I never thought Id be excited for a garbage can, but after going through multiple plastic cans and having the lid mechanism fail on cheaper metal cans, I broke down and got a more expensive one from Simple Human. I feel the quality everytime I use the step to toss something. It sounds so dumb, but I’m really blown away after years of crappy cans.

Aside from that, my python water changer for aquariums. That thing has been the goat for years at this point.

    Not a brand, but natural fibers. 100% cotton sweats and t-shirts, cotton/hemp blend shirts, wool sweaters. I can’t deal with plastic against my skin anymore, at least not when I’m trying to be comfortable.

      Same thing for bedding. I have bad night sweats at times and it really has helped using cotton sheets and blankets, at least for the layers closest to my skin. I still sometimes wake up drenched but it is less unbearable than synthetic

      Personally my preference is like 85-95% cotton, but with some kind elastane in them.

      I can’t go back to non stretchy clothes, they just feel so much more limiting, but I’d take 100% cotton over 100% polyester every day of the week.

      Me with canvas pants specifically. Always thought I hated anything but cotton sweats, but they suck to work in. Jeans are either so elastic they don’t feel protective, or they feel protective at the cost of feeling restrictive (The good jeans are ridiculously expensive). Canvas work pants feel sturdy and they don’t limit movement. Plus they wash out super easily
