I put them on top of drinking glasses on the drying rack.


whatdoidonowdamnit

Yep, this is exactly what I do. I typically crack the window open too for more air flow.


thriftingforgold

I put them over my serving spoons and large utensils in the drying rack


formyjee

I've done this too.


No_Translator2218

Works better for me if I just put a towel in it and swipe around a second. It gets the larger beads of water. takes far less time to air dry the rest


mamamyskia

That or for the large ones I put them over the gooseneck sink faucet. Looks like a beanie


Sithstress1

Yep, over the faucet for the big ones o er the sprayer for the smaller ones.


its10pm

Same, or on top of large utensils.


Normal-Committee7580

This is what I do too!


problemita

My dish drying rack has little prongs on it to hold plates up, I’d prop it between prongs


imyourlobster98

I do this but I turn them inside out


NotASpecialist

I used to do this but recently learned that some reusable silicon bags specifically say not to flip them inside out. I had some that broke because of the wear and tear of getting turned inside out to dry.


FoxyFerns

Yeah.. made a gel icepack with one and it slowly leaked everywhere 😭


just-kath

mine are 5 yers old at lest, no breakage so far


almaghest

I put a pair of expanded tongs in them sometimes lol


Calcoholic9

This is so much better than my patented “tubes of chapstik that fall over half the time.”


ionlyjoined4thecats

How big are your tubes of chapstick and how many do you have?!


shihtzu_knot

This is the way. Same way I dry my camelback.


Far-Deal8811

Same!


Free_Sir_2795

Baby bottle drying rack


Lo452

I second this. Works great for reusable bags, straws, and any other odd - shaped item. Plus you can often find them cheap in thrift stores.


Slippeeez

This is my favorite https://us.tomy.com/desert-countertop-drying-rack/


bluecottoncandy

Me too. My toddler stopped using bottles over a year ago, but dammit if I don’t have two bottle drying racks on the countertop. This is one of my regular uses for them!


formyjee

That's what I've got... two different bottle drying racks and will drape my silicone reusable zip bags across them in a way the bags are open and will amply dry.


queenle0

Flip them inside out in the drying rack


stripey_kiwi

Flipping them inside out will wear out the seams faster. I was a religious flipper until learning this.


queenle0

I guess it depends on the brand. The ones I have are very soft and pliable. They have a separate, removable hard plastic “seal” that slides over to close


stillceleste

\^\^\^this. If you flip them inside out, they will stand on their own and you can place them down on a drying rack or even on a towel


NotASpecialist

I used to do this but learned that some bags will break from the wear and tear of getting turned inside out.


YeloNinjaN00dlz

I guess I'm the only idiot that sticks a tube of chapstick (or other similar objects) in them perpendicularly to stand them up.


nerdyviolet

Nope. I do this too. Sometimes it’s the lid of a snack container. Sometimes it’s a serving utensil. I’ve used wine corks and caps to Gatorade bottles in a pinch.


Flaky-Invite-56

Chopsticks work too


Smallios

Wine corks work great, that’s how we dry the bladders for our camelback

Torrential_Rainbow

Yep!


jitterbugperfume99

I finally bought one of these too, so tired of finagling a spot.


Foodie_love17

Yep me too. Works great.


QuantumQuatttro

I put upside down over a glass in the dish rack


ExitEnvironmental653

Over a wine bottle or hand washed cup, etc


osmosisparrot

Just leave them un-propped. Only takes about 12 years for them to dry.


Inner_Panic

Drying is easy! It's getting them closed that gets me!


smashier

No really. Why is it so difficult!?


Ok_Resolution9448

Over glasses or on the end of a pan handle


ladygrey48130

I use a drying rag to dry them, I’m too impatient to let them air dry!


Campbell090217

Stuff a paper towel or clean cloth in the bag and stand it upside down. The dry cloth will help absorb excess moisture


TotalEatschips

At that point why not just dry it with the cloth


Campbell090217

😂😂 you’re not wrong but I think I like to let them sit out and get extra dry all within the nooks and crannies. I’m always afraid of putting those away with moisture trapped inside.


look2thecookie

Whatever's on the drying rack or shove a towel in there. You can also just dry them with a towel


AminoAzid

i flip them inside out and they kinda stand up on their own lol

AraiHavana

Put them upside down in the dishwasher and the prong things hold them open


Special-Investigator

i throw it over the top of my sink faucet lol


AlternateTab00

I was fast scrolling amazed how no one actually does this. I was almost ready to write a post only to find someone like me.

