RESEARCH ABSTRACT: At design time, the design team interviewed 330 housewives.
27% of the interviewees separated their underwear in a separate bag.
46% agreed to separate the following suits from other clothes.
The total comments were that special clothes (children's clothing-underwear) should be separated. Field research has resulted in better product sales. Helping the family health.
CHALLENGE: It was important for the design team to maintain this distinction while baskets are open on top and usually wider than tall, hampers are taller with a smaller footprint and sometimes have lids. The benefit of a basket versus a hamper or a bag is that it performs double duty: It stores dirty clothes for transport to the laundry room and carries the folded, clean clothes back.
