From China to Canada: Why We Moved Our Toilet Paper Production (And Why Your Butt Will Thank Us)

September 10, 2025

Plot twist: We just moved our toilet paper production 7,500 miles closer to your bathroom. And honestly? We're kind of freaking out about how much better it got.

After months of planning (and honestly, a few sleepless nights), Bim Bam Boo has officially moved our toilet paper manufacturing from China to Canada. Same woman-owned company, same Minneapolis headquarters, same tree-free mission – but now with some serious upgrades that'll make your bathroom routine even better.

Here's the inside story of why we made this massive supply chain shift, what it means for your favorite tree-free toilet paper, and why your butt is about to be very, very happy. (Spoiler alert: it starts with you asking us to do something we thought was impossible...)

The Short Answer: You Asked, We Listened

For months, the #1 request from our Boo Crew was simple: bigger rolls.

Traditional toilet paper companies like Charmin can easily adjust roll sizes because they control their entire supply chain. But as a smaller, mission-driven company importing finished products from overseas, making changes was... complicated.

But here's where it gets interesting.

Moving production to Canada changed everything. Suddenly, we could finally deliver what you've been asking for. And that's not even the best part...

The Long Answer: Supply Chain Strategy Meets Bathroom Innovation

Why Canada? (It's Not Just About Maple Syrup)

Honestly, staying in China would have been easier. Cheaper upfront. Less complicated. But "easier" doesn't get you bigger rolls when your customers have been asking for months. "Easier" doesn't cut your carbon footprint in half.

Here's what we discovered when we made the leap:

Shorter Supply Chain = Better Product When your toilet paper travels 7,500 fewer miles, some magical things happen:

Less compression during shipping = naturally more plush toilet paper
Faster production adjustments = we can respond to your feedback quicker
Lower shipping emissions = smaller carbon footprint for your bathroom

Quality Control Gets Personal With production closer to our Minneapolis headquarters, our team can actually visit the facility, test batches in person, and ensure every roll meets our lint-free, hypoallergenic standards.

But here's what really sold us on this move...

Economic Stability in Uncertain Times Let's be real – global supply chains are volatile. Having production in North America gives us more predictable timelines and helps us maintain stable pricing for our customers (even with potential tariff changes).

What Actually Changed? (Spoiler: Everything Got Better)

Imagine opening your next box of Bim Bam Boo and immediately feeling the difference. Here's what awaits you:

🐼 New Panda Emboss

Remember when our toilet paper was smooth? Not anymore. Our Canadian-made TP now features an adorable panda emboss that makes each sheet feel quilted. In testing, 73% of users preferred the embossed version for comfort.

📏 Bigger Individual Sheets

Before: 4" wide x 3.9" long
Now: 4" wide x 4.1" long

That extra 0.2 inches might seem small, but picture this: every single sheet in your bathroom just got an upgrade.

🧻 More Sheets Per Roll

Before: 295 sheets per roll
Now: 300 sheets per roll

🎉 The Math That Makes You Happy

With 24 rolls per box and 5 extra sheets per roll, you're getting 120 bonus sheets per box. That's 49+ extra feet of toilet paper at the same price you've always paid.

That's not even the most exciting part...

🌍 Smaller Environmental Impact

Moving production 7,500 miles closer doesn't just mean faster shipping. It means every single box that arrives at your door carries thousands fewer carbon emissions.

Think about it: your toilet paper used to travel further than most people go on vacation. Now it takes a quick trip across the border. That's not just logistics – that's a love letter to the planet.

What Stayed Exactly the Same

Because when something works, you don't mess with it:

✅ Same hypoallergenic formula – still gentle on sensitive skin
✅ Same lint-free experience – no annoying bits left behind like tree-based TP
✅ Same toxin-free manufacturing – no harsh chemicals or bleaches
✅ Same 2-ply strength – soft but strong
✅ Same tree-free bamboo – still fighting deforestation with every wipe
✅ Same price – no increases despite major supply chain improvements

FAQ:

Everything You're Wondering About Our Canadian Adventure (Plus the Questions You Haven't Thought to Ask Yet)

Q: Are all Bim Bam Boo products now made in Canada?

A: Nope! Just our toilet paper made the Canadian leap. Our paper towels, facial tissue, and wet wipes are still produced in Asia. Think of this as our first step toward North American manufacturing for all products.

Q: Will the toilet paper feel different?

A: Yes, but in the best way. The panda emboss gives it a more quilted feel, and the shorter shipping distance means it's naturally more plush (less compression damage during transport). Picture unwrapping a roll that hasn't been squished for weeks in a shipping container.

Q: Did the price change?

A: Not at all. Same price, upgraded product. In today's inflationary environment, that's honestly pretty remarkable. (We're as surprised as you are.)

Q: When will I receive Canadian-made toilet paper?

A: If you're a subscriber, you're already getting the first batches! One-time order customers can expect Canadian-made TP with their next purchase.

Q: Is this actually better for the environment?

A: Absolutely. Shorter shipping distances mean lower carbon emissions per box. Plus, we maintained all the environmental benefits you love – tree-free, plastic-free packaging, and sustainable bamboo sourcing.

But here's what really gets us excited...

Q: What about quality control?

A: This is actually where we're most excited. Having production closer to our Minneapolis headquarters means our team can visit the facility, test products in person, and ensure consistent quality. No more playing telephone across 12 time zones.

The Bigger Picture: What This Means for Tree-Free Living

This move isn't just about toilet paper – it's about proving that sustainable products can be made closer to home without sacrificing quality or affordability.

For too long, eco-friendly products meant choosing between your values and your budget, or between sustainability and convenience. Our Canadian manufacturing proves you don't have to make those trade-offs.

Here's what we're really building...

We're not just making toilet paper. We're building a supply chain that shows other companies what's possible when you prioritize both people and the planet.

Every roll that comes out of our Canadian facility is proof that North American manufacturing can compete on quality, price, AND environmental impact.

What's Next for Bim Bam Boo?

This Canadian move is just the beginning. We're exploring North American manufacturing options for our other products, always with the same goals:

Better products for our customers
Smaller environmental impact
Supporting North American manufacturing jobs
Maintaining affordable prices

And honestly? We can't wait to see what becomes possible next.
