Lockdown might seem like an age away now, but it's definitely changed the way we live. In many cases, we don't just pop to the shop for a browse anymore or go for a day out to try on all the clothes with our best friends. Many of us have switched to buying products online for good, including our essentials - yep, including toilet rolls.
Remember when we thought loo roll would never return to shop shelves? Happy memories.

Want to know more about toilet paper than what to buy? We've pulled together some helpful FAQs to help answer some burning questions that you might have.
Can toilet paper be recycled?
According to Eco Sustainable Solutions, "A lot of tissue paper is made from already recycled paper. This...means that it can't be recycled again, the fibres are too short and will result in poor pulp in the recycling process. "
Can toilet paper go out of date?
As long as toilet paper is stored in the right condition and isn't damaged, it can last for a very long time. However, if the toilet paper gets wet, it will then become unusable. Such a relief, right?
Which toilet paper is safe for septic systems?
Going for a glamping holiday with your pals? You might need to take some loo roll with you that's safe for septic systems. You'll know that toilet paper can be used in a septic system if it is listed as septic system safe or biodegradable. We're full of useful information here...
