Various embodiments of the present disclosure include a dryer device having an open-ended body with a central securing mechanism coupled to an interior surface of the body. The securing mechanism includes a panel with a plurality of slits to form moveable flaps configured to secure a dryer sheet within the panel such that the sheet remains secured to the dryer device while tumbling through fabrics in a dryer load. The dryer device can further include a plurality of protrusions extending from an exterior wall of the open-ended body. Each protrusion can have a rounded shape that curves along a distance between the first open end and the second open end to create the generally spherical outer shape of the dryer device.
