Um, yeah, so how do you keep spandex from stinking?

Like sweaty lady bits?
I only fit into two pairs of pants right now, both spandex workout pants, but an hour or two into the day, they smell wretched. What's the trick?

You could try using Bac-Out, which is a a natural enzyme spray (also available in a bottle for soaking) with lime juice. Sport Wash is another option, or another detergent specifically for performance fabrics. Bac-Out would be my first choice.

I'd use the stripping tricks touted for synthetic cloth diapers. The seams are traps for residues. I've used cloth diaper stripping techniques for a variety of laundry with stubborn smells. Once the residues are gone, bacteria-killing methods work better and for longer.
