There are so many products we use in the bathroom that are encased in plastic and they don’t need to be. The bathroom is the easiest place where you can make eco-friendly swaps.

Here is a list of some of my favourites (and they are easy ones too!) plus where to buy them!
Bamboo buds
Buds have many uses but, like a lot of things, they are plastic. The plastic tubes end up everywhere and cause all sorts of problems, especially when it enters the sea. Bamboo buds are eco-friendly and will decompose easily. I put mine in the food waste. When I have some more space and start composting, I will pop them in the compost bin.
Safety Razor
If you’ve read by blogs before, you will know that I’m a huge fan of safety razors! They’re friendly to the environment and they last a very long time. Read my previous blog about them.
Body Soaps and Shaving Bars
Soap bars tend to be sold in mixed paper/plastic wrappers which are difficult to recycle and are no friend to the environment. Swapping to bars is a great choice and are easily found in boxes and even without any packaging. Wooden soap dishes are a great way to reduce your plastic!
Bamboo toothbrush
Think about all the toothbrushes you have used in your life, did you know they are still around? Plastic toothbrushes are terrible to the environment. Bamboo ones are eco-friendly and they only need to be replaced every three months. You can also buy them for children too.
Dental floss
Dental care is so important and you shouldn’t neglect your gums. Which is why I over the moon when I found these beauties.
If you have any other swaps, let us know đź’š
You forgot about the homemade toilet cleaner you blogged about. That’s good too. You can also buy bamboo hairbrushes and combs.
