Store your huggers flat and stacked on the same size hugger piece. Do not stack different sized huggers on top of each other as this can leave imprints that may be difficult to fix. 

Huggers have awesome self-healing powers. They are not indestructible, but if they have dents or bends, usually storing them with something flat and heavy on top of them (like a stack of other huggers!) and/or making sure they are warm will get them behaving again.

If your huggers aren't hugging the bucket as much as you'd like, use your hands to put a little heat on them and push them onto the sides of the bucket. Usually this is all it takes! Adding heat from a space heater can make a big difference as well.
