Ding, ding! Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the main event — the bathroom bout of the century! Hello Tushy and Who Gives A Crap are stepping into the squared circle, armed with bamboo toilet paper and big commitments to doing good.
In one corner, Hello Tushy brings eco-friendly products with a solid jab of sustainability. In the other, Who Gives A Crap delivers a one-two punch of sustainable bamboo toilet paper and 50% of profits donated.
Both contenders are heavyweights in the eco-bathroom game, so this tale of the tape promises to be a nail biter. But who will claim the title when their bamboo toilet paper goes head to head? Step into the ring to see how Who Gives A Crap matches up with Hello Tushy. Let’s get ready to roll!
What do we need to know about Hello Tushy?
Founded in 2015, Hello Tushy’s team of toilet crusaders are primarily focused on the field of bidets, with a portion of their profits dedicated to building community toilets in India.
Hello Tushy’s 3 ply bamboo toilet paper is free of bleaches, dyes and BPAs — a win for sensitive bums. When it comes to package sizes, the options are limited, with a choice between the modest eight roll pack or a heavyweight 36 roll commitment. For added convenience, Hello Tushy customers choose from one-time orders or subscriptions at flexible 1- to 4-month intervals.
The less great news? In a 2023 NRDC scorecard for toilet paper and facial tissue brands, Hello Tushy took a few punches, scoring a C grade for sustainability. One major knock is that the company’s bamboo toilet paper isn’t FSC certified — a misstep in the eco-friendly corner.
And when it comes to product performance, reviews suggest this contender might not go the distance. Some users found the toilet paper too rough, with a few critics comparing the texture to “sandpaper.” Others noted the sheets shred too easily, particularly when wet.
What’s the deal with Who Gives A Crap?
Who Gives A Crap entered the ring in 2012 with a mission: to help build toilets and improve sanitation to those who need it most. Their strategy? A one-two punch of manufacturing eco-friendly products and donating 50 percent of its profits to non-profits.
Their TP lineup offers two contenders: 100% recycled toilet paper, available in 24 or 48 roll packs, and 3 ply, 100% bamboo toilet paper, in packs of 12, 24 and 48. Soft, strong and super long, their double length rolls are packed with 370 biodegradable sheets, with prices ranging from $25 to $68.
Three convenient packages are available to order – 12, 24, and 48 – with the price ranging from $25 to $68. These rolls are luxurious, soft, and biodegradable. Plus, they are double length, with 370 sheets.
With a solid ‘A’ sustainability rating from the NRDC for their 100% recycled toilet paper, Who Gives A Crap proves to be a serious eco-contender. While they don’t offer smaller pack sizes, their double length rolls and flexible delivery options make them a strong competitor in the matchup with Hello Tushy.
What’s the price per roll at Hello Tushy vs Who Gives A Crap?
For one-time purchases of their largest packages, Hello Tushy’s* 36 roll package steps into the ring against Who Gives A Crap’s box of 48. The result? Hello Tushy checks in at $1.92 per roll, while Who Gives A Crap and their bamboo toilet paper delivers at $1.42 per roll. A decisive victory for Who Gives A Crap, with a 50-cent-per-roll advantage. Those price per roll numbers drop even more when it comes to Who Gives A Crap and its 100 percent recycled toilet paper ($1.29 per roll).
