Single-Use Ointment and Toothpaste Packets
Instead of packing such large toiletry bags, you can cut up a straw and fill up the pieces with antibiotic ointments, creams or toothpaste for single-use packets. It’s as easy as that. Place the straw over the opening of a tube and carefully squeeze in a tiny amount of the product that is approximately one-quarter of an inch in length.
If the product comes in a tube, use a Cue-tip to fill inside the packet. You’ll notice that a transparent straw would work best for this. Use a lighter to seal the ends; you might want to use pliers while doing so-so you don’t get your fingers burnt. There is nothing fun with getting melted plastic on your skin.
