The difference and similarities in our 2-ply and 3-ply toilet paper

Whether you prefer 2-ply or 3-ply, you will find the perfect toilet paper for you and your bottom with us! Durability? Check. Softness? Check. But what is the difference? And which is better for you? Let's dive deeper into this in this blog.

The differences

The basics

The obvious difference between 2-ply and 3-ply toilet paper is of course the number of layers that make up the paper. With 2-ply toilet paper, two layers of paper are combined into one sheet, and with 3-ply toilet paper, these are three layers. But of course you already knew this. But did you also know that this makes a bigger difference than you might think?

Fun fact: Our toilet paper is not glued together with glue, but our paper has a relief strip on the sides (''knurling'' for the experts among us), which serves for the layer adhesion. This is done with a water-based liquid! Super sustainable.

Comfort

The number one factor that people look at when buying toilet paper is the comfort and softness of the paper. Logical, if you ask us. That is why we like to play into this and ensure that there is a punch on the toilet paper, which makes the paper soft for your bottom. In general, the rule is, the more sheets are connected together, the softer the sheet. That is why we also have the 3-layer toilet paper, for our toilet queens. Is this a bit too luxurious for you? We also have the 2-layer version.

The agreements

Courage

Besides the fact that comfort is important to many people, the strength of the toilet paper also plays a big role. Because let's be honest, there is nothing more annoying than paper that tears off... That's why we made sure that our toilet paper is super strong. But what often happens is that if the paper is strong, it doesn't flush properly. That's why we did a study on how well our bamboo paper flushes. Because easily biodegradable toilet paper is friendlier to the environment, because it breaks down quickly and causes less burden on ecosystems. This makes it more sustainable.

Our research started with the PAS3 test method. This method basically revolves around the simple question: ''How does our bamboo toilet paper hold up when you flush it?'' This test was carried out with water flows that resemble those in narrow sewers. In this test it was tested whether more than 80% of our bamboo toilet paper could pass through a 25mm sieve after 30 minutes. The good news was that our toilet paper passed this test and could be flushed through sewer systems without any problems! So, our paper is not only strong and soft, but also environmentally and sewer friendly.

Sustainability

In addition to comfort and the strength of the toilet paper, we at The Good Roll are always concerned with sustainability. This is our top priority. Fortunately, our customers think the same! All our toilet paper variants are made from 100% recycled paper, kraft or 100% bamboo paper. They are also free of chlorine, dyes and fragrances. So they are always sustainable products and good for the environment. In addition, 50% of the net profit goes to our foundation. With our foundation, we build and maintain toilets in Ghana, for people for whom this is not a given. And we provide information about hygiene at schools. So you buy soft, strong and sustainable toilet paper. And this while you also make an impact. A win-win situation.

Next to this you have probably seen that our rolls are not white, but have a nice gold/brown color. The reason for this is that we do not use chlorine to make our rolls white, because that is not necessary at all! Is this not your style? Then we have a very nice wrapper for every type of toilet paper, printed with bio-ink. So very good for the environment!

Continuous improvement and development

We are continuously working on improving our products. That is why we have recently added a 3-layer version of our bamboo variant to our range. As a result, we now offer both 2- and 3-layer bamboo toilet paper! But we do not stop here. We are constantly coming up with new variants of our paper. You can think of a different figure on the roll, which makes your roll stick together even better. Or making our toilet paper more flushable.

We are also switching to kraft paper, instead of recycled paper. The choice for kraft paper is based on the fact that the production of this paper is less energy and water intensive than that of traditional recycled toilet paper. A major advantage of kraft paper is that it does not need to be bleached, which means that the rolls retain their natural color. This forms a striking contrast with white toilet paper, which is often treated with bleaching agents to obtain that bright color. However, choosing the natural color of kraft paper is not only about the appearance; it is also better for the planet. Want to read more about this switch?
