Toilet Paper

Is this toilet paper 3 ply?

YES!

Each roll is 3 ply! Triple the comfort, triple the quality, and triple the strength. Compare this to your leading toilet paper brands next time you're shopping. A thicker paper means that rolls last longer because you can use less paper each time.

How many sheets are in a roll?

Each roll has 360 sheets! That's almost 2x longer than the industry average!

When shopping for toilet paper it's easy to get caught up in the big adjectives like "mega" and "super", but what matters most is how much paper you're getting with each purchase.

How many square feet are in a box?

There's 39.6 square feet in a single roll roll! If you want to know how many square feet per box:

  • 12 pack: 475.2 sq feet
  • 24 pack: 950.4 sq feet
  • 36 pack: 1,425.6 sq feet

Your rolls seem smaller but have way more sheets than most competitors! How is that possible?

To make rolls appear bigger than they are, major toilet paper brands fluff their rolls with air. This makes the rolls look big and allows these companies to market them as "double the size" even if the number of sheets doesn't actually change. We've made a decision not to play that game.

Instead, we focused on the environmental impact of packing more sheets in a smaller space. Because our rolls are compacted (vs loosely rolled with air in between) they look smaller. Our compact rolls take up less shipping space which reduces packaging and carbon emissions from transportation, while providing one of the highest sheet count per roll in the market!

Each of our rolls is 360 sheets (3.9x3.9in), 3 ply, and made from 100% premium bamboo pulp.

Is your TP septic safe?

YES!

It's passed all septic safety tests. Additionally, because our paper is strong and 3-ply, you don't need a lot to get the job done. That being said, we are aware that not every tank is created equal, so just wipe with care and flush regularly to avoid any of those nasty backups.

Does the paper contain any inks, dyes, or scents?

NOPE! None of those in Betterway bamboo toilet paper.

Why is your bamboo toilet paper white?

It's a decision we made after many conversations with our customers. The results were clear - far more people were willing to try an alternative toilet paper only if it was white. We'd love to be in as many homes as possible promoting sustainability, so we chose white toilet paper to make a bigger impact switching people to tree free TP.

Traditionally, toilet paper is whitened using chlorine (AKA bleach), a strong chemical that is harsh on the body and the planet. Fortunately, better options exist. Our bamboo toilet paper is whitened using an elemental chlorine free (ECF) process. It's a lot better for the environment and safer for our customers. By avoiding the use of elemental chlorine gas during the bleaching process, it prevents the formation of carcinogens.

What's with the paper wrappers?

We love supporting sustainable products, but it always makes us scratch our heads when we receive an "eco-friendly" product in wasteful, plastic packaging. We wanted to take a holistic approach to sustainability.

Rather than choosing the cheapest option, we chose the option that best helps us achieve one of our goals - reducing the use of plastic in single use packaging. The wrappers are both functional and practical. They meet all hygiene standards, protect the rolls during transport, and stack beautifully in your bathroom waiting patiently for their turn to be used. Plus, they are compostable!

Are the paper wrappers on the rolls compostable?

YES! We built elements of circular design and waste reduction into our product and making the wrappers compostable was a big part of that. All wrappers are colored using nontoxic dyes, so your plants will love it.

We also encourage you to upcycle the wrappers! They make for great gift wrapping and arts and crafts!

Is there any plastic in your packaging?

NOPE!

The rolls are individually wrapped in paper to avoid using plastic. The box is made of recycled cardboard, so you'll notice its different than any toilet paper you see in stores. Even the tape is plastic free - it's actually made with paper, water, and sugar!

Where is your bamboo toilet paper manufactured?

We're an American company, but there is no infrastructure or bamboo supply to have a "Made in USA" paper at this time. After searching far and wide, the highest quality bamboo toilet paper we found was being produced in China.

When the time comes we'd love to find a North American based partner (so if you have any leads, please send us an email at hello@gobetterway.com)! Meanwhile, we've found a partner who understands our mission and truly wants to help make a positive impact on deforestation in the world.

Are your products gluten-free?

Yes. Our bamboo products contain no gluten ingredients.

Is your paper formaldehyde-free and BPA-free?

Yes, our toilet paper doesn't contain formaldehyde or BPAs!

Do you test for PFAS?

Absolutely! We test for PFAS every year with independent labs, and we are happy to report that none have ever been detected any in our products. We are PFAs free.
