Rating: 4.5/5⭐️ Only thing bringing it down is paper texture could be improved.
My overall review: love WGAC! From the subscription format to their ethics and sustainability. I've used the recycled toilet paper from them for over 2 years, although there are some cons I will continue to use them for several reasons.

Pros:
The most obvious reason, it's recycled paper. Meaning no trees were cut down just for you to flush it down the loo.
WGAC is giving back. They donate 50% of their profits to help build toilets and improve sanitation in the developing world.
It's plastic free! They're wrapped in paper and come in a cardboard box, the only plastic is the packing tape but they have said that they're going to phase that out too.
The subscription system is so easy and reliable. I never have to think about running out of toilet paper, I get an email saying when to expect my next box and I can advance or delay it depending on my needs.
Cons:
The price. Although you do need to keep in mind that their rolls are bigger than the average brands making it more difficult to compare price per roll. I get the 24 roll box which cost £24, aka £1 per roll. If I look at the average price of toilet paper it would be £0.5 per roll but this is for standard toilet paper that isn't recycled or sustainably produced. So when you take into consideration the larger roll size and sustainability aspect you are still paying slightly more. It is somewhat justifiable considering the good this company is doing but it still stings to pay £24 in one go for toilet paper.
The texture. You are paying the price of fancy plush toilet paper but getting pretty basic, slightly dusty toilet paper. I don't particularly mind but this could be a big draw back for some.
Storage. I love that you get a big box and then don't have to worry for a long time about getting TP, this could be a problem for those with limited storage and space.
Boyfriend's review who's not as eco-conscious: It's ok but I dislike the texture and quality of the toilet paper, it's not very strong and can be a bit flaky. I still use it but only because it's the preferred TP of those I live with.
