I'm in this demographic. When I was a teenager and living with my parents, we used liquid fabric softener, but when I went to college and had to deal with a shared laundromat, I pared down my laundry products to make it more convenient: a medium-sized bottle of liquid detergent, and a box of dryer sheets impregnated with fabric softeners.
Now that I'm living on my own, I switched to a giant box of powdered detergent, which I prefer, but would have been more inconvenient to handle in college. I still use the same kind and brand of dryer sheets, and I'm not convinced I'm missing anything.
