Flummoxed Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 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?

pnustedt Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazza Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 ... 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? 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.

Thetyim Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 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 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thetyim Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 <deleted> ****************** what is the thai equivalent of the "5 knuckle shuffler ?" 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.

et33.com Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 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...
