Are vibration dampeners still good after getting washed?

[Thomas59]

I feel stupid that I left my two Babolat Custom Vibration Dampeners in my sweatpants pockets and as a result, they went through 2 cycles of washing and drying. Will the dampeners still be good after going through all that? I would love to test the dampeners out, but it is currently winter in New England and the snow packs are 2 feet tall on the courts.

it shouldnt affect it's performance. if it still have it's shape pre wash/ dried, then it's good to go

Alright thanks haha. I was getting a little paranoid that I might have screwed myself of 15 dollars. They look fine so everything will probably be okay.

Are they brittle and cracking? If not you should be fine.

you should not handle those dampeners now unless you have a hazmat suit on.

I wondered about that, too. Two packages plus overnight shipping, and a bad exchange rate?
