‘Disposables’ isn’t a perfect term, but essentially I refer to things such as underwear, toilet paper, tissues, and other such things that tend to have a lifespan of either one use, or one person.

I am fortunate enough to have been insulated by the possession of many things from youth, but as the years go by things begin wearing out or needing replacement, and eventually that safety net will fade, so I would like to ask from the zerowaste community, what is your approach to common things that are typically used to short lifecycles?

    I wash my butt in the shower right after a shit and then just dry up with a towel as I do after any shower. Somehow, I don’t even mind the water being completely cold if it’s just my butt hanging into the shower. I do I eat a lot of fibre though.

      Y’know, I’ve heard about people who do this and I really am fascinated. Do you strip naked every time? Are you standing outside the shower and doing a sort of twerk position to point your butt into the stream or do you properly get into the shower to do this?
