Bread stale in beeswax wraps & jars – how to seal?

Tried swapping all my kitchen storage to beeswax wraps and glass jars to cut single use plastic, but the bread goes stale in two days now instead of lasting the week.

Not sure if the seals aren’t tight enough or if the wraps are letting too much air in compared to what I used before. How do you seal the jars when you pair them with wraps?

The wraps do let more air through than plastic once they warm up, so the bread dries out fast even in a jar. I’d check how you’re folding or pressing the wrap around the opening first-any gaps there will kill freshness quicker than the lid itself.

Pressed the wrap tight around the rim each time before adding the lid, but the bread still dried out after two days anyway.
