Who Gives a Crap Toilet Paper is 100% recycled toilet paper that builds toilets. Every box you buy benefits someone somewhere in need. 50% of the profits go straight into this scheme. They’ve already donated over a million pounds.
Who Gives a Crap toilet paper is a mail order toilet paper company. Now, you could ask what the point is of that, I mean, we can all buy toilet paper from the supermarkets and it’s really nice and cheap. May I present Exhibit A – my favourite Aldi coconut toilet paper vs Who Gives a Crap paper.
So okay, here’s the thing. You get a smaller cardboard roll with Who Gives a Crap vs your supermarket specials, and you also get a lot more pieces of toilet paper on the roll. Look at the difference. To compare by cost, Aldi is £3.09 for nine rolls, Who Gives a Crap is £36 for 48 rolls. So already Aldi looks the more cost-effective. However, break that down a bit. Let’s do the per-sheet calculation.
Aldi works out at 20.2p per 100 sheets. Who Gives a Crap works out at a spectacular 18.8p per 100 sheets. Now, Who Gives a Crap does have slightly smaller sheets than usual, but on saying that, most people don’t use less than three when wiping their bums, right? I’ve found I’ll still use three sheets and it does as required.
So I’ve taken out a subscription. Every 12 weeks I get 48 rolls sent to me. That means we need to make sure our supply lasts us three months. Across two toilets between three of us it could, we’re only a month in right now. On average I’m finding a Who Gives a Crap roll lasts a week in the toilet, rather than two in a week when we had Aldi ones.
Oh and I forgot to mention. Each loo roll is wrapped in paper. There is no plastic present. Just a gigantic box filled with loo roll. They even have a limited edition colouring in paper for sale at the moment.
There’s always a dilemma though, what if you run out? How will you know you’ve run out? Who Gives a Crap have got it covered. There are two emergency rolls at the bottom of your box. Genius!
I should really finish this going into the good stuff Who Gives a Crap does, but I think this page explains it way better than I could.
All I can say is that alongside my Smol and Splosh subscriptions, my Who Gives a Crap toilet paper deliveries are making me feel a whole lot better about things I do in this world, especially when most things going on fill me with despair.
If you’re thinking about taking out a subscription, this is my referral link. You get £5 and I do as well. So it’s a bonus! You can wipe your bum and feel great about everything, it’s a winner.
Whoever thought up that name is a genius right?
Ha, indeed – it’s Australian, they’re so much less uptight about it than us (I suspect a British name wouldn’t have been quite so good!) 🙂
[…] so does life being at home all the time. I still have regular deliveries from Smol, Splosh, Who Gives a Crap and now Earth and […]
