Bheestie Bag contains powerful water-absorbing beads that physically bond with the water, drawing the moisture out and holding it inside of them.

So a BHEESTIE Bag is an innovative product that gets the wet out of a cellphone, iPod or other small personal electronic that's been soaked, addressing the ravages of sweat, rain, humidity, damaging corrosion, and moisture-related malfunction.
According to its developers, BHEESTIE is easy to use and it is always thirsty.
The broad strokes are:
1. Turn off the electronic item (if in protective case remove) and place in the silver bag with bead pouch (do not remove beads from clear pouch).
2. Seal bag tight.
3. To remove everyday moisture leave electronic item in bag overnight or until next use. If item has been soaked or submerged immediately remove battery and place in BHEESTIE bag - leaving in for 24 - 72 hours.
The company claims that BHEESTIE has done some amazing saves of wet cellphones, iPods etc., but because of the variety of situations and the variety of electronics it is they can't guarantee it to always work.

Do Not remove beads from interior packet
The bead packet is made with a breathable material allowing the beads to adsorb moisture. If you look very carefully you will see the tiny holes in the packet.

If you use headphones there is sweat, humidity, etc. By using BHEESTIE on a regular basis you will be removing that moisture decreasing the chance of corrosion or malfunctioning. Put your item in over night to remove moisture. Some users store their headphones in the bag to keep them from malfunctioning.

BHEESTIE & Co., llc, began when a new Gameboy was dropped in a pond. Due to her lifelong hearing loss, co-founder Karen Wildman was able to transfer her knowledge of drying out hearing aids to save her son's new Gameboy after he dropped it in a pond. She shared her idea with her sister, Lisa Holmes, who, living in Oregon, had her own battles with wet iPods and cell phones. Together they formed BHEESTIE & Co., llc. and created the BHEESTIE Bag.
Karen Wildman completed nursing school in Portland, OR and currently lives in Texas with her husband and three children. Lisa Holmes holds a degree in accounting and lives in Portland, OR with her husband and two children.
Both sisters grew up in Oregon and know all about wet electronics. With one of us still in Oregon and the other in Texas, and with active families that use many personal electronics daily, they say they are constantly battling malfunctioning electronics due to moistur from sweat, rain, spills, and humidity. They got tired of frequently replacing wet cell phones, music players, pagers, gameboys and more.
