Who Gives A Crap: toilet paper but make it cute!

August 17, 2022 Leave a Comment

FacebookPinEmailTweet

Sponsored by Who Gives A Crap

I’ve been intrigued by Who Gives A Crap and their recycled and bamboo, do-good toilet paper for some time, and the pandemic loo roll shortages definitely brought the brand, and toilet paper manufacturing in general, into the spotlight! So, I gave it a go!

The 48-roll box is a LOT of toilet paper!

While I love the fact it’s made from recycled fibres, wrapped without plastic and half the company’s profits go to non-profit organisations, you won’t be surprised to hear the pretty packaging got me too! Of course it did!

(Read on for a juicy discount if you want to try it too! Or make the switch here and use the code THEINTERIORSADDICT for $10 off your first order)

Who Gives A Crap have a bold mission: to ensure everyone in the world has access to clean water and a toilet within our lifetime (they do this by donating half their profits to non-profits in this space — $10.8 million AUD to date).

As a mum I was really saddened to discover that around 260,000 children under five die every year from diarrhoeal diseases caused by poor water and sanitation. Thatโ€™s roughly 700 children per day, or one child every two minutes. And that’s not okay. The good news is that Who Gives A Crap partners with non-profit organisations who specialise in addressing issues related to water, sanitation and hygiene in places that need it the most.

That brings a little perspective to those of us perhaps asking questions like ‘is recycled toilet paper going to be soft enough for my bum?’ or ‘can I afford to pay a little more than the supermarket home brand’?

The premium bamboo version goes so well in my main bathroom!

I was was also horrified to find, during my research for this piece, that every day, over one million trees are cut down to make traditional toilet paper, most of which is made from virgin tree fibres, causing deforestation, damaging habitats and consuming heaps of energy and water. Not to mention, 2 billion people in the world don’t have access to a toilet.

Doing our bit for the environment has never been more important and I just love it when we get to do that through little everyday actions and swaps, around things we are already using (and I’m guessing we’re all lucky enough to be using toilet paper in Australia!).

Itโ€™s also super convenient in that it comes direct to your doorstep (via carbon neutral delivery, naturally!) so youโ€™ll never be caught short again! Besides, that bulk pack of rolls under your arm is always a pain when you brave the supermarket without a trolley, only to realise you actually need quite a few things!. Set up a subscription and itโ€™s just set and forget. One less thing to worry about or remember in our ever-busy, juggling lives.

Bonus entertainment for your kids (thank goodness they’re wrapped in paper for hygiene!)

You’d imagine all this goodness would make it expensive but Who Gives A Crap’s bestseller, 48 rolls of Recycled Toilet Paper, is a very affordable $60. And they’re super long rolls too. They say their price per sheet in this pack is 29 cents compared to the average price per sheet of 46 cents. Frankly, what are you waiting for?!

But this toilet paper is seriously fun too! Fab coloured and patterned biodegradable paper wrappers (to keep things hygienic), that cheeky brand name and entertaining messaging. My kids have become obsessed with building with the rolls because they’re so damn appealing!

Stock up with the best selling 48 super long rolls of recycled toilet paper box

They do also offer a premium bamboo version for an extra 6 bucks per box, and I’m vibing the monochrome and gold packaging of those babies in our family bathroom!

Rounding out the range, there’s surprisingly nice-looking tissue boxes (my friends laugh at me for not having tissues because the boxes are usually so ugly!) and paper towels which help reduce deforestation, plus dream cloths which are a reusable and compostable alternative to paper towels.

The paper towel comes in a box of 6 rolls
A pretty little tissue box I could happily leave out!

My genuine and heartfelt feeling about Who Gives A Crap (who are B Corp certified for the highest standards of social and environmental impact) is that this is an easy, affordable and convenient everyday swap to make in your home. It’s better for the environment, your money goes to good causes around the world to provide access to the things we take for granted, and it’s just a bonus that it looks cute too. If everyone committed to more of these achievable little swaps rather than feeling powerless to create real change on their own, the collective impact could be amazing.

And does it feel like sandpaper on your tushie? No! It feels just like regular toilet paper!

There’s even toilet time reading material provided! Ha!

Save $10 on your first order!

Readers can get $10 off their first Who Gives A Crap order over $47 using the code THEINTERIORSADDICT.

