Strong, lightweight, durable - a great clothesline!

I have used this clothesline all over Europe and South America on multiple trips, and I love it. No clothespins are needed, because you can attach your clothes inside the braid of the rubber. It packs up into almost nothing and weighs almost nothing.

You take one end of the clothesline, wrap it around something, such as a pipe or a bedpost, or even a doorknob, and loop it through itself. You then take the other end of the clothesline, along with a small hook (you have to get one separately), and hook it to itself.

This can hold a lot of weight - I've had two pairs of wet jeans along with 2 pairs of wet shirts, socks, and underwear all on the line at the same time. Sure, it'll sag, but it's no problem.

Don't get any of the clotheslines that have suction cups on the end - what if all you have around is wood and concrete? Then there'll be nothing to suction the cups to. You can't really hang your clothes to dry in a bathtub when you share the bathroom with other people...

The Best Travel Clothesline

I have used this travel clothesline for over twenty years; it is unquestionably the best of the breed. Simple twisted-pair lines (or fabric-covered ones) don't grip heavy/wet clothes sufficiently; lines with suction cups don't attach to anything but very smooth surfaces (and can't be depended on to manage much weight either).

You don't need clips, hooks, or carabiners to attach this line to rings, poles, etc. You can easily attach the first end by simply passing the line through its own loop. You attach the other end (when similarly necessary) by passing the end of the loop through its side, then inserting some straight/rigid object (a pen, a spoon, etc.) to stop the end from pulling back through. Simple.

Did you know that you can pack these with your medical supplies as well? They make ideal tourniquets.

You do need to replace them every dozen years or so, as eventually the latex rubber will decay.

This is the 3rd travel clothesline for me; not because the previous ones broke but because I keep finding clothelines that offer better features. This is the best one so far since it eliminates the need for clothespins, is better at holding wet, heavy clothes and the clothes don't slide. My only complaint is I wish it had suction cups and clips on the ends like my other travel clotheslines so I could hang it in the bath/shower or attach it to poles. My previous clotheslines had those features and I used them alot. To work around this I use a small carabiner on each end. This travel clothesline would be PERFECT if it offered all those features.
