    Ha Ha!! Like many others, I have never washed it! Been using it everyday for some time tho, and it is just fine! I do get it wet with warm water before each use, tho..guess I will use a little soap next time! lol!

    It says to use a washing pouch. I don't have such a thing! Can you just throw it in the washing machine without one? Do you think it will ruin the strap. I don't sweat too bad so maybe I can just wash it by hand with some liquid dish soap or something.

    Nylon knee high = awesome washing bag (or if you get a run in the thigh portion of nylons, just cut off and use as washing bag)

    I never use a washing pouch for mine and it's been alright. I personally throw it in with my workout clothes that need just detergent anyway.. and its always come out fine each time.

    Gravedigging a bit here. This helped me alot, because all the "what not to dos" had me worried to put it in my washing machine.
