Ha! I was just complaining last night about finding them everywhere. I don’t think she’s taking them out and losing them, but they’re more likely falling out of the little bags she’s constantly losing. But she does miss the bathroom trash can with them a lot. I’m terrified the cat’s going to start eating them.

So glad for Invisalign...

I had them as a teen too. It’s embarrassing enough when you laugh and they go shooting across the room.

OP, they are just tiny rubber bands with nothing gross about them.

Just wait until a bag of them goes through the laundry.

My son used to leave his athletic cup on the kitchen counter. Kids are gross.

The bright side is that at least she used the rubber bands. My kids never did.

This is "gross"?

Bet those baby days were a horror! Or maybe you picked her up used?

If your kid has/had braces and has the rubber bands, does he/she take them off and leave them in random places? So gross. Mine does. She’ll take them out to eat and leave them on the kitchen table. Or on her nightstand. Or, if I’m really lucky, I find them in my carpet while vacuuming.
