Seletti Underwear Dryer from the Conran Shop

8-22-08-seletti.jpg
If you line dry your clothes with traditional clothes pins, you'll know that hanging unmentionables by a single clip is the way to go. But if you use a small indoor rack like some of us without storybook backyards, these small laundry items can seem to take up more precious space on the rack than they're worth. Enter the Seletti.
 
 

It's an expandable hanger strung with single clips to efficiently hang-dry underwear, socks or scarves, hopefully tucked away in a discreet corner.

$24 at The Conran Shop

$24 -- think I will keep using my plastic ones that I get from Chinatown or the 99 cent store. Made of plastic with arms and pegs hang out.

Hey, this would even work for those of us with 'storybook backyards.' :p I don't really like having my unmentionables flapping about in the breeze for my neighbors to see, so I always hang them inside.

looks like a simple DIY using a cheap IKEA coat rack and clothespins would be great

It looks cool, but I agree with AT4H, I prefer my cheapie ones from the 99cent stores. And I like that they are bigger because then the undies don't hang so close to each other.

You could save yourself the apparent aggravation of going to IKEA just for a coat rack and end up with a bunch of other stuff you didn't need, and just get it at Michaels or AC Moore or whatever you have near you craft-store-wise. I know $24 seems like a lot for about as obvious a DIY as you could ask for, but when are you going to sit down and make that? They should ask the question of us, how far back do our DIY projects go? What are some of the things you were going to make, and how long have you been coming up with other plans and not making those easy-to-make things?

I have a Muji take on this and I paid a fraction of the price.
