Reel earns strong reviews as a sustainable, bamboo-based toilet paper that works: it’s consistently described as soft enough, strong, absorbent, and lint-free, with many users switching permanently. Reviews also flag weaknesses—several find it less plush than top national brands, occasionally thin or a bit rough, with smaller rolls—and note some prefer a softer, thicker feel.

  • First time buying reel and it has honestly been a nice surprise! It’s made from bamboo, so it’s eco-friendly, but it doesn’t feel like a compromise at all. The rolls are soft, strong, and last a decent amount of time. It’s also comforting to know I’m using something sustainable, and I feel good about cutting down on my waste. If you’re looking for something that’s gentle on the planet and does the job well, Reel is worth a try ◡̈ !

  • Was apprehensive about bamboo toilet paper - but I have to say it was great! Mimicked ordinary toilet paper quite well and it is a great product to use because of how environmentally friendly it is. Slightly more expensive than normal toilet paper, but worth buying if you can afford it! Excited and curious to try their paper towel product as well.

  • This is my first time buying this product and I was amazed at the quality of this paper. If u like soft I wouldn't really recommend but if u like high quality paper that can hold and very strong I would highly recommend I loved that it was strong verry resistant but at the same time verry easy to tear off but resistant when it can to whipping. I love that it's friendly to the environment and I will definitely be purchasing more of this brands products I would love to try the paper towels now bcs I always need like 10 of them so if the paper is this resistant I'm sure the papers towels also will be so I can wait to try if there's another offer available. I would have given it a 5 start if it was just a little softer in the intimate area but over all great brand !

    I am so glad I tried Reel Toilet Paper. The packaging is so refreshing for the first time buying toilet paper not packaged in all Plastic!! The toilet paper was strong & way softer then I imagined it would be! I will definitely be buying Reel Toilet Paper again!

  • Love Reel so much! Great toilet paper, that is thick and substantial. Reel in my opinion is the best sustainable toilet paper.

  • For a sustainable product, this toilet paper was pretty effective! Comfortable and thick enough to use without structural integrity issues.

  • Thanks to this page I was able to buy and use this toilet paper for the first time. I didn't like it that much. It's a single-ply toilet paper, very simple. It's not that soft. The company's intention to find new alternatives for making toilet paper is good. But they should improve the quality of the paper.

  • There's a lot of things that I love about Reel. One, I appreciate the half-sheet sizing because it definitely helps to cut down on waste. Sometimes I don't need a full-sized paper towel, but the mess also calls for tossing rather than washing. I also love that this product is made with 100% recycled paper, saving more of the trees we need and love. Adding to all of this is the fact that Reel is made without harsh chemicals, so I have no hesitation about bring it in to my household. Lots of good stuff about Reel and no complaints!
