Thanks Box Divvy for the post and finally stocking toilet paper 👏👏👏
No need to go to the shops anymore 🎉
Toilet Paper
The single most requested product by Box Divvy Hubsters and members: loo paper. And if our goal is to keep our members out of supermarkets, then this category is a ‘must-have’.
About A Dog
The toilet paper is produced by a small Sydney-based company called About A Dog. It was born during Covid (most of their business was in hospitality which closed during lockdowns), and it took off. The quality of the paper is second to none in our view, and this is not hyperbole: it’s better than the mainstream brands like Quilton, Kleenex and Sorbent. It’s also a notch about Who Gives A Crap. Of course, when it comes to loo paper, all opinions are subjective – so this week we will send some sample rolls to each participating Hub so you and your members can judge for yourselves. For online reviews, check out their website: 93% is 5-star)
About A Dog has a few other features:
• It’s 100% recycled – and certified by the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council).
• The paper is Ink, Chlorine and BPA free.
• It’s made locally in Milperra, Sydney – but the raw material (pulp) is imported. (Who Gives a Crap is manufactured in China).
• 50% of profits are donated to animal shelters including Sydney Dogs and Cats Home, Maggie’s Rescue, Greyt Greys Victorian Greyhound Rescue and Pets of the Homeless Australia to name just a few. To date, over $46,000 has been donated.
The product itself is a double-length roll with 360 sheets, and available as a box of 24 rolls. It costs $31.65 – which works out to $1.32 per roll.
Below is a price comparison per 100 sheets (using 3 ply 100% recycled paper):
Of all the 3-ply, 100% recycled toilet paper, About A Dog is the cheapest. (You can get cheaper Kleenex paper but not recycled. Sorbent doesn’t use recycled paper at all).
