I use a couple of different types but they all work... I like the ones that have the sponge in the centre and work best with running water.
Good advice for the newly married but my wife is jaded to my ways and this would immediately lead to suspicion.
My advice is with the most heinous of holidays near, Valentine's Day, which is designed to cause all males to either sink or swim, all the while tied to a large rock, is to make your purchase but spend an equal amount on the wife.

I my experience, most "don't let the <sig other> know" purchases are based in guilt over the purchase, specifically, that it's something you want, but don't really need and the <sig other> is your conscience incarnate.
I use that as a razor. If I wouldn't want to tell my wife, I prolly don't make the purchase - it's my only (if flimsy) restraint filter.

Hell, I gota face the boss every single purchase! Just ask how it went for that new shiny tv! Haha.. no dont!
My wife, bless her heart, always says if I want it, I should buy it. It probably eases HER conscience. I wasn't going to, but I might cave on one of these!
Honestly, my initial comment was made in jest! We have been married long enough that we don't have to make like for like purchases, we know that it will all even out in the end. Having said that we don't make larger purchases without talking to each other as that can lead to us going overdrawn at the bank etc. There is a long list of things that need to be paid for, before vape gear. General household stuff and the kids come first. Toys for either of us come at the bottom of the list. It will happen when it happens. I have found I enjoy things much more if I save up and buy them.
but you have been gifted quite a bit already. so why bring it up?Being single, I don't have to get approval or tell anyone what I get......but the flip side is..... being disabled......I'm broke and can't buy much of nuttin anyhow
for the record, i'm also disabled and on a fixed income, as i have been since my first day in Reoville.
Mamaw and I have separate banks, let alone separate accounts. One less thing for us to "discuss".
We split the bills. She gets the groceries, I pay the mortgage. She gets the electric bill, I have the car payments. She gets the water bill, I get the Satellite & internet &.....
Yea, it's a little slanted. But a woman needs money for "her things". And I have a bigger paycheck. And she is an excellent cook.
As far as Reos, that's " my things". And she just laughs and says that I traded one habit for another.

Sounds a lot like the wife and me. We got married at 30 and decided to just keep separate finances. We just handle it too differently. I'm more electronic, she still writes everything down and mails physical checks for her bills
Recently I pushed against the slant and told her I'm not buying her smokes anymore as the price went up again. When I mentioned I might get a new Reo model, she I'd have to get her a carton
Side note, I've told her if she switches to vaping, I'd pay for all the gear and supplies.
I was simply trying to make conversation, kinda like everyone else. If it sounded to anyone like I was whining or begging, I assure I wasn't and I apologize if it seemed that way. Yes, I have been incredibly blessed by folks here, and am very grateful for it. For the record, I've not asked anyone to give me anything, til the other day when I offered to trade some cotton for a piece of rayon. I have also refused things that have been offered, not because I didn't want them, but because I didn't need them. I've also given quite a bit when I could and hooked other folks up with things when I knew of someone that was giving something away.
Wow, that sounds EXACTLY like me and Mrs. Havok! Except that I do the cooking too.
She typically rolls her eyes at all my vaping purchases but will ooh and ahh if I get a particularly colorful one. She loves the purple SL I got a year ago.

Deb, I have a huge box of rayon.....did you get some or do you still WANT some? I will stick some in an envelope and send it your way. (This offer is out there for anyone else who might want to try some rayon......please take some off my hands.)
I got some yesterday sweetie. You're sweet to offer, and I've seen you offer many times. Gonna try it later today.
I think you're going to like it. Heads up that you might need to use a tiny bit more in your coil than you do with cotton. Rayon doesn't swell up like cotton does, so it needs to be pretty solid in there. Don't just cram it in....but don't make it loose enough it'll slide through easily like we do with cotton.
Thanks, looking forward to trying it. I've been super happy with KGD, but will see how I like the rayon. I didn't care for the Tx Tuff, so if anyone would like to try a bit, pm your addy and I'll send you some til I run out.
Well said and sounds wonderfully familiar (except for the kids. Not that they don't come first, it's that we passed on that option ).
