A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!
Guidelines:
Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!
Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.
Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.
A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:
Oh my goodness, it's so much better than petroleum jelly (and it won't degrade latex/rubber). Put it anywhere, you can even eat it, it's safe for nursing babies.
Other than nipples, it has thousands of uses. I use it under my nose where my CPAP machine rubs me raw. Oh, and it's a great moustache wax too!
Just try it. I costs a bit more than PJ, but it's like owning the best quality product of it's type. Nobody can buy anything better.
For anyone curious about the ethical discussion folks are having
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lanolin?wprov=sfla1
It seems like lanolin is typically extracted from the shorn wool, so I assume the comments about ethics are with respect to harvesting that wool in the first place, so if you're interested in learning more, that's where you'd want to research. I'm not intending to debate whether it is or isn't ethical (I know next to nothing about the wool industry), I just had no idea how lanolin might be obtained from a sheep, so I looked it up and figured I'd share since it's relevant to some of the conversation here
