Yeah, real bone. Didn't even think that they might absorb the liquid, but I guess they can. So maybe anything involving a good dunking is out. Thanks!

If you want everything clean and white, you might want to try plastic or just buy new hairpipe.

Yeah, that's what it is just the natural yellowing from years of use
Could go with plastic but really hate to. Maybe I'm a snob in that regard. Maybe I'll buy new one's. Thanks!

No they're not a funny yellow, actually in some ways they're just starting to look good. They're finally distinguishable from plastic hairpipe. (There's that snob again
) I've actually been teetering on just using them. I just don't want anyone thinking that I'm not taking care of my dance clothes. So I thought if someone had a good and easy way to clean them I would go ahead and do that, otherwise, I'll probably use them as is. Thanks!
This is great, post a problem and get three replies the same morning! Thanks everyone! If anyone else has something to say on the topic, I'm all ears
(oh wait, those are wings)
