In-Depth Review
Transforming a Daily Essential into a Force for Good
Who Gives A Crap (WGAC) started with a viral crowdfunding campaign and a simple realization: billions of people lack access to a toilet. This 3-ply bamboo toilet paper is designed to provide a premium, soft feel while completely bypassing the deforestation associated with traditional tissue products. Bamboo grows significantly faster than trees—up to 3 feet per day—making it an incredibly renewable resource that requires no pesticides and significantly less water than cotton or eucalyptus.
Social Impact at the Core
What sets this product apart in the health and wellness sector is its radical commitment to philanthropy. 50% of all profits are donated to partners like WaterAid to build toilets and improve sanitation in developing countries. To date, the company has donated millions of dollars, directly impacting the health and hygiene of hundreds of thousands of people. This 'profit-for-purpose' model ensures that every roll you use contributes to a global wellness initiative.
