🧴 What's the Problem with Bathroom Plastic?

So many bathroom things—like shampoo bottles, toothpaste tubes, and toothbrushes—come wrapped in plastic. Most of that plastic:

• Gets used once, then tossed 🚮

• Can’t be recycled

• Ends up in landfills or oceans, hurting animals 🐢

But guess what? You and your family can switch to plastic-free options that work just as well (and often smell even better!).

TuTu’s Top Bathroom Swaps:

🧼 1. Soap Bars Instead of Bottles

Say goodbye to slippery plastic bottles!
🟢 Soap bars come in paper or no packaging at all
🟢 They last longer and smell amazing
🟢 Some are shaped like animals or stars—so fun!

Try: Lavender, lemon, or oatmeal soap!

🪥 2. Bamboo Toothbrushes

Did you know billions of plastic toothbrushes are thrown away every year? 😱

Swap them for:
🟢 Bamboo toothbrushes (they’re compostable!)
🟢 Kid-sized handles in fun colors
🟢 Bristles just as soft and strong as plastic ones

🧴 3. Shampoo Bars & Conditioner Bars

No bottle needed—just rub the bar on wet hair and scrub!

Bonus: They’re great for travel and smell super fresh 🍓🍊

Did You Know?

A single plastic toothbrush could still be on Earth when you’re a grandparent!
But a bamboo one? It breaks down and goes back to nature. 🌿
