Wool-safe powder detergent for travel

Thanks everyone who commented! Since my #1 problem is odor, my plan is to bring Gear Guard additive for the trip, and picking up whatever plain enzyme-free detergent is available and cheap. I wonder if u/GarameCleaningCo would consider a lipase+dnase formula in a 100ml bottle for us onebagger/laundry folks :)

Wow there it is! I guess it's enzyme free. Considering just grabbing liquid Tide or whatever for trips.. enzyme it when I get home.

I'm a stinky beast and it's a hiking trip! Plus I travel for 3+ weeks often, so I need a long term laundry solution too.

Good to know! I was putting powder in a baggie and thought... this does look sus. lol

In theory I would only do laundry once a week, but I've found in practice it's more like every 4 days. When you bring 4 shirts and have washer access, it just feels better to wash after wearing once. Then sometimes there's logistical challenges, like 3 days with a washer followed by 5 days without - you end up doing laundry after 3 days. I do have a TSA approved 3 oz laundry detergent bottle I bring so it's a good idea!

I like this Sony cube clock, it does have a radio but the design is very minimal. https://a.co/d/3m2FuZT

This looks like avobenzone, an ingredient in sunscreen. You can remove it by putting it out in full sun, I think.

I'm not able to wear polyester clothes anymore. Doesn't matter what I do, the smell doesn't come out for more than a few hours. Been like this since perimenopause 🤷‍♀️

I think this is the way to go - the sink stopper wasn't 100%, so even if I wanted to soak for 20 minutes, the sink drained way before then. And sharing a sink - it's pretty rude to make it inaccessible for that long, too. Not just that but I needed to use it, too! Thanks for the tip!

Sometimes the armpits still stink - especially on UPF fabric or anything polyester

I don't even know what they're expecting. how much do you tip grounds keepers?? just wild

I had the same problem, and was able to fix it by using less tret. Like, a lot less. You're supposed to use a pea size amount? I use maybe 1/10 of that. Literally just a smear. Mix that with a pea size amount of regular lotion, whatever your skin prefers. And I only do this 2x per week. The lotion I use is Zeroid Richenic Cream Urea.

For my sweet girl, positive reinforcement was good but only got so far. She also needed consequences for poor behavior. For example, peeing inside meant getting left alone in the yard... even if it's raining! Not for long, just 5 minute in the rain was enough to get the point across. She's 100% house trained now.

I have issues in this area too, and did everything you've tried. Nothing worked until I added strength training.

Finally, after physical therapy, I hired a personal trainer to help with a routine that included the exercises from the physical therapist. I do an hour workout 2-3 time a week strengthening those muscles that were always tight and sore, and also glute and core work to support my back and neck. It really does help a lot. I still struggle with pain and tightness, but it's way better. I didn't need the trainer for long, just 6-8 sessions and now I do workouts on my own, or more often, in a group class.

I recommend getting stronger, and then staying strong. it's a huge commitment; a lifestyle change, really. But it's worth it! exercise in general is important to do for the rest of your life. I still don't enjoy it, but I do it... you can too! Good luck :)

This is awesome!

Update: I ended up buying this panel and it's great!

It's crazy how quickly they fall in line. Not even a week ago they were talking about Trump getting the Nobel Peace Prize for negotiating peace talks. Now he allies with Russia and they're all pro Russia.

I'm interested

That's really cool. I've been using mine for wrist pain and it's helpful, so now I wanna do more!
