you can buy a spray called static guard. if you dont have the spray ,a softner sheet works.you can also put regular hand lotion on your hands and rub the clingy clothing.

I know what you and chrystal_lynn are talking about. I have them, too... especially raw at my ears.\n\nOne way with the jeans button is to tuck your (t-)shirts (or an undershirt/ spaghetti straps that's long enough when your t-shirts aren't) in, that way the buttons don't come in contact with your skin.\n\nAnother way is to get prescription anti-allergic/ anti-histaminic topical creams applied on the area of skin that will come in contact with the button before wearing your jeans. Can't recommend a brand name of the medicine for you as it differs from country to country.\n\nI don't understand how come clear nail polish doesn't do the trick... because I have them done even on the underside of all my metal wrist-watches.\n\nHope these help. Good luck!

use a cotton bud and when not in use push it through all the buttons and down the sides, a cheap and easy way to get rid of dust etc.

try leaving your hair down. It might be from keeping it in a ponytail

I have the same problem. After 10 miles body glide has started to rub off but definitely helps. Be careful with vasoline. Can leave some nasty yellow stains on your clothes. The number one thing that helps is biker shorts or long tights if it is cold. They are form fitting so prevent rubbing. I like more spandex than cotton. Afterwards for the any other spots(anywhere elastic was touching my body) I soak in a tub with 3 Aveeno oatmeal packets for at least 30 min. to an hour. You'll know I'm a mom since I tried this one: Baby rash ointment clears it up super fast.

Two reasons: dis-similar materials and it is an insulator.\n\nHere's how: When you drag a plastic comb through your hair, or rub a ballon against your hair or take a nylon coat off while wearing a polyester sweater, you are rubbing two different materials together.\n\nOne material has a slightly greater affinity for electrons and picks up some from the surface of the other material.  So one item ends up being negatively charged and the other ends up being positively charged.  This enables you to stick the charged ballon to the ceiling, but it also gives you a static spark when you touch something grounded like a light switch.\n\nJust like rubbing your feet (while wearing shoes) on the carpet to zap another kid back in school.  You can build up 1,000-2,000 volts of static electricity (at a very, very low amperage!).\n\nIf the material were a conductor, the charge would be carried away.  So it does not happen with metals.\n\nIt only happens on dry days because humid air bleeds off the charge.  So we mostly notice the effect inside during winter when our heating systems create dry indoor air.\n\nThere are anti-static sprays sold for computer users for carpets and clothes that make them a little bit conductive.  "Anti-cling" sheets to add to the clothes dryer do the same thing.

I use static guard in a spray can...you can also keep a dryer sheet such as bounce or downey and rub it on your hand to prevent static electricity...especially at the gas pump

Make sure you don't drench your self in it. Then it gets on paper, items, clothes etc.

Dryer sheets really help to reduce static electricity oin your clothes.\nthis sounds silly, but a flat-headed thumb tack through the inside of your shoe facing down so that the tip points down when you're standing up helps with build up when you walk.\nGetting your car properly grounded helps with getting shocked coming out of your car (that's most popular with me)

to keep dust off things like clothes from the dry cleaner etc

After much wear & tear from the washing machine & repeated wearings, the fibers will break off. Some fabrics' fibers break more easily than others.\n\nThe science behind it is that static electricity builds up in the dryer as it tumbles the clothes around. This static helps pull the fibers away from the clothes & hopefully into the lint filter. If it gathers in the actual drier then I would check the lint filter. That is a possible fire hazard.

Those odors can be tricky.  I workout 6 days a week, so I have to stay on top of my workout-gear laundry.  It can be a challenge!\n\nHere are a couple of ideas that you might not have tried yet.\n\n - Try using plain distilled white vinegar when you wash the gear, even as a pre-soak.  It will help break up the sweat and odors. \n\n(Test a spot on your gear first, to be sure that the fabric will be okay.)\n\n - Lemon Juice is also recommended.  In my experience, it works well if you soak the clothes in lemon juice+water first. (An hour is good, overnight is better.) then wash. It may have more of a bleaching effect than the Vinegar - so try it with socks first.\n\n - If possible, line dry items. Sunshine is a great help discouraging nasty odors.  If you are drying gear in the dryer, make sure that items are completely dry.\n\n - Specialty cleaners - there are new detergents on the market that are specially designed for workout gear.  Win Detergent is one option (http://www.windetergent.com) and Approach (which was recommended by another responder.)\n\nIn general, I have found that keeping the laundry area clean, and free from dust also helps keep odors at bay. (Dust bunnys love my clothes dryer!)  I have some Febreeze-like odor spray handy, and I make sure that the washer and dryer are not "passing along" any bad odors.\n\n (I give the lint trap a quick spray when I clean it out. )  \n\nGood luck with your training!

Probably because some of the air particles become trapped in your clothes, so they aren't completely released in the air to disperse.

Try Static Guard or rubbing the seats and stuff down with a dryer sheet.
