Everything you need to make the call - who each one is for, and who should skip it.
Go for it if you...
Environmental sustainability (recycled content, PCF bleaching) is your primary purchase criterion and you accept the PFAS contamination tradeoff.
You're looking for a fragrance-free, conventionally-available option and PFAS exposure is not your primary concern.
You're making an incremental sustainability upgrade from conventional virgin-pulp brands and forest impact reduction is your goal — understanding that chemical safety testing is still needed.
You want the highest-confidence chemical verification available and won't compromise on lab-backed proof over brand claims.
Someone in your household has sensitivities to PFAS, formaldehyde, fragrances, or dyes and you need confirmed non-detect results, not inferences.
You're already managing a brand-direct subscription for other household goods and adding one more isn't a friction point.
You have a septic system and want a toilet paper that's both confirmed safe for plumbing and confirmed safe chemically.
The main thing to know
Despite the eco-friendly branding, independent lab testing found the highest PFAS level in Mamavation's toilet paper test set — a result that comes directly from the recycled fiber supply chain Seventh Generation relies on.
Only available through plantpaper.us — not on Amazon — which means no Prime shipping, and you're managing your own subscription or one-time orders directly with the brand.
Skip this if you...
PFAS exposure is a concern for your household — this product tested positive at the highest level in Mamavation's category test.
You're drawn to it for its eco-friendly positioning and assumed that meant chemical safety — those are different credentials here.
You have young children, are pregnant, or are actively trying to reduce persistent chemical body burden.
You rely on Amazon Prime for household staples and don't want to manage a separate brand-site subscription.
Per-roll cost is a deciding factor — $1.19/roll is a real premium, and alternatives with nearly as good a safety profile cost less.
Neither of these quite what you're looking for?
