We all know that paper tissues are produced from trees. This means that to make tissues, thousands of trees are being cut down daily across the world. Moreover, disposable tissues create a huge amount of trash, which is harmful to the environment and a key contributor to global warming. By using reusable tissues, you can help protect nature by reducing deforestation.

Using reusable tissues can minimize the effects of constantly using single-use disposable tissues. The world’s first-ever reusable tissue is LastTissue, which has been reviewed by Nerd Know Better and characterized as “the world’s first washable, reusable, and eco-friendly tissue pack/” It is ultra-soft, travel-sized, and easy to use.

LastTissue

LastTissue is the world’s first washable tissue. It is the perfect alternative for disposable tissues. The product is 100% safe, sustainable, and easy to carry. It comes in a carrying pouch made of reusable, dishwasher-safe silicon that carries six tissues. This pouch has an invisible barrier to separate the used and new tissues. The barrier prevents you from spreading germs from used to unused tissues in the pack. Every tissue can be washed up to 460 times, meaning that you can use these tissues for years.

Why choose reusable tissues?       

There are many reasons to choose reusable tissues over disposable ones. Some of the main reasons are given below…

For a better environment

Every year, millions of trees are being cut down worldwide in order to produce single tissue papers. The production of disposable tissues also requires gallons of water. One pack of LastTissue is equal to 2800 single-use tissues along with their plastic packets.

Thus, reusable tissues can help reduce the need for cutting down trees, saving you money and sparing many trees in the long run. LastTissue’s production also requires three times less energy than paper tissues. For a clean, pollution-free environment, you can do your part by changing your habit of always using disposable tissues.

More hygienic

After using a single LastTissue, you can store it inside a compartment within the special pouch. This innovative pouch has a barrier that protects unused tissues from germs, so it is also more hygienic than using handkerchiefs. As LastTissue comes with six different tissues, you can use a new one every time. Finally, the cotton fabric tissues and rubber-like pouch can be disinfected any time: the tissues can go in the washing machine, and the pouch is dishwasher-safe. With LastTissue, you don’t need to worry about hygiene.

Organic materials

Handkerchiefs contain harsh fabrics, and single-use tissues contain fragrances that can cause rashes and allergic reactions to the skin. LastTissue uses organic cotton. It feels soft and plush on your nose, so this product won’t irritate or harm your skin.

The product is also 100% biodegradable, so it won’t create any long-term waste. Its recyclable pouch is made with silicon. Best of all, they use non-coated cardboard and paper for their packaging and shipment.

Cost-effective

LastTissue is a bit more costly than single-use tissues. But when you consider the use of total disposable tissue boxes and packets, the extra cost is minimal. The average consumer uses at least 8 to 10 boxes and many packages of tissues in a single year. As LastTissue lasts for more than a year, the investment is well worth the cost.

It is increasingly evident that in order to reduce the harmful environmental effects of global warming and excessive waste, we have to change our consumption habits and drastically reduce our usage of single-use products. It’s worth supporting products that work for the betterment of the earth. By using LastTissue you’ll not only be doing your part to promote eco-friendly products, you’ll also be contributing to the anti-deforestation movement and ultimately saving yourself some money.

Benefits of LastTissue

People who are concerned about the environment may opt to use handkerchiefs instead of single-use tissues. But handkerchiefs are not hygienic; also, you have to wash them after each use. That is not always possible, so you may have to use a single handkerchief more than one time. One of the most creative ideas and best alternatives to disposable tissues are LastTissue, which allows you to use a new, clean, and fresh tissue every time.

These tissues don’t have any plastic in their packaging, so you don’t need to fear about accidentally tearing them out of their plastic containers, potentially ruining them (if, for example, they fall on the ground). The silicon case will last for many years, and is resistant to the bending and breaking that would otherwise come from daily use.

The cleaning process is as easy as regular clothes washing. Throw them in with your laundry and wash with soap and water. Once they are dry, you can refill the tissues in a clean pouch.

LastTissue comes in six different colors: blue, turquoise, peach, green, red, and black. You can buy different colors for other members of your family, so you can easily recognize another person’s pouch.

Finally, its portability makes it very easy to carry everywhere, in your bag, pouch, or pocket. With hassle-free maintenance, it is very convenient and absolutely safe to use.

How to use LastTissue?

Using LastTissue is not complicated. Pull out a new tissue from the opening outlet under the pouch. After using, push the used one into the top of the pouch. The hygienic barrier will keep the used tissue separate from unused ones.

When all six tissues have been used, just take them out from the pouch. Hand wash or throw them in your washing machine. If you clean them in the washing machine, keep the temperature at 60°. You can wash them with your regular clothes.

Be sure to wash the pouch each time you clean the tissues.

Last verdict

Your consumer habits can go a long way towards helping our vulnerable planet. Replacing disposable tissues with LastTissue may seem like a small gesture, but efforts like these add up to big changes. It’s well worth the cost if you think of it as contribute to the good of the environment, and in the long run it will save you money. Its soft cottony fabric will also pamper your skin and is especially gentle for people with skin sensitivities.
