ClickClix protects socks from those strange washing machine disappearances

The question of what happens to socks while they are in the washing machine so that pairs often come out single is one of the stranger phenomenon that came with that invention. It’s enough to leave a person wondering if there is some sort of mini Bermuda vortex, or maybe even microbial creatures that hide in the washer water supply and eat the socks.

The creator of ClickClix noticed this mysterious disappearance, too. The product consists of a total of four pieces: two rings and two buttons. To attach them to socks or other clothing items, the user lines up the ring and button on each side of the fabric and presses until they click together. No sewing or gluing is required. There is also an applicator that can be purchased separately if backers prefer.

ClickClix comes in regular and large so that it works with various thin and thick fabrics. Backers interested in keeping their socks together may also want to check out the Sock Slide. This campaign seeks to raise $5,000. For $5, backers get three sets of ClickClix with an expected delivery of February 2015.

Sock Slide holds pairs together in the washing machine void

Sock SlideIt’s been said that there is a black hole in every washing machine into which one sock always falls, breaking up most every set. While Sock Slide may not reveal the location of past socks, it does solve potential future mysteries. It also comes in six different colors so that each family member can have their own color, and similar sets can be easily told apart. Seems like a great idea for adults, and $7 for five Sock Slides seems like a pretty good deal. However, getting kids to follow through with this seems like it may be a rather daunting challenge. Expected delivery on this is September 2014.
