Know Your Roll: Choosing the Right Toilet Paper for Your Home (and for the Planet)

At About A Dog, we know toilet paper might not seem like the most thrilling topic, but when it comes to sustainability, comfort, and making a positive impact, it's worth knowing what sets each roll apart.

Whether you’re after something luxurious and plush, reliable for everyday use, or low-waste and practical, we’ve got an eco-friendly toilet paper option to suit your household or workplace. Let’s break it down:

Premium Toilet Paper – Luxe Comfort With Next-Level Craftsmanship

If you love a little luxury in life (even in the loo), our Premium Rolls are for you.

These triple-ply rolls undergo an exclusive, multi-step embossing process. First, each ply is individually separated and passed through a specialised embossing technique that increases both bulk and strength. Then, they’re brought back together and passed through a 1-ton metal roll to securely bind the fibres.

The result? A soft yet structured finish with a unique embossed texture that makes every bathroom break feel just a little bit fancy.

Standard Toilet Paper – Everyday Softness You Can Count On

Our Standard Rolls are a favourite for good reason. Using a single embossing roll, the 1-ton metal cylinder compresses all three plies together in one motion, breaking the fibres and locking them in place, all while adding our signature flower emboss.

Soft, strong, and ready for daily use, it’s the roll that gets the job done with comfort and consistency.

Unwrapped Toilet Paper – No Fuss, No Waste

Looking to reduce waste even further? Our Unwrapped Rolls offer the same softness and durability as our Standard Rolls, just without the packaging.

Perfect for bulk buyers, eco-conscious households, or zero-waste businesses, this option is practical, low-impact, and kind to the planet.

What Every About A Dog Roll Has in Common

No matter which roll you choose, every one of our products is made with sustainable materials, responsible manufacturing, and animal welfare in mind:

✅ Triple-ply softness for strength and comfort
✅ Made from FSC-certified recycled paper with no inks, dyes, or scents
✅ Proudly Australian made
✅ Wrapped in certified home-compostable packaging (except our unwrapped rolls)

We’re proud to offer a range of sustainable toilet paper options without compromising on performance, quality, or values.

Embossing – Where Comfort Meets Purpose

Look for our signature embossing to tell the difference between our rolls — and feel the difference too.

Our Standard toilet paper features a flower pattern, chosen not only for its symbolic connection to the natural habitats we aim to protect, but also for its performance. Each indentation is placed to maximise smoothness while increasing the bulkiness of the paper, breaking fibres at just the right points to enhance your wipe without compromising strength.

Our Premium toilet paper, on the other hand, uses a precision dotted pattern. This embossing is engineered purely for performance — breaking fibres at consistent, optimised lengths to increase absorbency, bulk, and softness, offering the most luxurious experience possible from recycled paper.

Septic Tank Safe

All of our toilet paper rolls, Standard, Premium, Wrapped, and Unwrapped—are safe for use with septic tanks. However, if you're looking for the best option, we recommend our Standard rolls (both wrapped and unwrapped). 

They’re designed to break down efficiently while still offering great strength and comfort, making them an ideal choice for households with septic systems.

The About A Dog Promise

When you choose About A Dog, you’re not just making a better choice for your home — you’re supporting a bigger mission.
