Reddit mentions: The best clothes pins

Edit: I'll keep adding things as I remember them. I'm not adding the usual stuff like laptops, ipads, gym gear, etc, because those seem...common sense?

Updated: 24 Nov 1252 hrs AST

• Cold meds with pseudoephedrine
  
• Magnets (for lockers if you get one)
  
• 3M command hooks of varying weight limits
  
• Strong plastic coat hangars
  
• 550 cord (I'd say no more than 30' of it)
  
• Headlamp with red and white light (find one that you don't have to go "through" the white to get to the red!)
  
• 2-3 good quality plastic clothes pins to hold curtains closed or some other task (the ones linked are identical to the ones at the Dollar Store for, I think, $4 for 12)
  
• Knife sharpener
  
• Pocket knife
  
• Suction cup hook for the shower (if you use a bath scrubby)
  
• Nail clippers and nail file
  
• Small FA kit (bandaids, etc)
  
• Small sewing kit with the right colours of thread
  
• GoToobs for stuff like shampoo and body wash (and aloe gel if you burn)
  
• Bose noise cancelling headphones (with a spare battery)
  
• Camera (don't be the guy that brings a DSLR with 5 lenses)
  
• Couple of power adapters if power is different
  
• Water bottle (and denture cleaning tablets to clean it if there's no bottle brush)
  
• Couple of locks (combo or keyed-alike, varying sizes)
  
• Travel blanket
  
• Inflatable neck pillow (the best one I've ever used)
  
• Anker USB battery bank (love Anker products!)
  
• Anker PowerPort
  
• Depending on living accommodations, I also have a "travel kitchen" that I take with me that has a good Santoku knife, cutting board, pepper grinder and garlic press.
  
• 2-3 tide pods because it could be a few days or a week before you get to the PX
  
• If you know your sleeping arrangements, buy a "bed in a bag" for that bed size. Nothing like having your own good sheets to slide into after a rough day. Make sure you wash everything before heading over, so they're soft and ready to go when you get there.
  
• A collapsable shoe organizer that you can use to store gitch, socks, t-shirts, etc, or even a collapsable sweater organizer (or two) if you want more horizontal space and less vertical.
  
• If you're coming home or going somewhere on HLTA, don't forget to pack a civvie-pattern backpack. Don't be the guy wandering around a foreign airport wearing your day pack and combat boots in jeans.
  
• Birthday/Anniversary/special event cards that you can mail from your location (shows you were thinking of them well in advance of your departure and before the event). Bonus points if it's a mushy anniversary card to a significant other, ensuring that your return is "extra special".

turtles are awesome :)

If I were stuck on a deserted island, these clothes pins would be infinitely handy. I could of course use them to hang up my clothes to dry or air out, but I could also use one when the BO gets a little ripe to plug my nose. I could set clothes pin booby traps to catch critters to keep me company (not to eat!! I'm a vegetarian) or could use them to hold together banana leaves to try to make a raft. I could clip my hair back with them. I could use them to make a signal fire. I could break them up into toothpicks (dental hygiene is important!). No safety pin? That's ok, I'll use a clothes pin. I could char one and use it as a pencil. The possibilities are truly endless!

Thanks for the fun contest :)

Wooden Clothespins are a great thing you can use. Super cheap, disposable, easy to mark with pens/markers. Take an afternoon to draw characters on them, monsters, important NPC's. Even if you just use a simple Minimalist style like this you can easily tell characters apart.

You can get about 100 of em for $15 or so. Its what one of my old DM's used, and they worked pretty fine. These were also in the related items, and could work just as well, though they are clearly less disposable, being almost 50% more expensive.

When I bought either the original game or the first expansion, it came with a package of mini clothespins which I did not order. I always wondered if that was part of the game or an accident or someone did me a nice favor. In any case, they work perfectly for this scenario... not as hard to put on as paperclips (nor damaging), easy to keep together and mix-up, and kind of cute and fun.


Something like these:

Yep, it's about continuous usage, but also keep in mind that articles with suggested time limits for nipple clamps always seem to err on the safe side by an extreme margin. I've had clover clamps on for 1hr+. It was fine.

People's bodies are going to react differently, and also different types of clamps will cut off circulation at very different rates (i.e. these vs. these vs. these vs. these [NSFW], etc.)

Just take them off if you're turning purple or becoming numb; don't worry too much about specific time limits. Honestly I've never heard of someone getting injured from using nipple clamps for too long. In the grand scheme of BDSM safety concerns, it's pretty low on the list.

Why thank you! I'm really enjoying playing with them, and I have several colors! Amazon, Here's the link!
OUNONA 40pcs Wooden Clothespins Durable Clothes Pegs Pins, Colorful photo clip, 2.9 Inch (Random Color) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CJV5RZ4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Pgy0DbCQMM38R

this is a good idea.

there are three (or four) styles of practice mute

rubber - works pretty well, easy and safe: https://www.amazon.com/Ultra-USA-Rubber-Violin-practice/dp/B00ICK6D9C/

metal - even quieter, but balances more than it sticks, so you have to be careful that you don't let it fall off and scratch your instrument while using it: https://www.amazon.com/Mudder-Violin-Practice-Silencer-Silver/dp/B01N0GKLZR/

hybrid - i don't have one, supposed to be good combination of the other options, but i heard they don't always fit right: https://www.amazon.com/Otto-Musica-Artino-Practice-violin/dp/B006GCNUHQ/

DIY- till you get one of the others: https://www.amazon.com/Natural-Wooden-Clothespins-Shirts-Sheets/dp/B01KGBP6I8/

You can buy a big bag of nice clothe pegs for a few dollars. I keep a pile of them in a drawer in the kitchen. You can use them for bread bags, chip bags, all sorts of things.

