The trio decided to launch their own toilet paper company that offered more sustainable products and donated 50% of profits to help build toilets and improve sanitation in developing countries.<\/p>\n<p>While I&#8217;d like to pretend that I signed up for a subscription right then and there, toilet paper was my roommate&#8217;s responsibility at the time.<\/p>\n<p>So when the brand recently appeared in my inbox and offered to send over a small supply, I jumped on the opportunity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--\/$--><\/div>\n<div id=\"\"><!--$--><\/p>\n<div end=\"false\" class=\"sc-11rlt5o-4 dblBVm\">\n<p>My requirements for toilet paper have changed dramatically over the years. As a child, I loved the plush, pillow-like toilet paper that puts your pipes through hell and back. When I moved to New York, I got my first taste of old sewer systems and realized that I either needed to give up my plush TP or put a plumber on speed-dial.<\/p>\n<p>This changed the way I looked at toilet paper; I needed something soft-yet-absorbant, so I wouldn&#8217;t waste a quarter of the roll trying to wipe up.<\/p>\n<p>As I started to lean into eco-friendly products in my home, I also began to move towards recycled toilet paper options.<\/p>\n<p>My final requirement: I never wanted to flush my money (literally) by purchasing the most luxurious option I prefered the mid-tier price point\u2014not too cheap, but not too pricey.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--\/$--><\/div>\n<div id=\"\"><!--$--><\/p>\n<div end=\"false\" class=\"sc-11rlt5o-4 dblBVm\">\n<p><strong>Paper Towels<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>About: <\/strong>2-ply, 170 sheets<\/p>\n<p>Similar to the toilet paper, <a href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com\/?id=100028X1555662&amp;xs=1&amp;xcust=AR-HO-{{val}}-BraelynWood|xid:fr1697838081721agj&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fus.whogivesacrap.org%2Fproducts%2Fforest-friendly-paper-towels-double-length-rolls\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"mbg-track-event\" data-track-event-types=\"click\" data-track-type=\"article-link\" data-track-prop-element-id=\"in-body-link\" data-track-prop-label=\"page_type | element_id\" data-track-prop-category=\"Link\" data-track-prop-link=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com\/?id=100028X1555662&amp;xs=1&amp;xcust=AR-HO-{{val}}-BraelynWood|xid:fr1697838081721agj&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fus.whogivesacrap.org%2Fproducts%2Fforest-friendly-paper-towels-double-length-rolls\" rel=\"noopener\">these paper towels<\/a> are made from bamboo combined with bagasse, a sugarcane byproduct that&#8217;s considered waste. Instead of burning or burying the bagasse, the brand gives it a second life in these paper towels.<\/p>\n<p>I was a little thrown by the size of these paper towels. They&#8217;re shorter than your typical paper towel, which allows for more efficient shipping.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the downsized display, I found these paper towels delivered on all of my needs. They picked up spills, removed streaks from my mirrors, and let my countertops sparkling. Even though they were double-length, I did feel they went about as fast as a regular roll of paper towels\u2014perhaps due to the smaller size.<\/p>\n<p>However I didn&#8217;t feel bad about using these paper towels, like I have with ones in the past.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--\/$--><\/div>\n<div id=\"\"><!--$--><\/p>\n<div end=\"false\" class=\"sc-11rlt5o-4 dblBVm\">\n<p>I&#8217;ve only used <a href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=100028X1555662&amp;xs=1&amp;xcust=AR-HO-{{val}}-BraelynWood&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fus.whogivesacrap.org%2F\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"mbg-track-event\" data-track-event-types=\"click\" data-track-type=\"article-link\" data-track-prop-element-id=\"in-body-link\" data-track-prop-label=\"page_type | element_id\" data-track-prop-category=\"Link\" data-track-prop-link=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=100028X1555662&amp;xs=1&amp;xcust=AR-HO-{{val}}-BraelynWood&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fus.whogivesacrap.org%2F\" rel=\"noopener\">Who Gives A Crap products<\/a> for about a month, but I firmly believe they&#8217;re worth it.<\/p>\n<p>Not only do you get a sustainable material that actually feels good on your bum, but the brand&#8217;s active efforts to give back globally make this certified B corp a company that I <em>want <\/em>to support.