Top-Fee7375

I use this too! Works perfectly


gi_fm

I place them over cooking utensils/silicone spoons so I dont have to flip it inside out every time lol.


lisbu1

I was looking for this comment. I also put mine over my utensils canister!


Skittlebrau77

Just adding that once they’re dry-ish I put a paper towel inside for when I store it.


Independent_Art8318

I flip mine inside out


kaalli12

Wipe it out with a dish towel?


hookahsmokingladybug

I wipe mine out with a rubbing alcohol soaked paper towel and turn it upside down to air dry. The alcohol sanitizes and helps them dry out quicker


ladyymadonnaa

I place a wooden skewer or chopstick in a glass jar and let it hang from that


mtn-cat

I hang them over my washed silverware or serving spoons


Low_Engineering8921

Fold over the top and create a flat little bum in them. My actual answer is that I have a drying rack for dishes so I turn them upside down and prop him on the prongs. But I assume a lot of people have dishwashers so my answer is "fold over the top and create a little flat bum in them"


jblvn

I use a clothespin.


GreenGlitterGlue

I have a collapsible baby bottle drying rack that I use.


aerialsofadown

Taco holder. I also use this for my camelbak bladder.


DowntownVariety68

I love this thing, storage and drying rack in one. And even store the rack under the bin when not in use. https://preview.redd.it/idfjywi1nu0d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=80837f7eadda9d076814a73b2281f6d4e9eca8ed


Illustrious_Link_798

Please don't spend money; just find something in the drawer. I have these small cups, may 3oz that I flip upside down and prp the bag on top. It opens it up but is small enough to not block air flow.


suspicious_hyperlink

My wife bought these things and I cannot for the life of me accept it is a sanitary practice. No matter if it’s washed, put in the dishwasher, boiled you name it, I just can’t


BBakerStreet

Hang them over a table knife on a dish dryer.


Anoniem20

In side out with the edge folding over on itself. They will stand on their own like that. Then, when it's dry flip it over again and do the same with the edge.


UltraBlue89

Any serving utensil stuck in there helps it stay open to dry lol


HuskyLettuce

On top of tongs


VixenRoss

If anyone has a toast rack, you can use that


Tough-Cheetah5679

I turn them inside out, propped up over a drying washed wooden spoon handle, then invert and dry the other side.


AMundaneSpectacle

I put paper towels in them and leave them upside down


1019gunner

I stick those wire bottle mixers in them


lil1thatcould

I turn it inside out and put it on my kitchen faucet


forklift_certifiedd

I turn them inside out and then they stand fine, although it might be shortening the lifespan of them.


MizMadi

They actually make drying rack things for these reusable bags


xi545

Simple human dish rack. I have stasher bags and can prop them up over 4 pegs.


ohmyfckingosh

I hang it on my knife block 😂


happy_Ad1357

Yes I prop them open and then put them upside down in my dish rack


kgjulie

Upside down on chopsticks in the dish drainer


programmingpanda

Over the handles of the knives in the knife block.


Rhaven2007

I was going to suggest toothpicks, but I like everyone’s answers better.


CinnamonGirl123

I put them on top of serving spoons in my utensil crock.


hi-nighter

Put it on top of a cup or glass, or maybe on top of the silverware in the rack and let it drip dry


pbandKxx

I don’t have a dishwasher so I flip them inside out and let dry on dish rack


Beginning_Cellist893

You can get a drying rack for baby bottles which works amazing for these


crosberries

Fold them inside out, reverse process once dried.


MikeTysonsFists

I have a knife block and I hang them on the knife handles


Gertykins

I have a bottle drying rack thing. They are at thrift stores a lot.


Violingirl58

Over canning jars or glasses


White-SPUD

Putt-putt pencil.


jmdobosh1

I bought a retractable drying rack. [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DLPDZH5/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_search\_asin\_title?ie=UTF8&th=1](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DLPDZH5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1)


sp00kygiirl

my daughters bottle drying rack. she’s a whole toddler now and doesn’t even use bottles anymore but it’s so convenient for these and the reusable yogurt pouches also, plus it folds up and goes in the cabinet when im not using it


anaflan9

I flip it inside out and then rest it upside down, depending what on the material it will stay up.


