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.

  • I like these toilet paper since it’s good for the environment. It is tougher than the brand I normally use. But it doesn’t bother me that much.

  • Reel was easy to find in stores, and holds up well compared to other name brand toilet paper. I like that the inner roll is made of a sturdy paper roll.

  • I have tried other bamboo toilet paper and so far this has been the best one so far. It is firm, but soft enough. The only issue I have is that it is on the pricey side.

  • Very thin but very absorbent. Not soft but the textures is good. I usually use cottonelle and will use Scott comfort as a runner up but I really like this kind ! But the price is way way way too high. I would only buy it if it was on promotion, but it’a definitely on my top 3 list now.

  • The package by itself is already telling me this brand cares about nature. the product's softness is not so high as some others brands but it's usable for adults for sure. The price is a little bit too high if not on sale or bought with a coupon.

  • I love the brand’s mission however I do think the price is high for toilet paper.

  • The texture of the paper is very hard and scratchy, and the price is pretty high. You do get a lot of product in the box, but I probably wouldn’t go out of my way to buy this brand.

  • Love this TP! It's pretty soft and feels very luxe/high-quality. Not thin at all. Definitely expensive, but I love the environmental aspect.

  • Love the concept of the toilet paper to promote sustainability. I am very sensitive, and this toilet paper seems to be more on the rough side so it doesn't work for me but could for others!

  • I love the purpose behind it. It’s a nice toilet paper that gets the job done. Not too spendy either for future purchases.

  • I love that this toilet paper is bamboo. It’s strong and has a good texture. Safe for the pipes in my older home. I do wish it was a softer texture but overall it’s great

  • Love the mission - sustainability. When you consider the the brand's mission and the quality of the product, I want to support the brand. I think I can go without the wrapper of each roll to save some paper waste. It's comparable to leading 2-ply toilet paper brands out there so give it a try.

  • This was my first time trying bamboo toilet paper and I was surprised at how soft it was. I will be using reel toilet paper more often.

  • I really do like this product. I like that it’s a sustainable product for the environment and it is still a good material to use in the restroom. It’s not too thin and it doesn’t break apart too quickly, so I will be purchasing again.

  • Loved the quality and I support black owned businesses. I appreciate the fact that it’s a bamboo base so I feel less guilty of wiping needs and a more sustainable base source.

  • Environmentally friendly! I love a product that is trying to be good for the environment. I knew I had to try this one when I read what they were making tp out of. More companies should try to be environmentally responsible! As for the tp itself, it did its job, which is all I could really ask of it!

  • I appreciate the elegant design of the packaging. The tissue itself boasts a remarkable combination of softness and durability, distinguishing it from other brands. Its residue-free nature sets it apart, aligning perfectly with the quality standards of REEL toilet tissue. I believe individuals with an affinity for premium, environmentally-conscious products, would find great value in this item.
