8,006	daddit	Oph. That’s brilliant. Would have helped a lot while living in Scotland. Though it was so cold and wet there my kid was in a puddle suit 90% of the time haha
8,007	daddit	far too much work imo. i just send my son down the slide first to mop up all the water with his trousers before me.
8,008	daddit	Does someone have a convex squeegee they'd recommend? Every slide by us is curved.
8,009	daddit	That's an amazing idea! I always have a towel, but a squeegee is way better!
8,010	daddit	No sir, I'd rather not carry yet another thing, so I'll just use my sleeve and let my arm be cold for 30 minutes.
8,011	daddit	Genius.... I would have thought about bringing towels and making a mess in the car before thinking of a squeegee.
8,012	daddit	Wow. This is a great tip! Thanks.
8,013	daddit	Don't forget your towel!
8,014	daddit	Side-tip: pack a tennis ball in the stroller. You can roll it down slides, up slides, up slides then down slides, and play various forms of catch. It's also a decent friend-maker, you should see the looks of jealousy other kids get.
8,015	daddit	gotta fall back to Hitchiker's Guide, and say that a towel is better
8,016	daddit	Pack wax paper, too, and give it to a few different kids to use. The wax will start to fill in any small imperfections in the slide and make it slippery as fuck! That means fast. We used to do this at school when a new plastic slide/jungle gym was installed. You can slide on the wax paper or rub it by hand.
8,017	daddit	Wow. This is a great tip! Thanks.
8,018	daddit	I just live in a humid climate. There is dew on the slides every morning, it seems. This is a good idea
8,019	daddit	It’s funny how simple this is yet I’ve never heard of a parent doing it. We bring a towel with us if it’s rained recently but I’ve seen dads do the classic “I’ll go first” Gonna invest in one of these bad boys
8,020	daddit	My god I have been carrying towels for this like a peasant. Genius OP!
8,021	daddit	How hot is that slide in the sun though? I haven’t seen one in years but I remember them being slightly warmer than the surface of the sun.
8,022	daddit	What a pro-dad move! Definitely adding this to my arsenal. Usually had to bust out the ol’ reliable car towel in these situations
8,023	daddit	Legendary
8,024	daddit	In this house, we get our pants wet from the slide like REAL kids /s
8,025	daddit	We used to bring towels but this... this is very smart.
8,026	daddit	pro tip #1a: initiate squeegeeing slide from the top. ... I'm so tired
8,027	daddit	For more rounded slides maybe bring a microfiber towel! Probably has other uses with messy kids but also handles swing seats or other contoured surfaces.

8,032	daddit	I've been using a towel for 6 years. I've been doing it wrong for six years. :/
8,033	daddit	Wow this is… very specific advice
8,034	daddit	This is premium Daddit advice.
8,035	daddit	I made the mistake(ish) of grabbing a micro fiber from my trunk to wipe down a wet slide. I forgot I had previously used it for a finish coat while detailing my car. I may as well have buttered the slide. Mini me had fun that day.
8,036	daddit	To be fair I live in the UK and only needed to wipe slides once. Luckily had some paper towels with me lol. Usually it's some random kids that go right in and wipe it with their clothes LMAO.
8,037	daddit	If it’s packed permanently you won’t be able to remove it
8,038	daddit	Also helps when the kid leaves a skid mark as long as the Mississippi down the slide.
8,039	daddit	Hail the king.
8,040	daddit	This guy dads hard
8,041	daddit	What? Way to spoil the fun when going down the slide becomes a rocket chute! Only downside is you need to catch'em at the end.
8,042	daddit	Wow. This is a great tip! Thanks.
8,043	daddit	And here I was packing a towel
8,044	daddit	I do old rags, but this is way better. Thanks!

8,061	daddit	I got a wet ass once on a slide when my daughter was 3. She told me that I’d be fine and we weren’t leaving the park. She continues to tell this story every single time I go down a slide for the last several years. I’m over it.
8,062	daddit	Holy shit how have I not considered this
8,063	daddit	Why the hell didn't I think of this??? Would have saved me many wet sleeves. Awesome tip, thanks.
