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.

  • I love the intentions of the brand, but it falls short in terms of comfort. I feel safe using the Reel Toilet Paper because they are advertised free of ink, dyes, bpa, and plastic. In addition, they're solely made out of bamboo. While I'm not sure if the packaging was used from 100% bamboo, I loved that their packing had NO plastic! Each individual rolls of tp were wrapped in paper placed inside a cardboard box. I could tell the material was strong and didn't rip easily, which I appreciated as a mom of a baby who likes to try to rip everything. It also did not shed lint when torn from the roll. Now onto the criticism. I completely understood that they were made from bamboo, but I still expected the softness of a Charmin which was silly of me. Despite its 3-ply layers, it just didn't hit it outta the park for me when it came to the softness and thickness. However, it didn't feel like I was rubbing sandpaper down there in any means. It was fairly comfortable. Although the softness and comfort didn't compare to other leading brands of tps, I would buy it again knowing that I am using a product that's eco friendly, not hazardous to my body, and fairly comfortable to use. Overall, I'd buy them again if they're on sale.
