesline" (as well as the chinese estore product: "YYST Travel Clothesline") is holding up quite well after over 5 months of use.The one thing we don't like as much about this product as the YYST product is that it is slightly harder to attach in weird places and the clips are a little difficult to disengage when using a large tree trunk as one end of the line.. Nonetheless, it is a durable, well crafted product that does the job. Bottom line, we usually end up using two lines when we do laundry and this one typically works just as well as the one we slightly prefer.

Unlike some other clotheslines I looked at, this one has a carabiner on each end that allows you to attach the elastic loops to any number of ways you need to in your hotel room or campsite. Separating the braided cord to insert a corner of a sock, shirt or underwear took a little work. I'd suggest attaching the clothes to the line before stringing it up. The braids are too tight when it's stretched out. I elected to use some clothespins because I didn't want my shirts to have that pinched look where they were attached to the cord. This was very handy although the carabiner clip is a little tough to open.

Works well, you just have to find two sturdy fixed objects to attach each end to. The weave is so tight, I find it difficult to open the web and latch clothing in. Instead I have simply resorted to hanging clothing on it and it works just fine.I am impressed that you have more than one option to hang the line, with a hoop and a hook on each end. The item is sturdy and has held up well.I recommend.

I used this on a recent trip. It easily fits into carry-on luggage. It's sturdy and the clips and rubber rings at the ends make it easy to put up in a hotel room. If you have delicate clothes, you can pack some clothes pins, otherwise you can pinch the clothes in between the line strands or just hang clothes over the line.

I brought this to go on vacation because I often wash my clothes while we travel, and like to hang up swimsuits and towels when we’re in the Caribbean. This worked really well. The strands open up so you can stick the hem of an article of clothing into the rope and it will stay put. The ends make it possible to hang in lots of different places. There’s no suction cup or anything. I have to have some place to anchor it.

The twist is so tight that I can't seem to slip clothing in. I've tried untwisting but no help. I now use it like a stretch clothes line and use clothes pins or just hang my clothes over it. Its well made.

I remember as a young girl my grandmother would dry our clothes and sheets outside on a clothesline even though she had a dryer. I will never forget how the sun would make those sheets & clothes so crisp and fresh, something a dryer just doesn't do the same way. Shortly after sharing this memory with my family I came across this product online. As we were planning to go camping I figured this would be perfect for our towels and bathing suits. I had no idea how frequently I would be using this product not only camping but at home as well, both outside and inside. We dry a lot of our clothes on hangers so this comes in handy a lot when hanging space is limited. The clips and bands make it possible to connect the clothesline to just about anything. The length is adjustable and the rope smooth so clothes do not snag. It's a very well made product and we couldn't be happier!

Great for my trip to Costa Rica where I hand-washed items and line dried them. One of the orange straps broke halfway through my stay. It wasn't hard to make it work without that strap. But the line snapping and all my laundry falling to the ground obviously wasn't ideal.
