Been using Reel for a few months, now.... I agree with everything you mentioned!!!! Also, I noticed that the center roll is super sturdy and perfectly round (doesn't flatten at all)!!!!
Thanks for the detailed review, Kristen! I just bought some Caboo bamboo/sugarcane toilet paper (because it was the only thing available). I haven't tried it yet; I'm waiting to get through my current package of regular toilet paper. I was a little worried that the quality might be like 1950s-era Soviet Union toilet paper, but your reviews are assuaging those concerns. One thing I really like about the ordinary toilet paper I was getting, the Costco brand, is that their sheets are 4.5" x 4", which is above average and nicely shields your hand. But these days I'll take what I can get. If I may offer one minor suggestion: the other two things toilet paper is often used for* are blowing your nose and wiping your eyes after waking up in the morning; it would be nice to know if bamboo toilet paper is too rough or abrasive for either of those functions. * Okay, I guess we men also use it when we cut ourselves shaving--but for that we could make do with pretty much anything.
I know this is nearly a year old, but I'm a renter too. There are bidets that you screw in under the toilet seat. Had a friend tell me about this and I've never looked back. I still use paper to dry off afterwards, but my butt is cleaner and I use less paper.
iced fire I’ve actually installed the Tushy bidet attachment since making this video. And it works so well!! Even though I’m renter still, I went for it. Luckily we didn’t have any leaks and it went smoothly! I’m glad you had the same experience!! It’s definitely a game changer! 😊💚🌏 A bidet is more eco-friendly but I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea haha.
Trying to decide between Reel and Who gives a crap. I try to support companies with a cause. I would love to use Who gives a crap paper towels and tissues. Have you tried them yet?
I've been using Grove for a couple of years. Disclaimer: the shipping boexes are HUGE! I am looking to try this instead because the quality has changed with the Grove bamboo toilet paper. It's 3-ply has become quite thin and crumbly these days. I can no longer justify the cost.
I know it's not a type of bamboo toilet paper, but you should try cottonelle. Cottonelle even though it doesn't actually advertise it all of their toilet paper is recycled. You can actually find that brand just about anywhere. That's why I really like that brand.
@@StrollingThroughLife now the super soft ones do you use fresh tree pulp to make it soft, but when you find the normal version it's all recycled and doesn't use any tree pulp.
So excited for this series! I’m currently using the bamboo TP from Who Gives A Crap and I’m not a fan. It doesn’t tear neatly and it’s really rough on the tush. It’s sort of like wiping with paper towels. I really wanted to like them because I love their mission, but it’s not working for me. Plus, it’s so expensive. Like you, I have a whole box to go through. 😩 I would like a review on Bippy, No 2, and HelloTushy (bidet). Thanks for sharing your opinions! 💚 @minimalwastelifestyle
My Nguyen Yay! I’m so glad! Thanks for letting me know you wanted to see this! That’s such a bummer. I’ll definitely keep those all in mind! 😊 Thanks for watching!
I’d love to see a companion vs Who Gives a Crap bamboo- I’m on my second box of it and like it as a plastic free sustainable option but wish it was softer!
Chiming in to say I have a HelloTushy bidet attachment, as an earth warrior I SHOULD be using it but like many modern humans it's a learning curve. So I primarily use toilet paper. I just ordered REEL so I can reduce my waste even more on plastic-wrapped albeit recycled-TP. The high price tag of REEL will encourage me to use my bidet more often!
Yeah, it seems overpriced considering they don't pay much for packaging and stuff. Plus, it sounds like they don't even have to worry about replanting and stuff like that. Pretty much a never ending supply of the resources needed to make it. They also don't have to give the stores a cut of the profit. They do pay more for shipping but considering all of the above would think their prices would still be lower, not 20 to 30% higher.
I think bamboo tp in general went up in price. Unfortunately, another brand that I loved went out of business because their supplier's prices went up quite a bit :(
I've been using Reel for a few boxes worth now. I love it & my boyfriend loves it, which is the real test lol.
Nora West That’s great! Haha that definitely is the real test (or reel test 😜). Thanks for watching! 😊

I would have appreciated a rating on absorbency and cost effectiveness compared to regular commercial toilet paper brands but great review. Thank you!
okay matching your apartment and life with that sweater. and yes PLEASE who gives a crap bamboo! i love mine and i'd like to know what you think!
Miss Mary Lu haha I know... it’s a lot! 🙈 And sounds good! 😊
Here after Phillip DeFranco :D Good review!

Geovanni Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the detailed review, Kristen!

So, which brand is closest to the softness of Charmin? Trying to get away from it but hubby likes it.
Would love other paper product reviews! Paper towels, tissue paper etc.

I haven’t tried their paper towels or tissues. I’ve only tried their toilet paper. Sorry! My favorite is Reel!
Thank you! I emailed Reel and they said they will be coming out with paper towels soon!

Great video! Looking to make the switch to bamboo
Kareema After Addiction Thanks! Awesome!! 😊
Love this as a series. I was going to consider The Who gives a crap paper but now I’ll look at Reel!
A C Thanks! Let me know what you think, if you end up trying it! 😊
Haven’t even watched the video yet but already hitting subscribe cause your adorable and really nice sounding
Glad to have you here.
Have you tried Reel??
Good video.
Please review the Skinkissed virgin bamboo toilet paper. By far the best on the market.
Thanks! And thanks for the recommendation! I haven't heard of them! I'll have to check them out!
The subscription price is the same as the one time price. Where did you get your numbers?
natalie guerrero Unfortunately, their prices have changed since I first uploaded this. Now they are the same price.
Have you tried Grove or any of the seedling paper products? If not, can you? I’d love a review
I haven’t yet! But they’re on my list! Thanks for watching! 😊
@@StrollingThroughLife great! Can’t wait!
Have you tried Caboo and Nootrees?
Alyssa English No, I haven’t. I’ve just been trying toilet paper that’s wrapped in paper. I’m trying to avoid plastic. 😊
Coulld you make a review on the natural fresh herb toothpasye from Korea. It's made with banboo salt
Thanks for the suggestion! I have a huge list of products to review so I can't make any guarantees right now. Thanks so much for watching!! 😊
Have you reviewed biodegradable bamboo baby wipes?
Is it still bleached?
Have you used Better Way yet?
I have not! Have you tried them?
I know it's not a type of bamboo toilet paper, but you should try cottonelle. Cottonelle even though it doesn't actually advertise it all of their toilet paper is recycled. You can actually find that brand just about anywhere. That's why I really like that brand.
Rabbit Food Fitness Oh, wow. I didn’t know that! Thanks for the suggestion! 😊
@@StrollingThroughLife now the super soft ones do you use fresh tree pulp to make it soft, but when you find the normal version it's all recycled and doesn't use any tree pulp.
Rabbit Food Fitness Good to know! Thanks! I’ll definitely look more into it! 😊👍

this so helpful
Arthur Amazons Thanks! I’m glad it is!
only toilet paper in the shop was bamboo. not sure if its any good.
J o n a t h a n A lot of bamboo toilet paper does the job! 😊👍
Have you reviewed public goods?
I haven't yet.
19.99 for 24 rolls wasn't a bad price. Nowadays it's more like $35 dollars... almost double the price it used to be

Wow! The price for the subscription has doubled since you did this review. I can't believe they did that. Kinda sucks.
