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.

  • Pleasantly surprised! Seemed thin to the eye at first. Amazingly strong, no breakthroughs, and not scratchy!

  • I did like this paper it was really smooth. It was actually smoother than I thought and it was soft. I couldn’t even tell the difference from other toilet papers. I would much encourage people to purchase it

  • It is the first ever toilet paper brand that I know using bamboo instead of wood. The package itself looks far more attractive than other competitors too. I haven’t tried the product yet, but I’m looking forward to if it feels just as good as others I would buy again.

  • I bought two 12-packs of reel over 2 months ago and we still have a few rolls left over. It works great and we don't have to use it as much as we usually do with big-name brand rolls. It is strong and soft while getting the job done. I will be buying it again and recommending it to others as well.

  • Reel toilet paper is a really nice brand of toilet paper. It is strong but still soft enough it is package well and has a nice texture also.

  • First time ever trying anything outside of a normal conventional toilet paper. I love it! It’s super soft but not easily ripped, still very strong and easy to use. I’m definitely converted!

  • Very good. A little different texture and feel than the more traditional toilet paper but still makes you feel clean. I wish the rolls were bigger to last longer

  • This toilet paper is awesome! I was worried at first with it being bamboo but it’s super soft and feels great. I love that this more eco friendly than regular toilet paper. Definitely give it a try

  • Very nice packaging. Natural product made from bamboo, no toxins like regular toilet paper. Not as thick as competitors but it does the job.

  • One of the better bamboo toilet papers I have used!

    Verified purchase

  • I absolutely loved this toilet paper. It is harder(stronger) than others, and I feel that made it better for me to use and it would last longer because I could use less. I did not mind the texture. I would 100% buy this product again.

  • I was a bit skeptical upon purchase. After all, most of us assume that softer is better, and when I think bamboo I don't necessarily equate that to soft. I was pleasantly surprised with the texture, feel and durability. I appreciate the sustainability of the brand and felt it was a small step in helping to secure our resources. Overall not much different than the brand I typically purchase, price point included. Would purchase again in the future.

  • Underwhelmed with this fancy looking toilet paper. Was not soft at all. I was expecting something compared to Charmins but was met with disappointment. It is also pricey for what it is.

  • Toilet paper is strong enough but also soft. Don't require to use so much paper. I like the fact my stock will last longer. I also like the fact this brand uses bamboo instead of trees.

  • Reasonable soft but not very thick. I appreciate the sustainability aspects and the idea that there aren’t dyes or other contaminants.

  • I love the packaging, the paper isn’t too rough on the bottom, I would love it more if it was a little softer, very affordable.

  • Much sturdier then expected it to be

  • Does the job well. No complaints here. I just wished it wasn't so expensive.

  • Reel toilet paper has become my favorite! I like that it doesn’t leave any residue, doesn’t break easily, and that it is thick. It is absorbent and I don’t have to use so much to properly wipe. It is a bit expensive, but I do think that it’s worth the price.

    Verified purchase

  • The overall experience was great, it’s a high quality product that felt sturdy and soft at the same time. Lasts a decent amount and overall my favorite toilet paper to use.
