How often do you get to feel really good about yourself while sitting on the can?

The Bite:
Good news: recycled toilet paper is NOT made from used toilet paper, and there are softer varieties out there now.
The Benefits: 
  • The recycled TPs of today are not the brown sandpaper you imagine/remember. Really.
  • Most recycled TP products are whitened without chlorine, using no dangerous toxins.
  • If every American household replaced just one 500 sheet roll of virgin fiber TP with a 100% recycled one we could save 423,900 trees.
Personally Speaking: 
Let's be honest: if softness is your absolute #1 priority, most recycled TPs just aren't as plush as the "premium" brands. But we both made the change a few years back, and we have had no tushie complaints.
Wanna Try: 
Look for recycled TPs that are processed chlorine-free (PCF) at your local supermarket or natural foods store.
