I didn't know this item existed until I started searching for an easier way to thread elastic through my grandkids' shorts casings. What a clever gadget and I received two different kinds to boot. You can also use it to push the corners out when inverting a pillow case. (But use cotton swabs for your ears!)

I wished I had this tool every time I needed to restring a pair of sweat pants! It wasn't until I began sewing that I learned there was a tool like this out there. It's not perfect, you still end up fighting with wads of fabric, but it's SO MUCH EASIER than doing it by hand. A longer stem would be helpful, but this does the job.

Honest reviews on Clover Bodkin, 2 types

How many times, while trying to coax elastic through a casing, have I had a safety pin come open, snagging the fabric and refusing to come back out without a fight? More than I care to count, that's how many times.

I'm not a seamstress by any stretch, and end up learning about things the hard way. It's been years since I needed to perform the elastic-through-channels maneuver, and I was dreading it. I was just clicking around and saw this item. I read the description and ordered without hesitation. I had to be patient, because the order arrived without this item, but Amazon replaced it, and I have a new best friend! (Forgive the hyperbole.) I didn't even use it right the first few times -I didn't realize that the larger one comes apart, and a pair of "claws" holds the elastic -and I loved it anyway. Now that I actually read the directions, I will never be without one of these.

I bought these because I like gadgets, especially classic sewing ones. I've only used the bodkin for wide elastic. After years of using a safety pin, I have to say a bodkin is much easier. Not necessary, but nice. Now i just have to find a spot where I always keep it because it would be easy to lose. I almost never use the very narrow elastic or round stuff, but the design of that one looks very good.
