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.

  • The tissue is fine. It probably will not be what you’re used too but it is efficient. I love the fact that it is sustainable so that’s good for our planet. The rolls are thick so you’re getting your money worth! It’s very strong and solid! I also love the packaging! Top tier!

  • It’s the second time I purchase this toilet paper brand and I love it! The Reel toilet paper is soft and comfortable to use. I also love that it has no chemicals and that it can be a little cheaper. I have very sensitive skin and this toilet paper causes zero irritation. Will be buying it again!

  • It is high quality toilet paper! It is not the softest , but it’s okay! I like it because they use bamboo and it’s eco friendly:)

  • I have always bought some kind of floofy, scented toilet paper without a second thought. A friend of mine had tried Reel and loved it, so I decided to give it a go. I'm on my 5th box right now because I absolutely love it! It's got bamboo in it so it's strong, but it doesn't feel rough. Buying it makes me feel like I'm doing something better for the environment, so it is now a staple in my home.

  • I was surprised I loved this toilet paper! I had never tried bamboo toilet paper before but it was so soft. I love their sustainability mission as well!

  • Love the packaging. The paper is not as soft as some other bamboo brands but not rough either. I've tried 4 different bamboo bath tissues so far and they all tend to be less soft than regular paper bath tissues. That is fine with me though and I am not planning on switching back.

  • We used Reel toilet paper and found it to be absorbant and durable but it was rough to the touch. I like the packaging and that they are individually wrapped, but it wasn't as soft as I had hoped. Sustainability doesn't quite make up for it.

  • Simple and clean design. Reel bamboo paper is strong yet still soft for the bum. They were compact on the roll and you know its a good hefty product. Compared to other brands, it is loosely rolled where it looks like you are getting alot of product but not

  • I was too excited to try Reel and was curious of what it would feel like to my surprise I loved it was much softer than I expected. I will be telling my family and friends to give it a try.

  • I have a love and hate relationship with the individual packaging of each roll. I do like that I don’t need to store the whole box in my cabinet to keep the Reel clean, but I also feel like the packaging is a waste of resources for it being environmentally friendly paper. The Reel is not soft by any means, but it doesn’t leave anything behind after.

  • Great product! It is less dense and soft than, for example, Charmin, but it is also pleasant to the touch, does not tear, and absorbs well. Large packaging. I will buy more to contribute to the environment and save trees!

  • Like the packaging, simply but modern; also the product itself, it is made from 100% bamboo , 3-ply sheets, soft but sturdy. Strongly recommend it!

  • Wow, this paper isn't too soft compared to regular toilet paper but I love that is more durable and doesn't break easily. I also like that it doesn't leave any residue when wiping. I just wish that it would be a little more affordable, it is a but pricier than regular toilet paper so I will have to purchase this occasionally.

  • I felt nostalgic remembering the time I used this kind of textured toilet papers… I liked the paper strength and softness. If it’s too soft, it will make me use more paper avoiding the breakage during use. It looked thin when I first look at it. But it was perfect for me. Only down side is the price.

  • I was pleasantly surprised. This toilet paper was nothing like what I was expecting. My initial thought prior to trying it out was that it would be very rough and uncomfortable to the touch, however, that was not the case at all. It is definitely strong and durable yet It feels high-quality. It is hard to describe because I wouldn’t say it’s soft however, It feels good against the skin. I immediately compared it to the leading brand toilet paper that I use and I Definitely prefer REEL toilet paper now.

  • I love the marking which giving a cleaner wipe. Not for someone who prefers a soft tp. Its great thats it's biodegradable and helps the forest. Its on the expensive side.

  • Even though the price is a little high I absolutely think it’s so worth it. It is actually soft and it does not feel like those toilet papers that hurt you. Honestly I will buy this again. I found it really really good.

  • The environmentally friendly aspect of this toilet paper is commendable, as it is sturdy and does not release any dust when being used. While it falls within an acceptable softness range, some may find it slightly rough during use.

  • The presentation, the size and design are very good and cute.. I love that they are tree free and that it is different from everyone! Only the quality of the sheet makes me a little weak.
