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 recently tried Reel Bamboo Toilet Paper, and I couldn’t be happier! As someone who cares deeply about the environment, I appreciate that Reel is committed to sustainability. Their toilet paper is made from 100% tree-free bamboo fibers, which means no trees are harmed in the process. Plus, the packaging is plastic-free, recyclable, and compostable - talk about a win for the environment! Reel strikes the perfect balance between softness and strength. The 3-ply sheets are gentle on the skin, making it ideal for sensitive areas. Yet, they hold up well during use, so you don’t sacrifice quality. Living in an older home with a septic system, I’m always cautious about what I flush. Reel’s bamboo toilet paper is septic-safe, which eases my mind. Their paper is free of dyes, inks, and harmful chemicals. It’s a relief to know that I’m not exposing my family to unnecessary toxins. Using Reel feels like a small act of kindness toward the planet. It’s a simple switch from regular toilet paper, but it has a big impact!

  • Boxes were kind of ripped at target but I did find some untouched ones. Texture is different definitely not like cottonelle. I would buy again for a cheaper price.

  • I appreciate how environmentally conscious this product is but I will be honest that it isn’t the softest. I still think it is a good product though.

  • This toilet paper isn’t bad. However, comparing it to the Cottonelle ultra comfort we usually buy the reel paper is noticeably less soft and feels thinner than the cottonelle. It says 3-ply but it feels like 2-ply, it's still really strong, you're not gonna be ripping through it, but I feel like other brands do 3-ply better. I would buy again but only if it were on sale.

  • This toilet paper surprised me. I am on a mission to swap out some products in my home for a more planet friendly option and for 3 ply this is great. It’s not super soft but gets the job done.

  • I loved this tp! It was soft but still durable, and I loved its eco-friendly design and packaging. I will say the price point and size of each roll is a deterrent, but I understand that most of the cost is in its production using environmentally friendly materials.
