Are Compressed Towels the Future of Sustainable Hygiene?

Have you tried these?! I totally recommend you do if you haven't.

In an effort to be less wasteful, more eco-friendly, etc. I looked into compressed towels for a quick on-the-go clean up, bathroom wipe or whatever other uses wipes come in handy for.

That's when I ran into these 100% bamboo compressed towels. And I've already reordered twice! I love the way they open. The few times that I've had to use a water bottle to decompress the towelettes, the fold-up design made a difference. These open up from the middle out. Picture 4 prongs standing upright and the water flows from the middle out. I started wetting one and posted it in the picture so you can see what I mean.

I did use another brand first, and I was quite happy with it but wanted a natural material. Remember how I mentioned earlier that the fold-up design makes a difference? These are like squashed down. I feel like I use more water to decompress these than I do with the first brand. Unfortunately I finished that pack of wipes so I don't have one to show you how they open as you wet them.

Don't get me wrong, I would rather use these than the wipes that are individually wrapped. To me, that's more wasteful because of the plastic wrap.

I like to keep on hand both, the compressed towelettes and the individually-wrapped wet wipes. Sometimes I don't have easy access to water and use these individually-wrapped wet wipes and like them very much for those instances. Isn't that such a witty name? Wipe that tush. Haha! Love it.

During my hunt for those wipes, I wanted to find a way to have water on hand whenever necessary and found this handy bottle/holder. I love the idea of this container but I did find that the water either dried up or spilled out. Luckily it was just water so I didn't really have to worry much about everything that got wet but it was very inconvenient when that did happen.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope you enjoyed my reviews and that you found them helpful in one way or the other.
