Title: De-linting packers
Post by: Lee on March 09, 2011, 11:02:18 PM
How do you guys keep your packer clean?  I corn starch mine regularly and send it through the washing machine about once a week, but it still seems to be a magnet for lint.  I can't figure out how to get it off.  Any suggestions?

I wash mine when I wash the rest of me and try to wear light colored underclothes.

You send your packer through the washing machine?! I'd say hand wash it and use tape pre-wash to get most of the lint off.

I wash it by hand as well, but I find that the washing machine works a fair amount better.  There just seems to be perma-lint.  :laugh:
I'll try the tape idea.

The tape is a good idea. My packer got so grody that I had to throw it away. :( It is very tragic to throw away your own dick.

Mine gets linty, just from contact with clothes (I don't send it through the washing machine).  Hand washing under a running tap gets rid of the lint.  I usually use antibacterial soap, which works well to deodorize it.  I have a white microfiber wash cloth that doesn't shed lint.  I let the packer air dry on that, and then use corn starch powder to get rid of the lint-gathering stickiness.

I typically wash it at the end of each day, though have gone as long as 3 days in between washes (at which point it starts to smell like a urinal--sorry, TMI, but truth because it's an STP).
