At Dwell Refine, Earth Day is more than a date on the calendar—it’s a call to live with greater intention, every single day. Celebrated each year on April 22, Earth Day is a global reminder that the small choices we make—from what we buy to how we care for ourselves—carry real weight in shaping a more sustainable future.
This year, we’re spotlighting three brands that align beautifully with that mission: TUSHY, Who Gives A Crap, and Thinx. Each one transforms a daily routine into something more mindful—offering cleaner, gentler, less wasteful alternatives to the products we rely on most.
A Better Bathroom Ritual, Start to Finish
When used together, these brands create a simple ecosystem of care that supports both you and the planet. TUSHY reduces waste with every wash. Who Gives A Crap provides a sustainable backup when paper is needed. And Thinx reimagines period care with washable, reusable designs. The result? Less waste, fewer chemicals, and a daily ritual that leaves you (and the earth) better off. Let’s take a closer look at what makes each one worth the switch.
TUSHY: A Bidet That’s Changing the Game
If you’re looking for one of the easiest, most impactful ways to reduce waste and improve hygiene, it starts with a bidet. TUSHY makes sleek, modern bidet attachments that transform your bathroom routine into something more sustainable and significantly cleaner.
Why TUSHY?
- Reduces toilet paper use by up to 80%
- Uses only 1/8 gallon of water per use
- Minimizes exposure to bleaches and forever chemicals
- Easy to install and aesthetically sleek
And for those looking to truly elevate the experience, meet the TUSHY AURA Luxury Bidet Seat—a fully loaded bidet seat that brings spa-like comfort right to your home. With features like temperature-controlled water, heated seating, air dryer, and custom wash settings, the AURA blends high-tech functionality with eco-conscious design.
Who Gives A Crap: Toilet Paper That Cares
Toilet paper may be a bathroom staple, but not all rolls are created equal. Who Gives A Crap offers a truly thoughtful alternative to conventional rolls: made with 100% recycled paper or bamboo, plastic-free packaging, and absolutely no inks, dyes, or fragrances.
Why Who Gives A Crap?
- Made with 100% recycled materials
- Packaged completely plastic-free
- 50% of profits donated to building toilets in underserved communities
- Shipped in bulk to reduce emissions and waste
Their 100% Recycled Jumbo Rolls are the brand’s most sustainable option yet. Each roll lasts longer and minimizes the number of deliveries needed—saving packaging, reducing shipping emissions, and lowering your environmental impact. It’s the perfect pairing to your TUSHY setup, offering a guilt-free backup when you do need a little extra.
Thinx: Period Care That Actually Cares
Traditional period products are not only expensive and wasteful—they often contain harmful chemicals like dioxins, fragrance additives, and plastic fibers that can disrupt hormones and irritate skin. Thinx is changing the narrative with their line of washable, reusable period underwear.
What We Love About Thinx?
- Reusable and machine-washable
- Free from harmful chemicals
- Designed for all-day comfort and absorbency
- Reduces plastic and paper waste
We especially love the Period All Day Hiphuggers Lover Set—a feel-good duo that blends function with style. Made with soft, breathable fabrics and delicate lace detailing, it’s proof that period care can be both comfortable and beautiful. Ideal for daily wear, light-to-medium flows, or as backup with other products, it’s a great first step into reusables.
With over 11,000 disposable period products used in the average lifetime, switching to Thinx is a meaningful way to reduce waste while caring for your body.
The Bigger Picture: Wellness Is Environmental
These aren’t just convenience upgrades—they’re long-term lifestyle shifts. By choosing to swap your traditional bathroom and period products for eco-conscious alternatives, you’re helping to reduce:
- Deforestation from paper production
- Chemical pollution in waterways and bodies
- Plastic waste in oceans and landfills
- Overconsumption of single-use products
And beyond the environmental impact, these products are gentler on your body—free from harmful chemicals, built for comfort, and made to last.
The Dwell Refine Earth Day Challenge
This Earth Day, we’re inviting our readers to look at their routines through a new lens. If we all made just one sustainable switch, the collective impact would be incredible.
So here’s our challenge:
