Wrist Band Smelly Welly

[Flummoxed]

My monk issued wrist band serves to reming me of my sweetheart, who has an identical one issued by the same monk over a year ago and I like to think it brings me good luck...

... but boy oh boy does it stink! Despite regular and diligent scrubbing in the shower, it wiffs something rotten sometimes, particularly when it gets wet.

Any tips on avoiding this problem? How do the Thai's do it?

Try wanking with the other hand

I wore one for over 3 years and just cut it off two weeks ago - my sense of smell isn't that good but I was told that it stank!

If you're anything like me your hand is substantially bigger than my wrist and if it fits your wrist then no way will it get over your hand, whereas my wife could slip hers off and on at will and chuck it in the washing machine or whatever.

p.s. no major tragedy has struck since I took it off

Never known any Thai to wear them for too long. My wife and kids usually cut theirs off after a few hours.

I don't see any problem with keeping them on for a long time but when it starts to smell then I think it's definately time for the snip.

I cut off my marriage sai sin the day after and kept them in my travel holdall for a while.

Maybe after you've washed them, try rubbing beeswax or other some water repellant stuff into them.

Depends what it is made of.

The nylon ones are OK, but some are made from a very loose woven thread which goes "off" quite quickly.

I guess it must be bacteria. Have you tried soaking it in disinfectant ?

[ProfessorFart]

Cut it off! If you have some attatchment to it then you can still wack it in your wallet.

[Boo]

We usually cut them off after about 1 week then hubby places the string on the wall of the temple for good lucky.

[donna]

Cut the thing off and put a photo of her in your wallet!

Wash the bugger on a hot wash, then throw it in the sun for a few hours.

It may bring good luck by repelling mosquitos.

One euphemism translates into 5 fighting one

My thai is not very good but something along the lines of Ha Rung Nung

If you want a wank then Chuk Whow should be understood by most women.

why dont you cut that bloody thing of

i bet ye....that that will bring you more luck with the gals

[et33.com]

this is strictly a personal view

so stay cool about it

me used to wear these stuff

until it rot away and drop off

while others around me are too polite

to tell me it stink

it does get itchy sometimes

and then

one day

i just cut it all away

and i didn't die from it yet

and my life goes on as like before

forget about such external stuff

after-all

if the buddha is in your heart

your body becomes the holy temple itself

there is no need for such stuff

throw it and be good in your

speech, thoughts and actions

that is enough

no bad karma...

[Simbo]

It's pathetic to even keep it on for one day. Stop trying to be Thai. What the f---- is up with you lot.

[toklong]

If you cut it off and floss your teeth at the bar.....The drinks are on me....

I suppose then, you'd criticise anyone who spoke Thai, in that case?

[Jockstar]

Ye! cut it off mate. you've had it on for a while now. You'll be ok. You wont die or have bad luck forever.

[toklong]

OK,I know what to do.Cut it off...Dip it in wax a few times to make a candle....

Save it for your next visit to the wat.

[Pink Mist]

the first one is hard to lose, oooyyyy, so many memories.

[toklong]

I hope you do not have this problem with your socks and underware.
