Has anyone tried reusable wraps, instead of plastic cling wrap or tinfoil?

Like the silicone ones, or the beeswax ones? I haven't tried either, but have been considering it. I'm interested to hear other's answers.

I'm not sure what you mean. We have tupperware-esque containers, but I don't think that's what you're talking about.

I tried some of the lined fabric ones for sandwiches but sometimes the bread dried out and the sandwich came apart in the little bag. They did hold up well, but just didn’t like the results so went back to Glass Lock containers which can hold sandwiches as well as leftovers.
I also bought some of the reusable bags for vegetables and fruit at the grocery store. It’s caused some confusion at some stores, but since they have a tag showing their weight, it eventually was accepted. I like that I don’t have to use those little plastic bags in the grocery store.

We use the beeswax ones. I’m still trying to transition so I don’t always remember. They work. Daughter uses them most because she most consistently packs a lunch. I’ll ask her when I see her.

I use containers. I like to have a garbageless lunch.

I have the Beeswraps. I like them. And the bear pattern is so cute, lol. I need to get more; right now we just have two medium wraps and one sandwich wrap.
We also have mesh produce bags.

I just use pyrex glass containers for everything, although if something needs to be microwaved I take the lid off and use wax paper.

I use silicone covers for my leftovers in glass bowls. Is that what you mean?

I rarely cook anymore so I don't have leftovers often, but when I do use them they work fine → no drying out of food or weird smells in the fridge
