“A bidet! It was super easy to install. We got some secondhand cloths that we use to pat dry with; we still have toilet paper for as needed and for guests, but our use has plummeted. Like a 4 pack lasts us over a month (family of 3)”

“My period is super light so I’ve gotten away with wearing only period underwear for years. On “heavier” days I do use a cup but mostly I just have a few pairs of underwear for the days and boxers for at night.”

“I’ve had a roll of “unpaper towels” for over 7 years that I use for clean ups and napkins. I also have little square fabric make up wipes I use for skin products that I’ve had for around the same timeline. They all just go in the wash every week and continue being used!”

“Waste of time: Beeswax wraps I just cannot get those to stick properly. I now just use containers or silicone lids. Life-changing for me was not really a purchase, but more the mindset of living zero-waste (or, as zero waste as possible/comfortable). I have waay less junk, less…”

“Didn't discover recently, discovered 12 years ago. Menstrual cups and cloth pads. Used the same ones for over a decade and still working great and have saved sooooo much $$ by not buying disposable products. Also never have to worry about "running out" and being caught off…”

“Reusable cloth pads for my period. They’re expensive when you first buy them, but worth it. If I’m going to swim, I still use tampons but my consumption of this bit of plastic has plummeted since I switched to reusable cloth pads. I’ve had mine for years at this point. Edit:…”

“Life changing is a bit much, but: safety razors. I am being honest here, my main motivation in this specific case was more aesthetics than zero waste. But they are so cheap and easy to use. I just collect the old ones in a small glass container. And every 12 months or so, I…”

“We use wool balls in the dryer instead of fabric softener sheets: No ongoing costs after the initial outlay, soft, static-free clothes, unscented, nothing to throw away. We've had ours for about 2-3 years and they still work great.”

“Compost worms! Can only recommend a worm bin for everyone who doesn't have access to a garden with a composter right by their house.”

“found plastic free floss in a glass bottle and toothpaste tabs too! locally made so even better.”