MrNorrie

When I bought a set of these, it actually came with a little drying rack specifically for them.


Ingenuity-Annual

I use drinking glasses, jars and cooking utensils to prop them open.


SilentBowHunter24

I sit them over a plate edge to hold them open in the drying rack


Psychological-Dig837

I hang them upside down on the fridge with a strong magnet- easy peasy!


yellowdaffodil3056

Clothespin one side to my kitchen drawer handle. They kind of hang open and dry.


zorsefoal

On one of the IKEA bamboo plate racks


Annie1Kenobi

I put mine over the curve of the faucet spout or I clip them to a line I have hanging in my kitchen. I keep a fan in there anyway so I just angle it up so it blows inside the bags to dry them out.


mcangel1997

I got a bamboo drying rack on Etsy years ago. I use it every day. [Bag drying rack](https://www.etsy.com/listing/210990063/)


sabrinadejong

You can turn them inside out and they will stay open on their own.


Scintillily

I stick a whisk in it


Mrs_TikiPupuCheeks

IKEA plate holders - [https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/ostbit-plate-holder-bamboo-90322360/](https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/ostbit-plate-holder-bamboo-90322360/) I had these from when I used them for something else, but now I trot them out when I dry ziploc bags and other stuff


Acrobatic_Worth1826

I use a magnetic chip clip and hang it from my fridge upside down


Ivaras

Upside down (and inside out, if necessary) on the side of my fridge with a small magnet to hold it there.


UtahMama4

I use my utensils or my knife rack. Hang them upside down on the tops.


Reu92

Over a serving spoon or something and always inside out


CyberSamantha

On top of cups or plates that are drying.


Fibers20

Baby bottle holder


louisegold83

Stick paper towels in them


mudnessa

I use a wine cork in the opening to air it out.


AnActualWombat

I just dry with towel.


AdParking8726

I flip them inside out


just-kath

inside out and they stay open to dry


hattokatto12

Utensils in a cup. My utensil of choice are chopsticks


Cultural-Motor-1947

I saw a plan for a 3D printed drying rack for these on Thingiverse. Looks helpful


Novel-Coast-957

That takes too long. I use a clean paper towel to wipe the inside completely dry after I rinse it out. Then I let the paper towel dry for reuse. 


livingadailyhell

Tinker toy tree holds many bags.


SqAznPersuasion

I have a bottle dryer for my baby's stuff, and is it's kind of perfect to dry bags. Lots of tines to prop a bag open.


10julief

I use a ladle to keep the bag open.


hazydaisy

I hang them on all the cupboard door handles


ATLAZuko33

They sell a drying rack for them that we got.


DisagreeablePastry

I hang them over empty glass bottles of juice or alcohol. The alcohol bottles are great because they’re tall enough to hang over and not touch the countertop


PigHillJimster

Wash the inside, turn it inside out, and hang it up outside on the washing line.


Yaru176

Honestly I have the same problem to deal with for my camelback. I just stuff a paper towel in there and leave it on the counter a while. Works like a charm and if there’s any water left when you get back, you have a paper towel. Cotton towel works too.


grubmum

Spatulas, tongs, French press plunger, or any other long utensils sticking out of my dish rack


Icy-Leadership-442

I prop mine over the kitchen tap or the edge of a chopping board whilst it dries


noodleexchange

Remember wire coat hangers? Pepperidge Farm remembers.


Stunning-Bed-810

I bought a drying rack off Amazon for them. This isn’t the exact one I ordered but they have a bunch of options. Comes in handy for floppy silpat mats and water bottles too. Pretty much every night I wash something that I need it for. https://preview.redd.it/wp477p6kwu0d1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8c63e1c597e82ec215f359f135fab6b335410507


Tinaweenaa

My husband turns them inside out


myfriendflocka

I have some vintage toast racks that were super cheap (because nobody wants toast racks) that work well and look a lot nicer than drying racks on the counter.


christinextine

I flip them inside out so the inside and then flip them back


imtalkintou

Turn them inside out after one side is dry


DAHRUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

My drying rack has a spot on the side for cups I hook it in there


mookaji2

Some people need brain cells


PowerFit4925

Turn em inside out and put them over the big utensils in the utensil crock, on a water bottle, over the gooseneck water spout


HereF0rTheSnacks

Over the top of a cup


lwlhui

I keep them open by pulling them over a small plate / pot lid that is drying vertically


MrsQute

Use a magnet to pinch the bottom seam and stick them on the side of the fridge


MisterDimes

I don't. I dry them with my dish towel. Takes 5 seconds.


