Stupid Question, I know...do all of you wash it by hand or throw it in with a load of clothes or what? If so, warm water, cold water? Thanks!

    I would hand wash or gentle cycle in cold.
    Which reminds me.... I have NEVER washed it. EWWWWWWWWWW
    I am so gross.

    I rinse mine off every time I use it and then about once a week, I hand wash it in the sink with laundry detergent (warm water, not hot) and hang it to dry.

    I rinse it off in the sink, and once in the while use a tiny bit of soap, always by hand.

    I rinse it well after use and hang to dry. When I wash it, I just threw it in with a load of clothes, warm water, detergent. Haven't had a problem so far.

    I just put mine through the wash with all the rest of my clothes. I do it once a week because it STINKS.
  • I wash mine with my clothes on cold and then let it air dry. It seems to work!

    I usually take it in the shower with me once a week and wash it with body wash. (When I remember, I should say.)

    I take mine in the shower with me every time I use it.

    Just rinse the sensor part with water, and the elastic band with mild soap & water.

    :flowerforyou: I'm going with the hand washing or bringing it in the shower method...seems the least damage if any would result
