Featured Environments
Independently verified settings where True Grit products have been deployed, reviewed, and in some cases, confiscated.
The Executive Suite
Nothing says 'I earned this corner office' like industrial-grade personal care. True Grit has been adopted by Fortune 500 executives who believe that if the quarterly review didn't make them uncomfortable, the bathroom shouldn't either. Our 40-Grit Original is now standard issue in 3 corporate headquarters that we are not legally permitted to name.

The Modern Home
Your bathroom has heated floors, a rainfall shower, and imported Italian tile. Why should the toilet paper be soft? True Grit brings balance to the modern home — a reminder that luxury is earned, not given. Interior designers have described our product as 'an interesting choice' and 'please leave my office.'
Voted 'Most Unexpected Housewarming Gift' 4 years running

Additional Applications
Our customers continue to find new and deeply questionable uses for our products.
The Campsite
When you're three days into a backcountry trip and the only alternative is a pinecone, True Grit starts to look pretty good. Our Starter Kit has become a staple of ultralight backpackers who appreciate that at 24-grit, the paper doubles as a fire starter. Pack it in, pack it out — if you can still walk.
Doubles as emergency fire starter
The Doomsday Bunker
Preppers love True Grit. With an indefinite shelf life and zero moisture sensitivity, our sandpaper products will outlast every other supply in your bunker. When civilization collapses, you'll have the cleanest situation in the wasteland. Several customers have reported stockpiling 10+ years of supply. We do not ask follow-up questions.
Indefinite shelf life. Zero moisture sensitivity.
The Fraternity House
True Grit has become the hazing alternative that technically doesn't violate any university policies. It's just toilet paper. That it happens to be made of sandpaper is, legally speaking, a personal choice. We've received thank-you letters from 14 Greek organizations and cease-and-desist letters from 3 university health centers.
Technically not a policy violation
The In-Law's Guest Bathroom
For when you want to send a message that's firm but not directly confrontational. True Grit in the guest bathroom says 'you're welcome here, but not too welcome.' Relationship counselors have described this application as 'passive-aggressive' and 'honestly kind of brilliant.'

The Gym & Wellness Center
No pain, no gain applies to every part of the fitness journey. Several CrossFit gyms have adopted True Grit as part of their holistic suffering philosophy. Members report that it 'completes the experience' and 'makes the workout feel less bad by comparison.' We consider both of these endorsements.
