WHO MAKES THE BEST BAMBOO TOILET PAPER?!?! // The Final Overview

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Which bamboo toilet paper is your favorite? Now that I'm done with this series, which series should I start next? 😊

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Kapil Swarankar I wish! But I was thinking of testing out more sustainable/ zero waste products.

[@osheianac337]

sustainable bedding or bed sheets or mattresses

[@StrollingThroughLife]

osheiana c Oh that’s a good one! I might need to wait a little longer until I need some. That’s a great suggestion!

[@brontewcat]

I haven’t tried the others, but I am a big fan of WGAC, because they donate half their profits to build toilet, which saves lives. I would like to know more aboutat Reel too

[@corusscion]

You should also try the brand Caboo 🤍

[@umiinthecity4932]

I use reel. I choose them because they are, bamboo, black owned and they give back. I'm so happy they have come out with paper towels.

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Umi In The City Yay! They’re definitely one of my favorites!! Yes, that’s a great new option. Hoping to try it out soon!

[@rdm1702]

WGAC has a box of 24 rolls for $34, jsyk! They've also improved their Bamboo TP since this vid because I noticed their TP got softer than before. One of the things I love about them is that they donate 50% of their profits to build toilets around the world. I also love that they have limited edition wrappers & boxes every year for their Bamboo TP. They have one available right now called "Where's the Loo?" and my favourite from their past designs was the Play Edition because it was fun for the children in our house. I've read that they collaborate with a local artist to design these limited editions so that's a plus!

[@plantgurugangsta7299]

Dang u were ahead of the game during the toilet paper crisis of 2020! Nice! Lol👍

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Banana Fana Lol it was honestly perfect timing!

[@willowrain333]

I have reel and they just changed a bit and now is softer. So happy to have it when covid hit. I did not have to search for tp in the stores

[@StrollingThroughLife]

willowrain333 That’s great news! Having it delivered is soooo much easier. I’m so glad I didn’t have to worry at the beginning either

[@jessd3012]

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Jess D Thanks so much!! That means a lot! 😊

[@andrewmunson1613]

The timing of you uploading this was super serendipitous because I found it while looking for reviews on what bamboo paper to buy literally right now lol. I went with Reel. I used them before and once I saw their subscription price breakdown and that they still scored pretty good, it seemed like a no brainer. However, I did realize upon checkout that that price is only good for your first month. D':

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Andrew Munson Oh awesome! Reel is definitely a good one. I hope it works for you! 😊

[@AS-pp6ll]

One thing you didn't talk about but I think would be interesting is the content of the TP. For example, what do the companies say a about their bleaching processes. Otherwise, awesome video. Thank you!

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Andrea Thanks for watching! I should have talked about that. Thanks for the suggestion! 😊

[@angelatate6044]

My 4 teens and I are using Reel for first time and like what they stand for. We love the toilet paper and paper towels! They remind me of Costco Kirkland tp and pt texture. Each tp roll lasts comparable or longer to a mega roll from traditional brands. Also NO CLOGGED TOILETS since using Reel TP!

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Angela Tate That’s great to hear!! I’m so glad you’re liking them! Reel is one of my favorites. And that’s a huge plus that you think it’s comparable to Kirkland brand tp and pt! 😊🎉

[@SuZiKaT22]

Angela, could you please comment on whether you have found the Reel bamboo TP to be linty? I hate having tp stick to me and I can stand to give a little on softness if it doesn't disintegrate on me. I like it to break down, just not immediately on my skin. 🤷‍♀️

[@angelatate6044]

@@StrollingThroughLife The tp is not linty. A couple of my teens commented they liked that the tp didn't fall apart or leave anything stuck while using. I agree with them. I'm impressed and am on my second order! We ended up having clogged toilet once and that was due to my son using a weirdly large amount of tp. Clog was fixed very easy.

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Angela Tate That’s great to hear! I’m glad you’re liking them!!

[@mariahsimmonsbeyers1638]

The paper each company wraps the roll in is so cute - I feel like it'd be great to use as wrapping paper for small gifts. Do you think that would work?

