You can exfoliate with fine sugar, fine ground coffee (after you’ve used it for your cuppa of course), salt, grains…. oh so many things that can be found in your pantry.

I don’t really use cotton tips but I guess you can roll the corner of any clean used cotton cloth to replace that?

Another way to save is by not using toilet paper at all. Invest in a bidet (google Asian countries toilets) by your current toilet, use the hose to clean yourself and dry with a towel after. Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar cleaner and zero after smell compared to just wiping (for reference, would you just wipe your hands after eating KFC with your hand, or you feel cleaner washing your hand after eating before you go about doing whatever later?)

Hi, I just want to say I’ve had the same problem with non-applicator tampons and have never been able to put one in. However I haven’t had problem at all with the cup as you don’t need to push it up, just make sure it’s in and open.

Hey, dunno, if you got your answer yet. But as for scrubs, take heed of the components which in a number of cases are made of plastic and won’t dissolve in water! e.g.: Acrylates/C10-30. However, if you decide to stick to 0 waste worldview, better use crumbs of oatmeal with some water or something natural in general for exfoliation.
