This isn't about skankiness per se, but a related problem I'm having:
I recently did a session where I brought some bondage tools for the massage prelude. I wanted to not have to exercise self control while reframing from pawing the provider while she exercised her craft, and give her total control over what sort of intimacy was initiated. I know, sounds square. Well, the bondage was an interesting experiment but... Next time I'll want to try something else.
Anyway, the gear included a blindfold. So that was fun. Since then, I find that I sleep better if I wear the blindfold, so every night I slip it on at bedtime. Now, the session was just a couple of weeks ago, and this morning when I was packing up the laundry, I thought, I should wash this blindfold.
But... I didn't think I should throw it in with the socks, and washing it by hand might leave a soap residue or scent-- and, I mean, I wear this thing over my eyes all night-- so I want it clean, but... You know, not irritating to my eyes, and... Well, surely lots of guys have come up against this problem. So what's the proper way to launder a blindfold? Bear in mind that it has an elastic strap, and I don't want to loose the elasticity by washing it in the wrong temperature setting.