This style works best:

I highly recommend this. I can hang all my delicate bike gear, bras, and even jeans in like one square foot.

It's a bit smaller than a regular load. The washer holds about twice as much as the dryer, so you have to do two drying cycles for each wash load. It sounds like a lot, but the wash cycle is only 15 minutes max (i usually set it to 12 minutes) and the dry cycle is 5 minutes max (i usually do 4 minutes). The big limitation for this is drying space. I can usually only do a load a day, or one in the morning and one at night because of drying space. I have one fold up drying rack like the one below and one drying clip thing like this:

Drying rack:
AmazonBasics Foldable Drying Rack - White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H7P1GPO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_gXo7wbZ0V7E64

You and your wife should both go work clothing retail for about 3 months and then you will be folding everything exactly the same way, perfectly every time without even having to think about it. Worked for me and my husband.

Also get yourself one of these

Thank you! And of course! Both from Amazon, linked below.

• Grid
  
• Clips

I have two of these hanging from one of our shower rods. With the vent in the bathroom running heat all winter my diapers and clothes actually dry pretty quickly.

You are definitely correct, it's the same mold, and for some reason they painted the seeds.

Here is the watermelon version on Amazon.

If you look at the picture of the watermelon version, the seeds line up with your picture.

My wife enjoys it when I use these french tickler clothespins. Your mileage may vary.

This is something really small, but I bought a package of cheap wooden clothespins and keep them in the kitchen. I use them to clip everything closed (even bags inside of boxes, like crackers), which keeps things fresher and lasting longer.

Also these types of products for drying your clothes:

I personally use Sea to Summit product. It has long enough line to hanger all of clothes.

But these are not mandatory, if you are traveling in Japan, they usually have cloth hangers, and even you do not have one, you can improvise with door knob or towel hanger or edge or table. Be creative.

I use this, and no word of lie it's one of the best things ever, especially if you have a lot of t-shirts.

You can get plunger + 5 gal bucket washing machine substitutes to clean those reusable diapers. You could reasonably hang them in the tub or out the window.


Added bonus of having this in your backup is that you've prepped for washing your own unmentionables, and you won't have to deal with any mystery rashes that baby might develop in reaction to all that extra shit going on with disposable diapers that you haven't experimented with previously.

Near check-out I'd like to see chocolates (truffles or cherries), clothespin hooks for drying bras, fabric measuring tapes (with your store's name and number on them) and maybe this deodorant in a travel size.

How is that easier to prep than this:

This may help.

Go see a doctor.

I do something like this and have a hanging drying rack on the shower rod. It's this one. Mine is a bit smaller and folds in half when not in use.

Something like this should work.
https://www.amazon.com/NiftyPlaza-Durable-Plastic-Alligator-Garments/dp/B078PPX984/ref=asc_df_B078PN5LZX/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=241956005702&hvpos=1o3&hvnetw=g&hvrand=6360497023077224928&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9003787&hvtargid=pla-410833518461&th=1

I don't find that they ride up, but then I have a big butt and don't wear skinny jeans, so that might be it.

I live in a small apartment, too, but I live alone. I air dry my clothes because it saves me a little bit of time and money, and because heated drying is rough on the clothes.

I'm lucky because my clothes rack is on an old revolving door that disappears entirely into the wall - kinda like this, but with a single metal bar instead of shelves. I use one of these hanging racks for my socks and underwear. It's very handy.

Cheap is a matter of opinion, but these are stainless clips, 10 of them, for $9 on Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/APL-JZ-18-Stainless-Clothespins-Office/dp/B00LE5SI7M/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1486782965&sr=8-3

Im fairly certain thats a clip from https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0001E839U/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I use a tension rod (a pretty large one I suppose, it’s between two walls) and then just hang dry the clothes on the hanger. For any small items (socks & undies) I use something like these clip hangers on the tension rod.

You need to put some weight on the hanging film. I use this to hang my drying films, and this on the end of each individual film.

Each film is different also, some tend to curl more than others, or band in the middle. After my film is totally dry I cut them into manageable strips and then inside a nice heavy book overnight, then on to scanning.....

these things right here

These guys. Cheap.

Buy a couple packages of clothespins and keep them in a decorative basket in the kitchen.

If you do decide to try cloth. This hanger is cheap and takes up very minimal space for drying.

Whitmor Clip and Drip Hanger - Hanging Drying Rack - 26 Clips https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0001E839U/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_VykUDbC2QGDW6

I bought a collapsible clothes hanger that attaches to the shower rod. It gives me space for two-three days of clothes to dry after the quick wash in the shower.
example

my drawers broke in my ikea furniture so I am down 2 huge drawers. I got one of these- https://www.amazon.com/MiracleFold-Laundry-Clothes-T-Shirts-Organizer/dp/B009V0YSJY but it was a bit different off of ebay and it has been a life saver.
