Hey, friends! You know I like to keep it 100% honest on this blog... so today I'm breaking down my thoughts and experience using Abeego beeswax wraps. Beeswax wraps are a zero or low waste alternative used in place of plastic wrap. In the photos above, you get an idea of how they're used. They are also designed to be "breathable" for wrapping vegetables, sandwiches, whatever you like, really. I've personally used my three wraps (which are three different sizes) for coving bowls, wrapping sandwiches, avocados, bell peppers, leftovers, basically whatever. They claim to help certain veggies stay fresh longer than plastic wrap, because the wraps are breathable. I have no idea whether or this is true, to be honest. My veggies seem to decay at a pretty similar rate regardless.

They did not send me the items I'm reviewing here, I bought them with my own hard-earned cash back in April 2017 from a shop in Victoria, BC. I’ve had my wraps So, let me start with the pros:

No waste. I haven't bought plastic wrap in months. As someone who's constantly trying to minimize the clutter in the house, and specifically the kitchen of late, having one less wasteful thing to buy is pretty satisfying.
Once you break the wraps in, they're pretty easy to use. They can be a bit stiff at first, but that's ok. After a couple uses they become really easy to form to any shape you need.
They’re easier to use than plastic wrap and ziplocks once you get the hang of it. No awkward ripping the plastic wrap into some alien shape, no awkwardly washing ziplocks inside and out trying not to rip them or tossing them after use. Just grab, wrap and go. It eliminates so many frustrations.
Cute pattern. Yes, this matters to me. I like the pretty pattern on the wraps.

And now for the cons. There's only really one, but to be honest it's pretty annoying:

Washing the wraps.

I mean, washing them is pretty straightforward: scrub gently with cold water. It's just that Abeego's biggest benefit — being flexible and stickable, is also it's annoying factor. With a Tupperware, for example (another zero waste food saver), the shape is hard and fixed. You can hold it in your hand and wash it easily. With Abeego wraps, you have to sort-of rest it on a hard surface, like a countertop to wipe it. No big, right? Except that if counter has any crumbs, coffee grounds or what have you, they will stick to the wrap. So you have to fully clean the counter before cleaning the wrap. #firstworldproblems
