An Organic Cotton Tissue Dispenser
LastTissue (USA) is an invention designed to replace 3000 single-use paper tissues. The silicone case contains 6 organic cotton handkerchiefs that are easy to retrieve and stash. Then wash and use again.
To use, just pull a tissue from the dispenser, which features a hygienic way to separate clean and used tissues. After blowing your nose, just place it in the top.
Designed to break even on carbon emissions after 72 uses, the thick tight-woven cotton absorbs well so it doesn’t get damp, and the material gets softer with use. Launder in a mesh bag, to stop them getting cost in the machine. You can clean the case in the dishwasher or with hand sanitiser.
How to Safely Blow Your Nose
If you have a cold or bunged up nose, here’s how to do it – advice from the expert to prevent making your ears pop, rupturing blood vessels, or forcing air into your middle ear (not good).
- Place one finger against one nostril and apply pressure.
- Take a breath, then gently blow the other side of your nose, into the tissue.
- Then do the same on the other side.
- Then wash your hands, avoid passing germs onto others.
Why Choose Eco Facial Tissues?
Each year, millions of tree are chopped down daily (mostly in Boreal forests that are home to moose, elk, wolves and grizzly bears), just to make facial tissues that are then wrapped in plastic. Just imagine the effect if everyone switched to recycled paper, bamboo or washable cotton tissues instead?
