We give you the low-down on how to wipe away your plastic footprint
Toilet paper is a necessity no one wants to step out of their comfort zone with. We’ve all been too close for comfort with ourselves when using a new, thinner and rougher toilet roll for the first time.
However, the unnecessary packaging of our beloved triple quilted, super soft toilet paper is another large contributor to plastic waste. So here’s a few plastic-free options toilet rolls we know you can trust to look after you and your bottom.
