Thank you for sharing the floss packages you use, love them! I usually use the ones with the round ens (where the toothpick is hidden), but could no longer find them in my regular supermarket, a lot of items seem to be missing because of Covid19.

Hm would love to see the ones you use, never noticed a type with round end. Even if I can't buy online would love to see a photo! I found the floss packets I actually purchased here. I don't love that these sorta "shred" when used, but they apparently now exist as come in natural silk (who knows if that's better). I used to LOVE the Glide brand packets but alas they've been out of production for a long time.... in googling this tonight I found that they do however make threader packets though so I'll either try those or the natural silk ones next!

Good call on the floss - I keep floss packets in my Calvi with my "daily kit" If you're not attached to the picks, these are so much smaller (like a very thin bandaid) and no risk of puncturing the inside of the Calvi with the pointy pick ends - this isn't exactly the one I bought recently but it's the same idea https://www.amazon.com/Floss-Singles-Dispenser-Light-Green/dp/B0074IQ5HI

Love the idea of tiny tampons! I'm one of those people who's always used applicators, but maybe I'll learn to use the teensy ones! At least Playtex recently came out with "click" style ones where the applicator is half the size... still too big for a Calvi though.

Thanks for letting us know about the single pak dental floss. I never like the dental picks as it is hard to use. These single paks are easier to store.

Agreed - when I first stumbled upon them I was so excited! I could never use the flosspicks either. I'm pretty stoked to find those Glide threaders tonight (which I'd forgotten to link and just edited my post) :)

Found one in one of my purses. You can see a toothpick in the middle, to use it you just need to break the round part off. They fit Bastia as well. If you google “plackers” I’m sure you can find this type.

I kinda went a bit nuts just before the h.com shut down because of the pandemic. :amazed: I saw a bunch of colors I didn’t already have and decided why not since I wouldn’t be doing any shopping for the next few months. I didn’t see any ostrich or box leather Calvis listed so I’ll still be hunting for examples of those leathers when things open back up. The rose jaipur I ended up putting with the reds. It just didn’t seem to belong with the pinks.View attachment 4700921 View attachment 4700922 View attachment 4700923 View attachment 4700924 View attachment 4700925 View attachment 4700926 View attachment 4700927 View attachment 4700929

This collection makes me so happy. Your Bleu de Malte makes me swoon. I have a Victoria in that color and it will forever be the navy blue to beat. Nothing tops it.

Oh. My. Gosh. This is AMAZEBALLS. Sometimes something is so ridiculously fabulous that a made up word like "amazeballs" is really the best fit. LOVE THESE! Thank you for sharing.

I saw that you keep them out so you can enjoy looking at them - what a lovely idea! I started using my was-in-a-drawer Bastia for something totally silly (keeping earplugs in my nightstand - had ear surgery so for me they have to stay super clean and I can't just drop em in there). Would love to find some new ways to use my extra Calvis too - gives me such pleasure :smile:

So... on that note, what sorts of things do you use your Calvis for? I'm not dumb :smile: I know you obviously don't use many at once, but maybe you have some creative ideas? I have one in my bag with my daily "kit" but would love to find ways to use my other ones, even if just around the house!

Saw this, it's stunning right!?[/QUOTE]
Another use for Calvis - you can put your jewelry in them. I put my rings in them so I don’t lose them in my bag if I want to take off my rings when I am out and about.
