I bought a piece of 1.5 inch stiff foam to try to fix a sag in a bed. It didn't work but having that thick piece of solid foam around has been a life saver.

Need something flat to put a laptop on? Throw it on the foam. Going to be doing something that requires you to be on your knees for a while? Get the foam!

It went from stupid purchase to something I'd gladly replace if it broke.

A reusable floss tool. I was trying to cut down on waste by ditching those single-use floss picks. It's just a forked piece of plastic that you thread with standard floss. I bought it 5 years ago and it's still going strong!

Which brand do you use? Didn't even know this was a thing but it sounds so useful

Ooh awesome, will have to look into this! I use a waterpik already but it isn't a 100% replacement for string flossing so this could be a good zerowaste alternative!

It still involves using floss. Just gets you to use less of it.

Exactly, just with less plastic waste than normal individually rolled floss containers or the disposable plastic dino flossers 🦷
