What kind of aquarium pump are you speaking of? Do you have photos or a link to it?

Any aquarium pump will do. I bought the smallest pump in the store.

What's a "drying stick"?

A stick with paper towel wrapped around that immediately absorbs most of the wetness. :drinking:

I see alot of pumps on amazon. I wonder how they would work though. The water will spew in the cavity, but then it will just spew back out? Or is that the idea. I was thinking somehow getting it to recirculate or something. So the water doesnt get all over the place.

As for air aq pump, whats the point if theirs no water to clean it? Is that just for drying?

The aquarium pump is just for drying. I usually put abut 6 inches of the nozzle in and let it go for a while then pull out about two inches, let it dry more and finally leave about two inches in for drying further close to the entrance. I find it does pretty well. All it does is blow air.

About how long does it take to fully dry with that?

Depends-If I use the Tampax ahead of time and leave them in an hour usually the pump will dry her the rest of the way in a few hours. If she still fees a bit damp I use my DataVac Electric Duster using the long skinny nozzle to dry her the rest of the way in short order. Usually the pump is sufficient but if I want to hasten things I use the "Duster".

I have one of those airvac things. i wonder how long that would take to dry it, those things blow some series air.

It's a strong volume, no doubt abut it. I don't put the long nozzle inside her much-at best just an inch or so due to it's output but it dries her up in short order.
