Just wanted to put out how fucked not only mentioning bedbugs is, but having that picture as well when you know damn well most of us are lying in bed before sleep when we check the new day’s meh.
@lowlypeon Many thanks for the forewarning, as I am currently eating breakfast. And I was juuuuuuust about to click to the last page, outta curiosity, based on sammydog01’s comment. I am forever indebted to you for saving me from my neurosis today.
@haydesigner I tried that but then I have to shower again in the morning or suffer with oily hair. Showering twice a day makes my skin itchy and dry. I should try double showers again but with some kind of moisturizer to apply. How do I shower when I pass out drunk when coming home? Ha ha. Thanks for your suggestion.
@shortman if you’re that oily, you might be showering too much or have a skin condition. Your hair shouldn’t be oily overnight… unless you don’t have ac. Super hot showers dry your skin out. If you do that, try a cooler shower. If you do feel like you need a shower twice a day, you don’t necessarily need soap both times. Sometimes rinsing is enough. Check your soap as well. It needs to be moisturizing. I personally use soap without sulfates. Those tend to be too drying.
I love Raw Sugar which is sold at target. The lemon sugar scent is divine. My partner says its very refreshing. I love the fact that I come out of the shower without looking like an alligator.
If you are on city water, they chlorinate it. There’s filters you can buy to remove it. Chlorine is very drying to the skin as well.
Dry skin sometimes becomes very oily to fight back against the dryness.
@shortman My husband was the same way. No matter how many times he showered and shampooed. His pillow was like it was coated in wax and he wouldn’t let me toss it. I kept several pillow cases on it.
I just want a pillowcase that protects my pillow innards from drool but doesn’t puff up then excruciatingly slowly deflate when you lay down on it suddenly…
I’d assume most of the allergens that might end up on my pillow would be on the pillowcase. This pillowcase makes it harder for them to get into the pillow itself, where they wouldn’t bother me, because they’d be covered by a pillowcase. So, they just sit there on this impenetrable pillowcase, causing me more problems because they have nowhere to go. Maybe I’m overthinking this whole thing. I hate allergies.
And now that I actually looked at the picture, I see that these are actually pillow covers, that go inside a pillowcase. Disregard everything I said… except for the hating allergies part. That still stands.
Sealing bed bugs in creeps me out! And if my pillows ever have bed bugs, I’m going to use a flamethrower on them! Then I’m hosing down the wife, the dog and the cat. Not necessarily in that order.
Yup…between yesterday’s offering and today’s thrilling case (as it were), Meh seems to have become a mini Morning Save. But the highlight of my life has been seeing the fourth photo, documenting why we need this in our lives. And they used two arrows!
I’m allergic to dust mites (amongst other things.) The guy at the Dr’s office gave me a pamphlet with pricing for pillow and mattress covers. So expensive. I’m currently having a terrible time with my allergies and I had the coupon from casemates, I finally bought these things.

@CANNONFODDER dust mites are totally different. It was recommended to me to wash all my sheets in hot water, bleach if they were bleachable. Dry on hot. He said if I had more than one sheet set, to take the sheets and dry them again on hot after removing from the linen closet, before putting on the bed.
The healthcare industry is fucked. Even more so with the O-Care bullshit.
Our son fell while climbing at Planet Rock and broke his back. $1,200 for an MRI at the hospital. $900 (our deductible not hit) via insurance at an independent imaging facility. $500 if we paid cash.
Plastic and foam back brace at an independent facility:
Retail price $1,300 fucking dollars
Not sure what insurance will do.
But if insurance does not cover, we get a “generous” 25% off that retail price - $975 fucking dollars. For a hunk of plastic and foam that cost no more than $25 to make.
There are so many things the healthcare industry could do themselves to keep the train wreck that is coming at them via companies like Amazon taking charge.
@RiotDemon I got a Moneual U60 Pro RYDIS UV-C Vacuum Cleaner in one of my Fukos and it claims that “the UV-C lamp emits ultraviolet light and kills dust mites, disinfecting and removing 99% of the bacteria and allergens in one area within one second.” I never got around to using it, so I don’t know if the claim is true. I’m not sure how I’d even determine if it killed dust mites or not. The reviews for this item on Amazon aren’t the greatest, probably because people expect it to do real vacuum stuff, but I see there are other similar items listed on the page that did get good reviews:
The only way to get dust mite “residue “ out of your pillows is to wash them which is hard on pillows if you have to do it frequently. Better to cover the pilllows with this and pretend it isn’t there.

“sealing in your pillow’s delicious natural juices”…
how do we know they’re natural?? or delicious for that matter? Not gonna go there…
That last photo? You guys are a bunch of sick fucks. And I mean that in the best way possible.

/giphy sorry not sorry
This disgusting oily guy needs body oil proof bedding. Keeping bugs out isn’t good enough! My poor bedding! Gross!
Not trying to be a smart ass… have you tried showering right before bed?
@haydesigner I tried that but then I have to shower again in the morning or suffer with oily hair. Showering twice a day makes my skin itchy and dry. I should try double showers again but with some kind of moisturizer to apply. How do I shower when I pass out drunk when coming home? Ha ha. Thanks for your suggestion.

@RiotDemon no ac here. I may try moisturizing body wash at night and then shampoo and conditioner only in the morning. Thanks for your suggestions.
@shortman My husband was the same way. No matter how many times he showered and shampooed. His pillow was like it was coated in wax and he wouldn’t let me toss it. I kept several pillow cases on it.
Will these make my bamboo pillows any more usable?
@ELUNO I bet if you let bugs tunnel through them your pillows will soften up.
I just want a pillowcase that protects my pillow innards from drool but doesn’t puff up then excruciatingly slowly deflate when you lay down on it suddenly…
How cool are these? I don’t want something that gets hot quickly.
I’d assume most of the allergens that might end up on my pillow would be on the pillowcase.

That zipper is going to be a problem!

@Woody1
@Woody1 Well, I won’t be eating it, why not donate it to a worthy sided-bro?
@Woody1 Every so often put your pillow in a freezer for 24 hrs. Kills stuff (particularly dust mites)
Yup…between yesterday’s offering and today’s thrilling case (as it were), Meh seems to have become a mini Morning Save. But the highlight of my life has been seeing the fourth photo, documenting why we need this in our lives. And they used two arrows!
Odd pricing on Amazon for the Standard size case - a typo? Not $9.00, but $9.04?
But nice deal here at $18, $20, and $22 for four cases instead of one.
That’s why I sleep on the couch. They’re not called “couch bugs” right?
/giphy think about it
@awk Ha!
Glad my vmp is being spend shipping wine…
So this only controls cotton bed bugs? What about polyester bed bugs?

@RiotDemon Recent studies show it’s way tougher than “expected” to get the residual effects out after clearing the Bed bugs. Wonder if dust mites are similar (just harder to get all those guys). https://arstechnica.com/science/2018/02/more-nightmare-fuel-bedbugs-create-cesspool-of-poop-and-histamine-in-your-bed/

@RiotDemon if is labeled “medical”, we’re fucked.

They’re so blind, short-sighted and stupid.

I don’t travel, so no bedbugs.
Mites? meh.
Nice pillow cases…soft and not stinky like so many are right from the package…let’s see if I can pull these off while I toss and turn!!
These are great. Just remember that large is HUGE. I regret not ordering medium.
@SeveralPeople they fit my king size pillows perfectly.
