I think it’s been long enough since the apocalyptic coronavirus-induced supermarket toilet paper shortage of 2020 that we can start talking about the bog roll again.
Those few weeks of not having immediate access to loo roll were dire. Having to inconspicuously sneak out of my gym with a stolen, industrial-sized roll of 2-ply TP concealed in my bag had me feeling like an everyday Bonnie Parker. It was such an unpleasant experience that I vowed to never be caught slipping ever again.
To guarantee that I would never again face the dread fate of anything less than three-ply, I hit the internet, in an Indiana Jones-like quest to find the answers. In my odyssey, I stumbled across How We Roll Co.
How We Roll Co. are an Australian company that create toilet paper that’s 100% sustainable. They’ve teamed up with One Tree Planted and have pledged that for every box of toilet paper, tissues or paper towel sold, One Tree Planted will, well, plant one tree.
The toilet paper trade wipes out 27,000 trees on the daily. Instead of using trees, the brand have opted for bamboo — one of the fastest-growing plants in the world.
I addition to flogging supple bamboo toilet paper that’ll make your sweet caboose feel like it’s been gently kissed by cupid himself, the brand sell a bunch of other sustainable household products. Including compostable and biodegradable bin liners, paper towels and tissues.
Look environment and sustainability aside this may be the most aesthetically satisfying toilet paper on the market. Each roll comes wrapped in a gorgeous cover that looks like it was ganked straight from a late 2010s edition of Frankie magazine. There’s a bunch of super sweet origami tutorials on the How We Roll Co. website, so you can make the most out of your shit sessions.
You can opt for their subscription service and save 10% off each box of bog roll. If you, like me have commitment issues, perhaps just order a box to start and see how you fare.
