If you have enough money, most things are "disposable," including cars, houses, and girlfriends.

You throw away condoms because of hygene, which isn't applicable to combs. Unless, of course, you got head lice.

Yes, but the point is... do you wash them out and reuse them? Because if you don't, you're guilty of the same 'throwaway lifestyle' as me, except you draw the line at a different point.

quote: My point is that North American culture is highly wasteful, creating a throwaway culture where it's inhabitants don't realise just what kind of effect they're having on their environment - why use the energy, resources, packaging, landfill sites etc on a product that you should only need to buy once, not over and over and over again wasting energy, resources, packaging, landfill sites etc... That's the whole point, you don't see the bigger picture - just your own very minor inconvenience...

I guess the soap you use to wash the comb out magically disappears when it goes down your drain... or did you never consider what effect that has on the environment?

For that matter, if you're so concerned about the environment, why wash your hair at all? Do you eat meat? Use batteries? Drive a car? All of those things impact the environment a lot more than disposing of about 1/4 oz. of plastic comb monthly does.

Bottom line is... the time it takes to clean a $1.00 comb would be better spent on other things for a lot of us. And the resources used to clean it (hot water, soap, electricity) have an impact on the environment, too.

This has gotten quite silly Lovin' it.

You dirty, backwards Australians would not understand hygenic maintenance of hygeine items. I mean, you live with kangaroos and dingos, for crying out loud.


Anyway, I have laughed out loud reading this thread so far -- a thread about cleaning combs has been thread-jacked to condoms, STDs and environmentalism.
Got a trivia question -- especially for veteran Polys.

What light-hearted, trivial thread did NOT end having serious issues thread-jacking it.

Oh yeah, one more note -- I do not clean condoms that I have used.
(considering that using used condoms is counter-productive for its purpose -- SAFE sex)

I suppose it never occured to you to throw the comb away if dirty

What do they cost? 30 cents?

To start with ... I use a Pentium 75 processor as my comb .

To clean it, I rinse it under the tap.

I don't see combs as disposable items.

And having a pet cat clean a comb that you use -- icky.

I just throw my comb into the washing machine w/a load of clothes. Works like a charm. If I don't do that, I let it soak in a basin of hot water for a while, then clean it with a cloth.

This thread has served an important purpose, however: From now on, when I meet a new person, I'm going to categorize him/her as a combcleaner/noncombcleaner. And life will be immeasurably improved.

You and monkspider are just out to deny people their right to reuse, and clean their combs rather than dispose them!

I just pull the hair out, rinse it under water.
But then again, I don't use any 'stuff' in my hair.

I think he was talking about one of those expensive Chrome plated double wide combs that cost 40 bucks.

The grey gunk is most likely cheap hair gel or Semen.


All the years of having hair and worrying about it Ive never had anything grey come out of my combs. Try washing

And no, I do not have an expensive comb -- I just don't see any comb, no matter how cheap, as being disposable.
