Would you share your knee-sleeves (or other gym equipment)?

    With immediate family? Sure. Your mom birthed you, wiped your *kitten*, cleaned your vomit, and smiled the whole time (Or, most of the time). A little sweat ain't no thang.

    Your spouse? You've traded sweat more than once, in all likelihood. So, 'nuff said there.

    With someone not in immediate family? Nope.

    Sounds about right.

    If there is a word for the opposite of a germophobe, I'm probably that, so I do get why people would find sharing this stuff gross, but my gross-threshold is pretty high.

    Agree with ya both

    Oh I can´t help but laugh.... It reminds me of the time when I went to Greece with my ex and our newborn in a rented flat. For some odd reason we forgot to bring towels. To save on the holydaybudget we only bought one big towel and shared the entire vacation. I was not ideal. It went with us to the Beach... we showered... oh man. I will never forget towels again. but we survived even if the towel smelled funny the last days... yikes LOL. I´m sure the mum forgot her gear at the gym today. Not many would share on purpose... ;-)

    Family? Maybe. My knees don't sweat though.

    How about the stylus/keypad for the credit card reader at the pharmacy pick up counter? That's nasty, gym not so much.

    If it's all you've got available and you need it - sure, why not?

    You could always go and wash after your last set, it's not like it's going to kill you. When did everyone turn into such a bunch of p*u*s*s*i*e*s?

    Somewhere in the last 15-20 years or so. Before then nobody wiped sweat off gym equipment.

    I have my own knee wraps (chopat), wrist wraps and even bring my own squat sponge. I do share the sponge with my husband and son if they want to use it but mostly it's just me using it for barbell hip thrusts. I don't share the wraps with anyone, they can get their own! Our gym has a foam roller that looks just nasty and it skeeves me out when I see people use it. I just wait until I get home and use my own.

    I shove my knee sleeves in my gym buddies face after workouts to gross him out. Can't imagine sharing them S:
