    Abstract: Dryer products that impart antistatic properties to textiles and methods for fabricating such dryer products are provided. In one exemplary embodiment, a dryer product comprises a water-insoluble, moisture-permeable, enclosed container and a desiccant within the water-insoluble, moisture-permeable, enclosed container. The desiccant is adapted to impart antistatic properties to the textiles during a drying cycle. In another exemplary embodiment, a method for fabricating a reusable antistatic dryer product comprises the steps of providing a desiccant adapted to absorb moisture and be solubilized in the moisture, depositing the desiccant in a water-insoluble, moisture-permeable container, and enclosing the desiccant within the water-insoluble, moisture-permeable container.
