Simple Switch is an Ethical Alternative to Amazon
Simple Switch has even been described as “Amazon with a heart”.
We all know that there are tons of really great products and companies out there that do great things for the world. The problem is that it takes a lot of time and energy to do the research on fair labor laws, work ethics, and environmental impact of every single item you buy. Who has that kind of time?
I don’t know about you, but even though I want to support local and “vote with my dollars“, I still find myself getting overwhelmed when it comes to making purchases. I end up defaulting to Amazon just because it’s the “only option”.
Not anymore! I still have a few Amazon favorites and still love the variety, but Simple Switch has some pretty great deals that rival Amazon. Personally, I love that you can even buy toilet paper from Simple Switch. You can get 48 rolls of Who Gives a Crap toilet paper for $48.

You can shop by impact on Simple Switch!
You can filter products by the impact that matters most to you. For example, I like to shop by environmental impact for products that support a low waste/ plastic free lifestyle.
My Favorite Simple Switch Products
If you’ve been following me for long then you know that I’m super picky when it comes to purchasing new products. I like high quality items that will last a long time. I’ll gladly spend more money on a good product that will last forever. But I’m also just as likely to skip purchasing something I want just because I don’t need it.
On top of that, I also really like to vote with my dollars by shopping local first, then doing my best to purchase eco-friendly products.
All that being said, even though I’m super weird about what I buy, I do have a few favorite Simple Switch products.
This is the same price as Target! Why not support a really cool online shop like Simple Switch? I personally love mine and have saved so much money by not buying tampons and pads.
Thank You Cards with Seeds- $21
To know me in real life is to know that I hate thank you notes. Not because I wasn’t taught correctly, but because I think they are a huge waste of resources. I immediately throw thank you cards in the recycling and cringe at the thought of people throwing a thank you card from me in the trash. I love that these can be planted and grown into flowers!
How We Roll Bamboo Paper Towels- 6 pack for $17
I’m in the process of cutting out paper towels in our home. We never use them for meals since we love using our cloth napkins. However, as a southerner who loves fatty and fried foods, I keep them around for nasty oil spills. I love the idea of keeping bamboo paper towels in the house.
