  But then what would strippers use for glitter?

  I have to agree. We don’t need it. When I was a kid it didn’t exist.

  I suspect that we’ll be seeing a lot more of products like this:

  They won’t be able to ban glitter completely, just the plastic-based versions. If you read the article, the major concern is micro-plastic (which lead to the recent bans on plastic scrubbing micro-beads)
