Abstract: A hook-and-eyelet retainer protects a brassiere hook-and-eyelet clasp from becoming detached in the laundry to prevent damage to the brassiere, other undergarments in the laundry and/or the laundry machine. A hook-and-eyelet retainer has a first and a second retainer portion that are coupled together by a hinge. The first and second retainer portions pivot about the hinge to receive a hook-and-eyelet clasp and wing band. The hook-and-eyelet retainer is then closed and a post on a first retainer portion extends through a closure aperture on a second retainer portion to secure the hook-and-eyelet retainer in a closed position. A plurality of teeth extends up from one or both of the retainer portions to grip onto the hook-and-eyelet clasp and/or the wing band. One or both of the planar retainer portions may be recessed to accommodate the thickness of the brassiere hook-and-eyelet clasp or clasp strap or hook-and-eyelet and wing band.
