During the difficult COVID-19 pandemic, many of us are looking for new ways to save money. You may feel like you've exhausted all your cost-saving strategies, but have you tried to minimize your toilet paper budget? While the cost of a toilet paper pack may not seem high, it can add up over time.

Washloo's team analysed the cost of toilet paper in the "big four" supermarkets and popular toilet paper brands, and their research found that the average cost of 3-ply toilet paper a year for a family of four was around £274.32.

By comparison, however, a smart toilet, where the user flushes with water after using the toilet, costs just £4.46 a year for one person and £17.84 for four. Using a smart toilet makes toilet paper unnecessary and eliminates the cost entirely, saving families around £256.48 a year. And according to research, it takes about 37 gallons of water to produce a roll of toilet paper, and only one-eighth of a gallon of water is needed for each smart toilet flush.

Using a smart toilet can help your family save money every year by eliminating the cost of fixing paper without changing the comfort of your everyday bathroom.
