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 really enjoy Reel's TP. It's not too rough, and I don't have to worry about any additives. However, I find it to be a bit expensive, even for bamboo toilet paper. So it's something I'll only buy every now and then.

  • This is my favorite toilet paper - it is the only brand that I buy for my family. An added bonus is that the tubes are high quality and great for craft projects with the kids!

  • Question - is Reel actually more sustainable?

    I guess this applies to any bamboo toilet paper - but is bamboo toilet paper actually more sustainable than paper toilet paper? I’m seeing lots of brands using recycled paper to make their toilet paper - surely this is more sustainable than using bamboo? 🎋🧻

  • Was impressed by Reel! The paper is soft but also sturdy and durable. I liked that there was no plastic in the packaging, however I don't know if I'll go out of my way to purchase Reel when I can buy bulk TP at Costco.

  • I love that it's shipped right to my house! The quality of the paper is also great and they look nice when guests come to visit and take out a new roll.

    I truly think it's great as-is.

  • I really love the idea behind this... plus it makes buying toilet paper fun! My only complaint is that it is not super soft like you may be used to, it's kind of rough and more like a paper towel... but still gets the job done!

  • Its okay but not our favorite. It dissolves quickly when it gets wet. we do appreciate being as eco friendly as possible. its available on amazon which makes it convenient to order and manage subscription

  • Overall great toilet paper. I love the brands mission and think the toilet paper is great quality. Only thing is that it is a tad too expensive for me to purchase without a coupon or rebate so it is not a routine purchase for me.

  • I ordered this from Amazon when I wanted to make the switch to bamboo based paper products. I was worried when I made the switch that it wouldn’t be as soft as normal TP, but I have been pleasantly surprised and have reordered.

  • Never would I have thought I'd be reviewing toilet paper, but I just couldn't resist sharing about this brand! They're amazing and I've been in love with them since they were founded. The rolls are made sustainably and the subscription is wonderfully easy to manage.

  • I was hesitant to try Reel toilet paper, but I have been pleasantly surprised. So far I have been loving it. It's soft and I love the mission of the brand. Will definitely be buying it again!

  • A great eco friendly alternative to traditional toilet paper. My family did not notice any significant difference than big box brands in feel. Nice packaging.

  • It gets the job done, but it's definitely not the softest bamboo toilet paper I've used. I do like this is easily found in grocery stores though!
