Kosher Innovations has released a new product: Shabbos Toilet Paper. What’s so special about the new Shabbos Bathroom Tissue? 

The Kosher Innovations Shabbos Bathroom Tissue replaces the regular roll of toilet paper and hangs within easy reach. Removing the roll prevents accidental tearing on Shabbos.

On Shabbos and Yom Tov, there’s no issue with their tissue, you might say.

“It’s pre-cut 2-ply toilet paper in a unique box,” Kosher Innovations tells Matzav.com. “It pulls easily from the box just like facial tissue, but unlike facial tissue, it is sized just right so it’s easier on the toilet. Each sheet of bathroom tissue is precut so there is no possibility of tearing. Our newest Shabbos Bathroom Tissue is made from softer and stronger paper and features new artwork on the boxes.

People have been asking for the Shabbos Bathroom Tissue, Kosher Innovations tells us.

Kosher Innovations actually stopped manufacturing its original Shabbos Bathroom Tissue a while ago with no plans to bring it back.

“Since then,” Kosher Innovations says, “many people have called us asking if we could make more. We try to make our customers happy, so not only did we bring back the Shabbos Bathroom Tissue, this new version is also softer and comes in attractive boxes with photographic nature designs.

The Shabbos Bathroom Tissue comes in an elegant, sturdy dispenser box. The durable cardboard material won’t break off of the roll holder and is strong enough to withstand heavy use, even by children. Each multi-pack contains four attractively designed boxes to complement any bathroom decor.

The Shabbos Bathroom Tissue is pre-cut so there’s no tearing on Shabbos. The decorative dispenser box clearly indicates to you, your family and your guests that this bathroom tissue is made especially for Shabbos.

HALACHIC IMPORTANCE

The most important and often overlooked part of bathroom preparations is making sure that you don’t mistakenly tear any paper on Shabbos. This relates to the prohibited melacha of mechatech. Some people pre-tear their toilet paper and fill a basket with it. This is fine if you want to spend the time and effort, but it often ends up with scraps of paper underfoot and wasted toilet paper. It’s also very hard to keep the pile of toilet paper looking neat and staying in the basket.

Some people use facial tissue. Many brands of facial tissue have sheets of paper that are attached by tiny perforations. This means that when you pull out a tissue, you are actually tearing the two sheets apart. There are a few brands of facial tissue that do not have perforations but they are often very expensive and the large size of the tissue sheets are often wasteful.

The Shabbos Bathroom Tissue from Kosher Innovations avoids the prohibited melacha of mechatech on Shabbos. It does not tear, because each sheet is individually pre-cut and folded. And since each sheet is the size of two toilet paper squares, you only take what you need, reducing wasted paper and saving you money. Most importantly, when you replace the regular toilet paper roll with Kosher Innovations Shabbos Bathroom Tissue, you are preventing other people from accidentally tearing on Shabbos. This is true especially for children and any guests you may have who are unaware of the prohibition.
