Anyone use car coasters that soak up the condensation? Especially the clay ones that are suppose to work so well? Here in the PNW I am getting tired of having crumpled up balls of napkins all over the front seat and water spots all over my pants and shirt. Cut a piece of cork to fit the cupholder and while it fit great there was no absorption. Thoughts??

I've got one and no problems. I have one at my desk at work as well thats a 2x2 square. Been using it for darn near 5+ years with no problem.
My parents got my wife and I each one made specifically for carholders. Her's says "Hers" mine says "His".
I'd snag a couple. Work good no drawbacks."....not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted." William Bruce Cameron, Informal Sociology: A Casual Introduction to Sociological Thinking (1963) -

I'm sure there might be cheaper but these the buyers hit right on your problem with napkins

We have some. Every once in a while it helps to put them in the oven to dry them out. The ones we have stop absorbing moisture after awhile and that restores them so to speak.Main-Carver TFM35(2),Carver C11 ,Carver SD/A 360 CD,Carver TX11 ,Grace Digital Tuner, Pioneer PL707 TT,Polk SDA1C

Heck, I didn't even know car coasters existed. Though at 10 bucks seems steep for a round piece of something that costs probably under a buck to make.HT SYSTEM-

Didnt even look at that. My mom bought it as a stocking stuffer for me, so I am guessing it was like 5 bucks at some store somewhere.

Hey tony, this is 'merica....... built on greed and markups...........

I'm not particularly against greed or mark ups....within reason. Unfortunately "reason" has become extinct.
So do any of these coasters actually work in keeping your cup holder dry ? Or is this more marketing snake oil ? Next thing ya know you guys will be putting plastic covers on your auto seats like Grandma had on her couches.HT SYSTEM-

It works, I drink cold Diet MD cans in my car daily, it sweats bad, no moisture in my cup holder."....not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted." William Bruce Cameron, Informal Sociology: A Casual Introduction to Sociological Thinking (1963) -

I look like one too :biggrin:.....
I've had enough it no longer causes any sort of effect for me lol......
Started drinking it by the 2 liter straight when I would unload trucks for Walmart. 140 lbs 6'1" throwing trucks for overtime after working a 8 hour shift doing other crap lol.....
Then moved to a call center where I was running 24/7 for 9 hours straight a day.....
Now I sit at a desk, eat Chinese and get fat all day.... while drinking Diet MD :evil::biggrin:"....not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted." William Bruce Cameron, Informal Sociology: A Casual Introduction to Sociological Thinking (1963)
