Who Gives A Crap has launched the ‘Poetry Edition’ to help inspire creativity



New research by Who Gives A Crap, has revealed almost two-in-three (64%) Aussies are feeling as though their creativity has been stunted due to the chaos of the world.

To help those feeling creatively constipated, the eco-friendly toilet paper brand is encouraging Aussies to use little everyday moments to get their creative juices flowing. 

The current state of the world had the largest impact on Gen Z’s creativity, with more than four-in-five (81%) of those surveyed noting they experienced a decline in their creativity. This is compared to Millennials (76.6%), Gen X (59.5%), and Boomers (48.6%), who also felt a decrease in their creativity.  

To help Aussies rekindle their creativity, Who Gives A Crap wants to turn the humble bathroom into a creative nirvana with the launch of its newest limited edition – the ‘Poetry Edition’. With 48.2% of bathroom goers spending over an hour a week on the toilet, the bathroom may be considered the neverland of creative thoughts. 

Expert psychologist Rupert Saunders notes that the loo can be a relaxing place for those feeling creatively stumped. 

“For some people, the act of sitting on a toilet can be quite calming. It is often a place where you feel connected to your body and brain, creating a sense of relaxation, which can help your mind wander,” says Saunders.

With ‘doom scrolling’ entering the cultural zeitgeist, and 43.8% of people using social media when sitting on the bog, Who Gives A Crap is hoping to change Australians’ bathroom habits, one bamboo toilet paper roll at a time. 

Saunders continues, “People are becoming increasingly time-poor, with lots of distractions from life making opportunities for creative thinking more challenging. Finding small moments in the day – like using the loo – and avoiding distractions like scrolling social media can help get your imagination whirling, particularly if you are feeling uninspired.” 

With 63% of Aussies surveyed revealing they struggle with creativity, Who Gives A Crap is hoping to help get Aussies out of the creative block, encouraging them to use those micro-moments in a meaningful way, with help from its latest release. 

Fashioned to reflect the state of the world, the ‘Poetry Edition’ has a creative and cathartic feel, with it designed to inspire self-expression. The 100% bamboo roll wrappers feature fun and chaotic words to stack, swap, and help make a statement in the loo; prompting people to be ridiculous, weird, and unabashedly themselves.

With 67.5% of Aussies surveyed finding they express themselves best through talking and writing, Aussies can leave fun quotes behind in the loo for their family, partner, kids, and housemates to find. 

The ‘Poetry Edition’ is available for a limited time only in a box of 48 rolls for A$66.00, or a box of 24 rolls for A$40.00 via the Who Gives A Crap website from 22 July 2024.  Fifty per cent of all profits from the ‘Poetry Edition’ will be donated to help give everyone in the world access to clean water and a toilet.
