I like this product! It is cleaner that the other kind of pings! Not sure why they call them that but…..absorbing sock. They dry nicely? I spin mine out in the washer. Then hang to dry. I use them in my enclosed porch. The door leaks when it rains hard . Would buy again. Works great!

I previously purchased another brand which was highly rated at the time but since discontinued, probably because it was total garbage. I don't know why PIG is so expensive, but it works much better than the other brand which cost almost as much. PIG is not an ideal solution, but sometimes you need something quick and simple, and PIG comes thru. It seems to work best with water that is slowly trickling/dribbling rather than bursts of water at a time, because the outer fabric seems to be a tiny bit repellent before it starts absorbing. Overall, it does the trick and I would buy again.

This is the more expensive option for these absorbent socks, and well worth it. No wear or tear or UV degradation. So, what I did was toss these into a 5 gallon bucket, packed em in the bottom, so i didn't have to use any more scented oils than possible, and dumped in about 2 qt of assorted clove, mint, sage, eucalyptus oils and some water to bring it up to top of packed socks. A day later I laid them in a dotted line around a flower bed. Deer nibbled away at plants at other bed, but not that one. They dried out nicely in fall, but if they had been wet when i brought them in, I'd have laid them out in a sheltered area to finish drying out before storing for the winter. fyi I browsed Amazon for bulk sources of scented oils? extractions? Look around, don't buy the little ones carefully made for aroma therapy, the qt size bulk ones work just fine.

I've had the original Pigs with the blue fabric covering. I like the fabric on these better. The greay color blend better with the surroundings. The fabric seems to be more durable than the original blue set I tried. I'm hoping they will last longer as a result. The new Pigs feels like there may not have as much absorbent filler, but not enough to make a big difference. I would buy these again!

With yet another big rainstorm here in NJ, I was able to put these PIG socks to the test immediately. During the past winter, we have had a series of big rain events. The subsoil hasn't had a chance to dry out between storms, and I've been getting small seepage puddles along two walls in my basement. The socks did absorb some water, but I suspect it was much less than the claimed capacity. I had plenty of "free" water that did not get absorbed and had to be mopped up. So while the socks DID work to some extent, I'm not sure if my $60+ was well-spent.

Very absorbent
