I wanted to bring your attention to 2 amazing charities that ToiletPaperWorld.com supports. As a pet-friendly workplace, we love animals of all kinds and thankfully there are so many great organizations out there that agree with us! One of our customers is the Elephant Sanctuary of Tennessee- they do amazing work providing refuge for 15 gorgeous elephants! This sanctuary is specifically designed to care for old, sick & needy elephants that have been retired from zoos and circuses. This elephant sanctuary is the largest in the nation and needs thousands of dollars per elephant per year to survive! If you would like to support this wonderful cause, please donate here or contact us about arranging a donation of necessary items like paper towels & cleaning supplies.

We also recently learned about the Center for Great Apes, a sanctuary in Florida that cares for over 40 orangutans & chimpanzees that have been retired from the entertainment industry. While we may get a few laughs from the apes on TV, these intelligent & caring animals have to suffer a lot of misery while doing so, and often end up discarded in dilapidated zoos, or in cramped cages to live out their lives. You can donate here, or contact us to send them some necessary supplies!

Thank you for reading and we hope you can help support these wonderful sanctuaries!

We sat down with the Toilet Paper King Kenn Fischburg, author of the Toilet Paper Encyclopedia for a little Q & A on the subject.

Q. Do you prefer moist wipes over traditional toilet paper as a part of your bathroom routine?

A. Yes, if the situation calls for it. Moist wipes will do the best cleaning for sure. But in the end the regular tissue leaves my skin dry and comfortable. For very sanitary minded individuals using both is the best. You just need to spend a little more time. (In my interview with Howard Stern about this subject he was enthusiastic about utilizing moist wipes as part of the final cleansing procedure).

Q. Do you only use either toilet paper or moist wipes alone, or do you always use both together?

A. The moist wipes are great on their own but I prefer using them with regular dry tp to finish the procedure.

Q. Why is there discussion over moist wipes vs. toilet paper?

A. The question of which tp is preferred helps me understand customer needs. It is common for users to try to save money but when it comes to this subject money is not the issue. The best tp may be only pennies more per application and is well worth the extra small cost. Adding high quality premium moist wipes into the equation is like having dessert.

Q.  Does this ever come up in everyday conversation?

A. The subject can be entertaining and informative. It can also be intimidating for some to speak about. Because I am known for my expertise in this area I am often drawn into this type of discussion. I try to avoid uncomfortable conversations with customers and business people unless they are in the industry.

I have a old roll of Scott toilet tissue. The name on the front of the roll is spelled with only 1 T (Scot).
Do you know how old this roll of toilet tissue is? I tried to get in touch with the Kimberly Clark Corp, but no answer back from them.

Do you have any clue when this roll of toilet paper may have been made? Leave your comment below to help solve the mystery!

Black toilet paper can be a fashionable addition to your bathroom. This toilet paper is biodegradable and nontoxic.

The description on Firebox claims, “Renova Black won’t leave black marks where it shouldn’t.”

Each order comes with three rolls of black toilet paper in a black tin, a rather pricey novelty toilet paper. But if you’re desperate for a new way to dress up your bathroom experience, this might be worth it! It’s something that probably none of your friends have ever seen!

Thanks to Lost at E Minor for the pic!

Last week Newark Mayor Cory Booker announced budget cut backs on many things, including toilet paper for city employees! Two toilet paper companies based out of New Jersey, Marcal Manufacturing and justtoiletpaper.com, have stepped up to donate toilet paper rolls.

This Thursday, Marcal Manufacturing will pull up in front of City Hall in a tractor trailer and hand out 50,000 rolls of recycled toilet paper! The city employees must only present their city IDs to receive a free roll of bath tissue.

In an interview with NJ.com, Mark Polish, the head of justtoiletpaper.com said, “Isn’t it someone’s right to have toilet paper at work?” His company will set up a donation button on its online site. Customers will be able to to donate Santa Clause toilet paper to city employees with a click of the mouse. Polish said the paper will also help Newark have a clean, happy Christmas in July.
