don't know anything about it although it seems alright. or should i say seams...
Not to knock Ozmeath's suggestion but I would be a bit concerned with using something that permeates both sides of the garment like this wash in one.... woudl have some strong chemicals next to some pretty vital areas.
With Scotch Guard - or a similar spray on treatment -you can direct the surfaces to which the treatment is applied & keep them away from the parts of the garment in close contact with sensitve skin...
