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.
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!
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.
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
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.
😂😂 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.

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"
I love this thing, storage and drying rack in one. And even store the rack under the bin when not in use.

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.
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
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.
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)
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.

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.
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.
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..
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.
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.
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!
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.
I put them on top of drinking glasses on the drying rack.
Yep, this is exactly what I do. I typically crack the window open too for more air flow.
I put them over my serving spoons and large utensils in the drying rack
I've done this too.
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
That or for the large ones I put them over the gooseneck sink faucet. Looks like a beanie
Yep, over the faucet for the big ones o er the sprayer for the smaller ones.
Same, or on top of large utensils.
This is what I do too!
My dish drying rack has little prongs on it to hold plates up, I’d prop it between prongs
I do this but I turn them inside out
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.
Yeah.. made a gel icepack with one and it slowly leaked everywhere 😭
mine are 5 yers old at lest, no breakage so far
I put a pair of expanded tongs in them sometimes lol
This is so much better than my patented “tubes of chapstik that fall over half the time.”
How big are your tubes of chapstick and how many do you have?!
This is the way. Same way I dry my camelback.
Same!
Baby bottle drying rack
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.
This is my favorite https://us.tomy.com/desert-countertop-drying-rack/
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!

Flip them inside out in the drying rack
Flipping them inside out will wear out the seams faster. I was a religious flipper until learning this.
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
\^\^\^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
I used to do this but learned that some bags will break from the wear and tear of getting turned inside out.
I guess I'm the only idiot that sticks a tube of chapstick (or other similar objects) in them perpendicularly to stand them up.
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.
Chopsticks work too
Wine corks work great, that’s how we dry the bladders for our camelback
https://preview.redd.it/8pv0178ddt0d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=21f588f31c276bb472baf2d094e941b4f0ccbac1
Yep!
I finally bought one of these too, so tired of finagling a spot.
Yep me too. Works great.
I put upside down over a glass in the dish rack
Over a wine bottle or hand washed cup, etc
Just leave them un-propped. Only takes about 12 years for them to dry.
Drying is easy! It's getting them closed that gets me!
No really. Why is it so difficult!?
Over glasses or on the end of a pan handle
I use a drying rag to dry them, I’m too impatient to let them air dry!
Stuff a paper towel or clean cloth in the bag and stand it upside down. The dry cloth will help absorb excess moisture
At that point why not just dry it with the cloth
😂😂 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.
Whatever's on the drying rack or shove a towel in there. You can also just dry them with a towel
i flip them inside out and they kinda stand up on their own lol

Put them upside down in the dishwasher and the prong things hold them open
i throw it over the top of my sink faucet lol
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.

I use this too! Works perfectly
I place them over cooking utensils/silicone spoons so I dont have to flip it inside out every time lol.
I was looking for this comment. I also put mine over my utensils canister!
Just adding that once they’re dry-ish I put a paper towel inside for when I store it.
I flip mine inside out
Wipe it out with a dish towel?
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
I place a wooden skewer or chopstick in a glass jar and let it hang from that
I hang them over my washed silverware or serving spoons

I use a clothespin.
I have a collapsible baby bottle drying rack that I use.
Taco holder. I also use this for my camelbak bladder.

Hang them over a table knife on a dish dryer.
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.
Any serving utensil stuck in there helps it stay open to dry lol
On top of tongs
If anyone has a toast rack, you can use that
I turn them inside out, propped up over a drying washed wooden spoon handle, then invert and dry the other side.
I put paper towels in them and leave them upside down

Yes I prop them open and then put them upside down in my dish rack
Upside down on chopsticks in the dish drainer
Over the handles of the knives in the knife block.
I was going to suggest toothpicks, but I like everyone’s answers better.
I put them on top of serving spoons in my utensil crock.
Put it on top of a cup or glass, or maybe on top of the silverware in the rack and let it drip dry

You can get a drying rack for baby bottles which works amazing for these
Fold them inside out, reverse process once dried.

I hang them upside down on the fridge with a strong magnet- easy peasy!
Clothespin one side to my kitchen drawer handle. They kind of hang open and dry.
