LastObject
There are many swabs out on the market but LastSwab is our favorite! It feels as if you're using a standard swab but its reusable. No more micro-waste with this design. Easy to clean using soap and the carrying case is durable. The LastRound is also one of our favorites. The rounds are durable, easy to hand-wash after use and they feel good against your skin. We appreciate this company for their overall approach and sustainable packaging.

Buying Eco-friendly vs Using What We Have
"If purchasing a new water bottle that you’re actually excited about is what gets you to stick with a new habit, then do that! If you get excited about repurposing old jars and things around the house, then do that! Maybe a lot of us will wind up doing both.
With a dilemma like this, it comes down to being intentional and actually thinking about our actions. Many companies out there would like us to believe we need to buy their products in order to live an eco friendly life. Sometimes, they may be right. But only if it is right for us.
We, as individuals, only know what works best for us. So trust your gut, make mistakes, and figure out what works best for you."