[@StrollingThroughLife]

They all have great designs! It would be perfect for wrapping paper! 😊

[@IWillSayItLouder]

Sometimes that plastic tape is actually EcoEnclose biodegradable "plastic" tape. It'll breakdown in about 180 days naturally. I actually use it for my shipping boxes too :)

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Jordan Mohan Ah yes, Ecoenclose is awesome! That’s good to keep in mind! 😊

[@originsmaster8140]

Wow! This comparison was much more in-depth than I expected. Definitely going to try out No. 2 and see if I can switch my household over to that. Thank you for the great review.

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Thanks so much! Glad you liked it!!

[@celecha]

I got No. 2 and am disappointed on how quickly the rolls run out. They have fewer sheets per roll than normal (non bamboo) toilet paper :(

[@originsmaster8140]

@@celecha but the quality was surprisingly good. I find myself not needing to use as much as regular TP. But I did notice they’re smaller, yeah.

[@gamexii27]

I recently started using a bidet which is great tbh but I still use TP to dry everything up. So far all the ones I’ve used suck bc they just disintegrate with the water and leave a lot of residue. I recently went to an Airbnb and they had the WGAC TP and I just felt like it was the kind I needed! So finding out this video to compare bamboo tp is perfect for me 😌❤️

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Yay! A bidet is so great! That’s so cool the WGAC TP was at your Airbnb! I’m so glad you liked the video!! I hope this was helpful! 😊 Thanks for watching!!

[@stephaniepardo5242]

I used Naturolly for a year now. I really love their product and it feels amazing. So sad to see them go.

[@StrollingThroughLife]

It's so sad!! I wish they could stick around! Their TP was great!

Thank you for your guidance. I like to optimize every aspect of my life so I appreciate some good quantifiable analysis.

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Happy to help!

[@janetbeatrice9505]

Just saw the Reel tp review and wondered if you'd reviewed any more. Glad to see you've got a final review of a bunch here. Been considering a bidet, but the only way to get a decent one with warm water is to get one of the expensive full toilet seats. And even if you do that, you'll still need some tp. So I'm considering switching to bamboo if it isn't too hard on my wallet.

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Janet Beatrice Yay! I’m glad you found this video! Haha I have a whole series on bamboo toilet paper. 🙈 I have the Tushy bidet attachment and they do make a version that has hot water. But it’s definitely not as luxurious as a full proper bidet. It’s definitely a good idea to keep some toilet paper around just in case. I still have many rolls in my own place. That’s great! I’d love to hear what you think if you end of trying some!

[@janetbeatrice9505]

@@StrollingThroughLife Yes -and I know that you have to hook it up to your kitchen sink, which wouldn't work out in my case. I'm considering trying one of those travel bidets just so that I can try it out. There's a $10 one at Lowe's by a good company (Bondell? Blondell?). If I do try the bamboo tp, I'll be sure to let you know what I think (and also if I try one of the travel bidets). :-)

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

Tushy and Butt Buddy have "spa" bidets that give you the warm water setting and they vary in price. They're attachments and not a full blown toilet seat. Though I do want a TOTO eventually lol.

[@HappyTrailsWagnTails]

If I like cottonelle, which would be most comparable to softest and texture? FYI: I tried the w.g.a.c. recycled and I do NOT like the dots on the other side. Thanks!

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Happy Trails & Wag'n Tails That’s tough because I haven’t used Cottonelle in years and don’t quite remember the texture of it. I’d say Bippy and Reel are great ones to try. 😊

[@Athenia]

I've been using Who's Gives a Crap, but I have to say, I'm not sold on it. I just placed an order for No. 2 based on your review so I'm excited to try it!

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Athenia Great! I’d love to hear your thoughts on it when you try it! 😊

[@Athenia]

@@StrollingThroughLife Just started my first roll! No. 2 is definitely better than Who's Gives a Crap! I'm excited to try a few more, but I wonder if I will keep up with it because they aren't as soft as virgin paper. We'll see! I love the pretty wrapping paper tho! LOL

I ordered no2 toilet paper based on your review and the rolls are significantly smaller now. I have Reel toilet paper and the no2 rolls are tiny compared to that.

No2 doesn't seem like the value it was when you got it.
