  • Very soft and using it makes me feel as I am making a difference since it is sourced differently then most toilet paper manufacturers.

  • Great product, a bit too much packaging. Just having it in the box is enough, dont need the paper around each roll. Good texture and is durable. Doesn’t rip easily or feel too thin.

  • I've tried bamboo TP before (the brown paper). This one was much better, softer. I thought it would be thicker, since it is 3-ply, but it is quite thin. I checked to see how thick each layer is, and it's basically transparent, thinner than a dryer sheet. I love how each roll is individually wrapped - makes it feel like a hotel.

  • Great product. I felt this product was great and comparable to the higher quality toilet paper products out on the market right now. Will definitely purchase again.

  • Not only is it better for the environment and feels great on my bum too. It has a soft and chemical free feel to it. This is my new brand to use.

  • Higher end price for bamboo toilet paper, that’s better than toilet paper from a hotel. But definitely more expensive.

  • I love this kind of toilet paper. The tissue of it is not that soft than I think and it’s thinner but strong. The packaging is special too.

  • It's soft and durable, doesn't leave a mess of bits of paper. Is great for the planet and even the packaging can be recycled so it's great all around.

  • I'm a big fan of reel paper towels! I'm trying to use products containing less chemicals mainly because I have 2 young children and these paper towels are just what I needed to replace my bounty paper towels! They're on the pricey side and can't get them as cheap as I'd get the regular paper towels but they're worth it! I wish more stores carried reel. I have to drive out of my way to find them :/

  • I love the packaging and the fact that it is tree free. It is made from 100% bamboo. It is also soft for the tushy.

  • Reel is an eco-friendly toilet paper brand that stands out for its commitment to sustainability. Made from 100% bamboo, it’s a great alternative to traditional toilet paper, which often contributes to deforestation. The texture is surprisingly soft and durable, providing a comfortable experience without sacrificing strength. Each roll is thick, lasting longer than expected, which adds value. The packaging is plastic-free, further aligning with its environmentally conscious mission. If you’re looking for a high-quality, sustainable option, Reel is definitely worth trying.

  • I loved this toilet paper. I tried their paper towels recently and loved how they are select a size and thicker than I expected (kind of like bounty). Looking forward to new things they’ll make (tissues, napkins?)

  • I like that it's made with bamboo. It being three ply made me think it would be softer than it is. I would purchase again on sale.

  • The paper was soft to touch. It didn’t leave any little papers behind. If I were to change something I would prefer something with a little more bounce and cushion.

  • It's pretty decent toilet paper. It is a bit rough to use, in my opinion, but it gets the job done and that is all that matters.