Make the switch to Who Gives a Crap today!

Never one to shy away from the hard questions, I know there was some kickback when Who Gives A Crap changed from manufacturing in Australia to manufacturing (responsibly) in China last year and you can read a lot more about that decision, which was not made lightly, here. As always, I do my research before working with any brand and while of course I’d rather see this made in Australia, I think the good it does outweighs this one factor.

The renovation of this 80s beach shack @camillo_ho The renovation of this 80s beach shack @camillo_house is a work of art and while almost every surface was updated, the decision to keep the original slate floor was genius if you ask us. 

Owner @clarehillier__ says: "With its purple, pink, red and brown tones, the slate was the starting point for our interior palette."

Come and check out the before and afters via link in bio now and read the reno story. It's a real beauty.

And you can book it for your next holiday too!

A long recovery road ahead but making progress in how much I can move my arm and although I drag myself through some days non-stop yawning, others I can go for a little walk or out for lunch before collapsing on the couch! I can now tie my own hair back and put on a real bra which is very exciting ๐Ÿคฃ Having my bestie here to help us with the boys, drive me places and just be brilliant positive company is the best thing I could have asked for not to mention the many Dinner Ladies vouchers from friends!

I definitely feel like a statistic now but hoping I definitely feel like a statistic now but hoping to raise some awareness off the back of my misfortune (and also very lucky escape).

@newsouthwaleshealth have just put out this warning about a rise in serious bacterial infections. iGAS (invasive group A streptococcus) is what caused my necrotising fasciitis and sepsis.

Apparently there's similar happening in VIC too.

It's extremely rare but very serious nonetheless so please have a read and be aware of symptoms. I've linked to the article from a button via my link in bio.

Promise this is the last wretched hospital photo I Promise this is the last wretched hospital photo I'll post and I hope to be home and with my lippie back on by Monday. You know it's serious when I'm lipstick free, right?!

This was about a week ago in intensive care. And although my arm is still bloody sore I'm now on a normal ward and no longer attached to any drips, drains or a catheter. I've come a long way.

This has been the most physical and mental challenge of my life but I'm through the worst. I kept my arm. The doctors saved my life.

I cannot say it enough times. If you're worried about your health, don't hang around. Things can change so quickly. 

A huge thanks to my amazing husband @damianfrancis We've had the hardest year yet and our marriage has never been stronger, even if my rings did get cut off my finger in hospital ๐Ÿ˜œ

As great of a job as he is doing at home with the kids, I cannot wait to get home now. Countdown is on to a new year and a fresh start.

And I can't say enough just how overwhelmingly grateful I am to all the medical professionals involved in my care, from the @healthdirectaus nurse who sent me to Emergency to the exceptional surgeons, doctors, nurses and support staff.

Happy New Year, everyone. Remember you never know what's around the corner and this is not a dress rehearsal!

And huge thank you for all your kindness here. Has been amazing while stuck in bed.

Xxx

For those who missed it, I was unlucky enough to get necrotising fasciitis. You'll have to Google it.
The unluckiest girl or the luckiest? Day 6 in int The unluckiest girl or the luckiest?

Day 6 in intensive care after suddenly coming down with a very serious necrotising fasciitis in my elbow on Sunday. Four operations later (with more to come) I'm out of the woods, alive and have my arm. But I won't be going home until after Christmas. Also picked up a bonus bit of pneumonia to keep things interesting.

I won't lie. This has been super super hard but I feel extremely lucky nonetheless. Have come across some exceptional surgeons, anaesthetists, doctors and nurses who have been incredibly kind at my most vulnerable as well as great at their jobs. I'm really grateful. Huge thank you to my amazing husband who is holding down the fort with the help and cooking of our wonderful friends. And to friends who check in, send love, flowers, snacks and sushi, I will never forget it.

Of course I will be sad tomorrow but my boys can visit and we will have another Christmas next month.

I'll leave you with this. Never ever ignore those health niggles. @healthdirectaus is always a great starting point.

Wishing you all a merry Christmas and will enjoy everyone else's celebrations on here with only a hint of bitterness ๐Ÿ˜‰

PS. Does this win the most unflattering photo of me ever published? I think so! No lippy for a WEEK.
