Now imagine that you've been through pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. The baby is "out of the woods," and you and your now-toddler no longer need the items. Your friends aren't pregnant right now, and a birth isn't on the horizon... what to do with all that stuff?


Aside from selling, gifting, or donating, it would be worth considering simply using the products for other purposes.
Especially if you want more children and don't want to give the items away yet. Instead of storing them in the basement, you can continue to use them – just in a different way.

However, please remember that some of these are medical and/or hygiene products. Always observe the safety instructions for the products! The following does not present the original intended use, but rather play ideas or other repurposed suggestions. If you are unsure or if the product already shows defects or has an expired best-before date, do not use it and rather dispose of it!

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

Have you got any washable nursing pads left over? After breastfeeding, ELANEE nursing pads can easily 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!
