Hey everybody! Alright this is kind of a weird question and I hope I don't gross anyone out. I got a shammy for Christmas (LOVE IT) and I've been using it for about the past 3 monthes maybe 4 times a week. I ring it out as best I can, and store it (in the orginally little plastic tube) damp like the package says. However, lately it has been smelling kind of funny. Are you supposed to wash them? I have never washed mine, never thought I had too, but then it started smelling. It smelled when I first got it, and it's pretty much the same odor only a little stronger. Thanx! ~Kyra p.s. Hope that's not to gross, of a weird question.

    Originally posted by aquageek Did you drink the wash water afterwards? Did it taste like mold or vinegar? For such a hygenic sport, some of you swimmers sure are gross. Not washing a chamois for 4 months is rather sickening. That's just nasty geek. Drinking the water, c'mon! And it's wasn't 4 months it was 3. Besides, all I wanted to know was that it wasn't going to ruin it. I'm sure you have your bad habits too!! :o (and no one ever said you had to read the thread)
