An apparatus for conditioning fibrous materials includes a rotatable drum in which the fibrous material may be tumbled, as in an automatic laundry dryer, and held, to the interior wall of the drum, so as to be in form-retaining relationship therewith, a base which has on an exterior surface thereof a conditioning agent for the fibrous materials. On contact with the tumbling fibrous materials, the conditioning agent is removed from the base and is deposited on the materials in sufficient quantity to condition them. Usually, the conditioning agent is a fabric softener and/or antistatic agent of the synthetic organic surface active type, the base is a thin flexible sheet or strip of material, such as paper or suitable plastic, the conditioning takes place in an automatic laundry dryer and the base is held to the dryer interior wall by an adhesive, such as a pressure sensitive adhesive.
