About this deal

the 100% bamboo toilet paper was both stronger and softer than the 100% recycled toilet paper, but they were pretty close.

They promise that their toilet papers are “good for the world”, “good for people”, and “good for your bum”, and they definitely deliver on this promise. While their 100% Bamboo TP is designed to be premium toilet paper, meaning it’s likely to have the price tag to match, it’s also not the most expensive. We’ve chosen their 100% recycled toilet paper over their bamboo toilet paper because the recycled option: Who Gives A Crap’s toilet papers blow any public washroom toilet paper we’ve used out of the water with their quality. They are both much stronger and softer than any public washroom toilet paper we’ve ever tried (and we’ve tried a lot). After having done a bunch more reading, I now know that not using virgin tree pulp is one of the most important qualities of the toilet paper. Definitely, much more than the softness (or even the plastic-free bit).Currently, they offer wholesale in Australia, the UK, and the USA so you may be able to find it in stores in those countries. the cost. It’s more expensive than the 100% recycled toilet paper and it definitely has a premium cost, especially if you’re buying from Canada.

based on the NRDC’s buyer’s guide for sustainable toilet papers, Who Gives A Crap’s bamboo toilet paper could be a lot more environmentally friendly. The highest score/grade a bamboo toilet paper product can receive is a 500/B+, where Who Gives A Crap 100% Premium Bamboo Toilet Paper has only received a score/grade of 200/D. Cheeky Panda told us they had submitted samples of their paper to a testing body to determine if PFAs are present. Naked Sprout said their factory doesn’t use any PFAs and that they are confident they’re not used anywhere in the supply chain but they have arranged for independent testing of their products to certify this. In the case of Who Gives A Crap’s 100% recycled and 100% bamboo toilet papers, their 100% recycled TP is much more environmentally friendly than their bamboo TP. If you want to go full on zero waste there are some options for that, such as family cloth and a bidet, but we’re not ready for that switch yet, and that’s where Who Gives A Crap toilet paper comes in. Why is toilet paper bad for the environment? I was able to try out their premium 100% bamboo toilet paper, their 100% recycled toilet paper, and even their forest friendly tissues.

Next, we tried Cascades Pro Perform, which is also 2-ply and also wasn’t a success. It was better than the Sustainable Earth by Staples and I definitely could have kept using it, but we hadn’t yet reached a consensus as a household.

Before we start talking about Who Gives A Crap, we should probably answer the following question first: I was brought up in a Sri Lankan family where the culture was to wash ourselves after opening our bowels. It was thought bad parenting to let a child have a dirty bottom as paper does not clean children or adults properly and leaves one with an 'itchy bottom' ... Using a basin is a small amount of water and there is nothing to fear and lots to learn from washing your own bottom." So, in a market dominated by virgin wood fibre, we think bamboo is a good ethical option. There are risks, however, as discussed above, so it’s important to hold bamboo toilet paper companies to account for their sourcing and production.And, they’re pretty freaking strong. I have blown some powerful sneezes into them without any tears occurring. Not to mention they’re relatively soft on the nose!

Be aware of any with the FSC Mix label because this means that a mixture of virgin and recycled fibres was used to make the toilet paper, reducing its eco credentials.Looking at the above numbers (including the ply #), Who Gives A Crap’s cost is clearly on par with the popular and premium toilet papers out there today. Tissue paper products account for about 8% of the paper industry, although this is increasing as rising disposable incomes and improving living standards, particularly in the Asia Pacific region, are driving growth in toilet paper use.
