Two things you use every day, morning and night: a bamboo sonic electric toothbrush and a set of reusable bamboo cotton face pads. The Everyday Essentials Set puts them in one order, so both routines get a better tool at the same time.

If you're working toward a zero-waste bathroom, these are two of the easiest swaps to make. You keep the handle and change a small brush head every few months, and you wash your face pads instead of throwing out a cotton round every time you use one.

What's in the set

Bamboo Sonic Electric Toothbrush

• Rechargeable sonic toothbrush handle
• 2 bamboo brush heads with soft castor-seed-oil bristles

The toothbrush

Sonic brushing does most of the work for you. The handle vibrates at a high frequency, so you just guide it slowly along your teeth and gumline instead of scrubbing. Most people find it gentler than a manual brush, and your teeth are left with that smooth, just-back-from-the-dentist feeling.

• 5 cleaning modes
• Built-in 4x30 second brushing timer
• Wireless charging dock
• IPX7 waterproof
• 1-year handle warranty

A quick note on materials, because we'd rather you hear it from us. The handle isn't bamboo. It's a durable ABS body with a bamboo-inspired wrap, since bamboo can't be reliably sealed around a battery and motor in a wet bathroom. The bamboo is in the part you replace, the brush heads. Every wrap looks a little different, and there are small inverted textured bumps on the back so it sits comfortable in the hand, even in a wet hand.

When the 2 heads in the box are done, our replacement brush heads come in a 4-pack, are made in Montreal and fit the same handle.

The face pads

These are soft, smooth and a good size, big enough to cover most of your palm, so they're easy to hold while you take off makeup or put on toner. Mascara and eyeliner wash out easily, and there are no loose fibres catching in your lashes like you get with cheap cotton rounds.

When you're done, drop them in the mesh laundry bag and put it in the machine with your regular wash. The bamboo case keeps clean pads tidy on the counter between washes.

Why they go together

Both live by the sink, both get used every day, and both replace something most people throw out without a second thought. It also makes a good gift, since it's something people use twice a day but rarely buy for themselves.
