I keep the blue case at home, and the red one in my purse. They said to use for storing the most recently discarded pair, just in case something happens to the current set of aligners. But when I move on to new aligners, I clean the old ones really well with something like efferdent tablets and a soft brush, let dry overnight and place back into the original plastic bag (leave unsealed) that they came in. Then toss when the next set becomes backup. I am on set #26 and still have my first ones for comparison. I recently got those out (nearly a yr old now) and there is no gunkiness or odor. So cleaning and drying well should certainly keep them nice enough in the plastic bag for two weeks. So I always have a case with me: eating out, at work, in travel. Hope this helps others avoid dumpster diving or worse, losing them altogether. Reviewing some of your posts, I came upon this one (again) and just wanted to add another idea.

That way, if I take one thing with me, I take everything! I did have to buy a bigger purse though to carry it in... Slightly bigger, but bigger still.

Very peaceful and beautiful. New York sounds great though! Yes, can't say I've given up the napkin entirely, BUT these days I never put them on the table!

Enough to make me try to remember to take my case along with me (I'm also a napkin queen). Secondly, I'm from Dorset, yet live in New York. Were you in the New Forest? Again, very funny blog. Love it. Firstly, scary story! Enough to make me try to remember to take my case along with me (I’m also a napkin queen).
