Just think about how many used condoms there must be somewhere in the world. All the condoms you’ve ever used. And your grandparents. And theirs. Surely they could be made out of some of those plant-based plastics that are currently being developed?
And don’t get me started about disposable nappies.
We were cloth diapers and cloth wipes people. We had a bag to carry the dry wipes and a leak proof box with soapy water to wet the wipes before use. The cloth diapers were lined with a special paper filter that could be peeled from the diaper with the solids and thrown safely in the toiled. The wet and dirty diapers were rolled and kept in a thick, waterproof, cotton bag.
It took planning but we went the full lenght. And even refused to supply discardables for the daycare. We instead showed them how the diapers we used were as easy, if not more, to handle than the discardables.
