This is a Chamois towel. It is thin and does not take up much room in your swim bag. Also when it has been used it is not heavy and wet. They are £9.99 each and come in all different colours.

Rash around eye from goggles
June 20, 2010 at 9:25 am | Posted in Equipment Care, Goggle advice | 1 CommentTags: eye, eyes, fucidin h cream, fungus, gasket, goggles, mould, rash, red, silicone, sore, swimmer, wash, week
Hi Everyone,
I have recently developed a nasty rash around my right eye.
When I inspected my goggles closely I found a mould/fungus inside the silicone eye gaskets.
I tried washing them with water and soap but could not clean the mould off.
Please note: Do not wash the inside of the lenses because you will rub away the anti-fog coating!
I advise you to wash out your goggles regularly, especially around the inside of the eye gaskets.
To get rid of my rash I appied Fucidin® H cream. After a week or so the rash had cleared up.
I have taken some pictures of my goggles after I tried to clean them (you can still see some of the mould): Click on the photos for a larger image.
