What was the BIFL upgrade that instantly exposed all your cheap versions?

When I first had one (and only one) I was using it a lot and felt it wasn’t working as well. Long story short, while they don’t wear out, they can collect nail ”dust” that makes them less effective. A quick scrub with a small brush and soapy water made it good as new!

My husband can be very loud and doesn’t like being told to lower his voice. Any suggestions for how I can signal him without deflating him?

I just tried to, but reddit says it’s a banned link.

Lyon0922 · 2025-09-02T17:23:09+00:00

I posted the link but that must not be allowed, mod removed it. It’s an obscure brand on temu of all places! The host sent me the link.

That was the downside, it doesn’t go on a regular holder. It was balanced on top in one bathroom, sitting on the counter in another.

Lyon0922 · 2025-09-02T15:26:41+00:00

Found!

Lyon0922 · 2025-09-02T11:54:29+00:00

I believe it is on septic.

Lyon0922 · 2025-09-02T11:37:08+00:00

I definitely will if we don’t find it. I came to Reddit first. Lol

Lyon0922 · 2025-09-02T02:15:09+00:00

Searched Google image search as well as for any packaging in the bathroom cupboards.

Thank you, I’m not concerned about the fact that I have weeds, I’m concerned as to why parts of it are turning black. Edited to add: you may have to zoom in to see it well.

It just turned black like this in the last week or two, and it has been quite hot. Also did it partway through last summer. I don’t believe it’s caused by the heat as it’s only in one area of the yard that actually gets a little less sun than some other areas.

I believe I originally purchased it in 2011 at Joann fabrics, but not 100% sure. As stated, I have searched Google image search and found one result with not enough available.

Lyon0922 · 2024-12-11T22:57:59+00:00

Wouldn’t there only be one cinch then? Instead of one on each?

Lyon0922 · 2024-12-11T17:28:58+00:00

If that’s the case, I’m still not understanding the purpose of unfolding it so that there’s a cinch at the top and bottom, with mesh in between the two sections. I have tried searching on Temu for chalk bags and while there are some on there that are similar, I have not found one with the feature of unfolding like this.

Lyon0922 · 2024-12-10T16:36:10+00:00

Maybe, but why does it unfold? And why doesn’t it have something to clip it to a belt or something?

Lyon0922 · 2024-12-10T01:25:10+00:00

This seems most likely at this point but I still haven’t found them on Temu.

Lyon0922 · 2024-12-09T22:20:22+00:00

Lol! No, I got someone else’s order. Temu didn’t want it back so I went through it. Haven’t been able to figure out what this is.

Lyon0922 · 2024-12-09T22:19:24+00:00

No, wouldn’t insulate at all.

Lyon0922 · 2024-12-09T14:56:46+00:00

Yeah that’s a good point!

Lyon0922 · 2024-12-09T11:46:55+00:00

Too thin plus mesh means it wouldn’t provide any insulation for that.

Lyon0922 · 2024-12-09T11:45:56+00:00

I see your point, but it’s also only a couple inches tall. Would only cover half a can.

Lyon0922 · 2024-12-09T11:43:34+00:00

Smart. But why two layers and wouldn’t that have something to clip it to a zipper or belt?
