18 year old female
Every day, probably 3 to 4 times daily
Clothes—especially shirts and sweaters—ALWAYS fall off of them.
Shirts, dresses, some skirts
I have normal hangers for everything, but I have a scarf hanger and skirt hangers with clips on them
Colored plastic
I hate the clear plastic ones and especially the wire ones. They always get bent and are annoying. Plus they don’t ever have the little prong things, so clothes fall off more easily.
Yes, they have to have those prongs and also I have specific colors for different types of clothes
Probably 10-20 hangers per year, if not more.
They are broken or bent

Colors are nice, but I don’t care much
Never
Need more; new clothes

Wider necklines slide off; leaves crease in jeans; wire bends and doesn’t hold shape of clothes
Shirts, dresses, jeans, pants, coats, sweaters

Plastic—wire can rust and it gets on the clothes, they leave dents
Little plastic ones: too small for use for anything without straps
Yes—I have pink ones. Color matters. I get different colors for my husband.

Bend out of shape, break, get lost, rust. Thick plastic ones are best.
