Over the years I’ve been replacing my items with reusable or plastic free options where I can as I run out of things. I am a regular q-tip user. I pretty much only use them in my ears after a shower. I know you’re not supposed to do that - but you could start a candle factory with what comes out of my ears. I usually opt for the q-tips that have a paper stick rather than a plastic, but they still come wrapped in plastic. I’ve just run out of q-tips and I’m wondering if there’s another alternative. I’ve always wondered if the Last Swab is actually worth it or if it’s just a product of green washing. If I buy it, will I end up with an item that will last and serve me my entire life, or will I be left with another piece of consumerist trash. Also open to suggestions of other eco-friendly ear-cleaning solutions. Xoxo submitted by /u/primary-greeen [link] [comments]
