What is a "hamper"?
A hamper is a basket or container used to store and transport dirty laundry. It is typically made of plastic, wicker, or canvas and can have a lid or be open. Hampers are commonly found in bathrooms, bedrooms, and laundry rooms, and are used to keep dirty clothes organized until they are ready to be washed. Some hampers have separate compartments for whites and colors or may have removable bags that make it easier to transport laundry to the washing machine. Hampers can also be used for other storage purposes, such as holding toys, books, or household items.
a restraint that confines or restricts freedom (especially something used to tie down or restrain a prisoner)
