I germinate all my seeds in my bra, having cooked way too many on a warming mat or under a light. Now all the beans and sprouts are happy campers.
I take a very small zip lock bag, cut a paper towel so I can fold it 4 times, wet it, put my beans in it, and fold the wet toweling over itself, and stuff it back into the zip lock baggie. Then I place 4 baggies in my bra---two in each cup.
Normally, most germ at about 12 hours without pre-soaking. With pre-soaking, usually those that require a bit of scuffing will also pop in about 12 hours. Only a couple times has it taken 24 hours, but that was when I knew I had tough ss and didn't think to scuff them first.
For those guys who just can't pull off looking good in a bra, this method's still for you. Just use a 3X5" bandaid and put the packets under them, then press it on your skin somewhere in a quiet place--your chest, your thigh.
This method, while sounding laughable, has never let me down.
