She also revealed she makes the reusable toilet paper herself, from flannels on which she just serges the edges.
It's the same for tissues too.
"These are just like sheets – again I just cut them up, serge the edges and just wash them with our clothes," she said.
"No extra laundry whatsoever."
Channon also doesn't use toothpaste, instead favouring tooth "bits", and ditched disposable sanitary towels for reusable cloth pads.

In the hashtags alongside her video, Channon added "#reusabletoiletpaper", "#familycloth", "#zerowaste", and "#zerowasteliving".
People in the comments section were largely divided about her approach, with one writing: "Nooope no ma’am."
"Is this a joke?" another asked.
