Now imagine you've gone through pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. The baby is "out of the woods," and you and your now-toddler no longer need the supplies. Your friends aren't pregnant at the moment, and there's no birth in sight... what do you do with all that stuff?

Apart from selling, giving away or donating, it would be worth considering upcycling, repurposing or reusable use.

Especially if you're planning on having more children and don't want to give things away yet. Instead of storing them in the basement, you can continue to use them—just in a different way.

Please remember, however, that some of these are medical and/or hygiene products. Always follow the product's safety instructions! The following does not present the original intended purpose, but rather game ideas or other suggestions for other purposes. If you are unsure or the product already has defects or an expired best-before date, do not use it and simply throw it away!

ELANEE products for recycling and upcycling

Breast milk bag

Instead of buying new ziplock bags, ELANEE breast milk storage bags can be used to store spoons and pacifiers on the go. The bags are the perfect size and leak-proof thanks to their double closure.

Nursing pads

Do you have so many disposable and washable nursing pads left over? After breastfeeding, ELANEE nursing pads can be used as an alternative to makeup remover pads or for applying oil to your baby's bottom.

Breast rings

The ELANEE chest rings can be used as temporary edge protectors for furniture corners or doorknobs. They're great for stacking and building towers, as an all-round protective barrier for Matchbox cars, or even as bracelets for dolls. Give them a try and let your child's creativity run wild!

Intimate wash foam and intimate care cream

The ELANEE Intimate Wash Foam can also be used as a regular hand soap, and the ELANEE Intimate Care Cream can also be used as a hand cream thanks to its nourishing oils. It absorbs quickly and provides soothing care for more than just your intimate area.

Pelvic floor training aids

And last but not least: No, the ELANEE pelvic floor training aids are not suitable as Easter decorations or keychains. Just saying!
