What is this thing: padded hangers

I just wanted to mention something that has been a lifesaver for me and my dresses this year: ye olde padded hanger. Most commonly relegated to lingerie shops, these hangers have eliminated shoulder bumps from my sleeved dresses.

If you know what I'm talking about, you need these. Forget huggable hangers (velvet flocked wire hangers) - padded hangers are where it is at. So many great handmade ones to choose from at the thrift stores, too! And for so cheap!
