PRINTED COMPARISONS:
"If every household in the US replaced just one 4-pack of 400 sheet virgin fiber bathroom tissue with 100% recycled ones, we could save:

  • 1,450,000 trees
  • 3.7 million cubic feet of landfill space, equal to over 5,500 full garbage trucks
  • 523 million gallons of water, a year's supply for over 4,100 families of four
  • (there's more)
ANY OTHER INFO:
They have an 800# where you can call and talk about the paper.

OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION:
This environmentally-correct toilet paper is made from 100% recycled paper (presumably not TOILET paper, but they don't really say). It boasts that it has no dyes or scents, and is whitened without chlorine bleach. They give a whole explanation about how conventionally bleached paper creates dioxin, which is bad for the living things.
SUBJECTIVE REVIEW:
This is hard-core, feel-good toilet paper. The cost is slighly more, but I feel like I'm doing my part each time I wipe. Just watch for the Braille-like dots on one side of the paper. You want to put this side AWAY from your butt, otherwise it's like driving over those bumpy highway reflectors.
ANYTHING ELSE:
Nice, beefy double-rolls. I'm just surprised they use plastic wrapping -- which of course burns to create nasty chemicals. Maybe someday they'll get with the program and use biodegradeable wrapping.

Seventh Gen TP is one of the only kinds I've used that doesn't leave nasty white specks all over you. Thats important!

I've been using this brand a long time, but hey, 7th Gen, what's with the plastic wrap on the 12 roll packs? Why not just box it up, no wrapping at all on the rolls?

Plastic wrap?!?

I thought they were supposed to be preserving the environment. Sounds like one of those moronic things that that idiot Tre Arrow would use.

Save the redwoods! Meeting today. Bring your redwood picnic table!

Duh!

This toilet paper is a disaster! I don't know who the members of the 7th generation are but their anuses must not be near as hapy as the 6th generation's.

The thing is... I use almost THREE times as much paper so it is NOT environmentally (or anally) friendly. Where I come from we call this John Wayne toilet paper...

Rough and tough and don't take shi*t off no one.

After 30 years of using Scott toilet tissue and wanting to switch to something more environmental, we decided to try 7th Generation. After a week, my anus and labia areas are red and swollen. No joke!!! Rough, is a understatement. Looking at the posts, it would seem 7th has changed something recently. I left a message for them to call me.

In addition, I agree with the last post, the reason we never changed paper before was because it seemed wasteful to use a roll which would run out more frequently--too many resources seem to go into into making the paper roll cores.

Anyone have an idea who I would report my health reaction? Thanks.

I bought a case of this off the internet, and 10 rolls into the case, I'm about ready to donate to the homeless shelter. Its rough, man! The good news is that a week of this stuff makes "Green Forest" feel like Charmin.

I truly wanted to like it, but the absorbancy is poor, and you will soon be saddle sore. I have discovered that there are limits to my environmental commitment.
