I have used & re-used the entire box a couple of times already while waiting for a leaky faucet to be repaired in my laundry room. I have to do the laundry so I turn the faycet off when not running the machine but still have to deal with the leak while it's running.
Right out of the box they have a very strong mildew odor. After using them & letting them drip dry outside, the odor is gone. The seam on the tubes is not sewn, it's pressed or possibly glued shut but the seam on one tube was split open about half the length of the tube. I didn't notice it until I had used it & I picked it up to put out for drying. What a mess! (This & the initial odor are the only reasons I didn't give a 5 star review.) Be sure to check those seams before use!
I highly recommend this product!

I highly recommend this product!
The new batch I got in my last order was altogether different. Upon opening the box I found they had a new more robust looking and feeling sock material, and they felt a bit denser and more substantial than the previous. I assumed, then, that they somehow improved on an already great product. After the first use, however, I realized...not so much.
They DO still absorb a ton of water. However, these new socks now allow the silicone material inside to leech out. This poses two problems: 1) they are messy to handle and leave some of that silicone material behind on the floor, and 2) I can no longer put them into the washer to spin out some of the bulk water to help them dry out quicker.
You can see in my photos the difference between socks before and after water absorption (previous version on left, new version on right). These would have gotten the full 5 stars if I had written my review a month ago. But with this new version, I’ve got to knock it down. The last thing you want when trying to keep your basement dry in an all day downpour is to have that job get messier and more expensive.

We used to put towels down, but then we ended up not having towels for showers! So now I use two “socks”, air dry them, and it is working great!