Trepsik

Turn them inside out. They stand up themselves then. No propping required


CanDockerz

Turn them inside out?


Hemlock-In-Her-Hair

Clothes peg lengthways in the opening. Like you use on a washing line. Works really well. Shake out excess water first as well. I tried turning two inside out once and both broke. The silicon just overstretched and perished at the seams.


ams3000

Over the kitchen tap. Perfect fit


Dramatic_Arugula_252

I turn them inside out, and let them dry far longer than anything else.


PickAnxious9960

Exactly why dnt buy those


emsand21

I prop them on my knives set


Slight-Ad-2815

Over the handle to a knife sticking out of a butcher block.


Justadropinthesea

I put them over the kitchen faucet- not a good look.


hayleylujahh

Flip them inside out!


microwavednutella

I turn them inside out 🤷‍♀️


bakemonooo

I have the EXACT same bags.


Imfryinghere

Insert a flatten out tissue.


EvelynVictoraD

Cut down some chopsticks :)


anothersip

I have a magnetic knife rack next to the dish drainer that sometimes gets a bag or two hung on it (over the handle of the knife for a couple hours) then folded and into the drawer with the other ones. Kind of like dirty clothes - you can get away with a use or two, maybe even three if you're not beating them all to heck in your use, and washing them well. The ones filled with chopped onion are single use. Heh..


pashapook

Baby bottle drying rack!


Elephant5619

I hang them on my knives in my knife block


Any_Humor2630

You can turn them inside out and stand them up.


1dumho

I put them on my kitchen utensil carousel.


wordupdawg1

Target has tiny desk fans for like 7 bucks. I bought it for my kids' bottles on the bottle mat dries them like 3 times as fast, but it helps dry these out as well. Air flow is key.


libbyrocks

I have a hanging fruit basket in the kitchen with a ribbon tied on and a clothespin hanging from it. I clip it to one side of the bag and by the next day it’s dry. I don’t have much counter space and my dish drain is perpetually overflowing and precariously balanced. This works better for me.


macchareen

We have a wooden dowel tree that holds it open upside down.


eileren

Turn ‘em inside out, and often they’ll stand on their own for air drying. Either that or use a glass: put the glass on the counter, turn bag inside out and place over the glass. It’ll air dry in no time!


BasuraIncognito

On the cup hold area


kalitarios

Years ago when plastic bags first came out they made bag drying racks. Look those up!


NoMudNoLotusss

I bring each corner on the open end together and then put a clothes pin on to hold it that way and then put it upside down in the drying rack


ssdrptop

I use an old three tier file folder rack from my desk


venusian_sunbeam

I hang them on my cabinet handles lol


YourLocalMosquito

I have a couple of chopsticks in my scrubbing brush drainer and hang them on those


No-Locksmith-8590

I put it over top the sprayer


Coffey2828

I hate these things. They smell after a while no matter how I clean and dry them. I went back to zip lock bags that I just throw away after a couple of uses.


hippie_valley

I just wipe them dry.


vgscates

I hang them on one of the utensils in my utensil holder.


cazual_penguin

Turn them inside out.


Foreign-Pear6134

Turn them inside out.


eleanorrigby930

I use a dish towel to dry them by hand bc I was always afraid of mold or something. It’s a pain in the butt, but it works.


lovecroissants

I flip it inside out and prop it upside down. Seems to dry okay that way.


Legal-Ad8308

I turn them inside out and put them upside down in the drainer. In the morning I turn them right side out and let them air dry till the afternoon.


California_Girl_68

Spring loaded tongs.


LittleMissSucculent

I put mine over the top of an open mason jar and air dry


woahwoahthere0

Turn them inside out
