Single Use Stuff that you yourself use over and over

Me, I use vacuform pipettes for replenishing inkjet printer cartridges, one for the same colour so no need to wash.
The ink cartridges themselves have a had several lives now in the printer.
What about use once stuff you've used again and again.

Toilet paper.

Condoms

Medicine spoons.
Plastic bags.
Shower gel bottles. I keep the hangy ones and just refill them from normal unhangy bottles.

I shave maybe once a week, but sometimes I get a couple of months out of single use razors.

not quite single use, but toothbrushes are supposed to be changed every 3 month.
I reckon most are replaced every 3 years if lucky

Any sort of filter for any appliance (change monthly? yeah right...)

Would there even be any bristles left after a few months??

Yeah mine is grand after 3 months as I only use it once a week anyway.

Over the stingy thread there was a guy who used a cloth to wipe his ass, and rinsed it after every use, rather than 'waste' money on toilet paper. :eek:

If your blowing through underwear after each use, you may need to seek medical advice.

Perhaps you have a decent personal hygiene routine.

He never mentioned having any teeth , he might be just gummin' the bristleless tooth brush around his mouth.

Those bags that you get for making toasties. You are only supposed to use them a couple of times but they seem to last forever.

I'd say most people use them a few times but a couple of months is a lot of use. I suppose it depends on how much growth you get. Do they not start to hurt though?

Having worked in hospitality with indian people and had why this happens explained, I will never eat anywhere that is run by, or has indian people working there.

I remember when it was tough back in the 80s, many of us used to use the same bit of tinfoil to wrap our lunches in.
Used to do the same for sandwich bags... just wash them before next time...

Wipes. They're reusable for many things afterwards: hankies, dusters.

Tumble dryer sheets.

After they've been used I use them to dust things like my laptop and tv that attract dust. I read somewhere that they're good for repelling dust on electrostatic surfaces and they seem to work quite well.

I also stuff used dryer sheets in the toes of shoes I won't be wearing for a while, the leftover scentyness keeps them smelling nice instead of musty.
