Forums General Chit-Chat Bamboo toilet paper, guys

Voltie — she/her Posted 4 years ago ( 2020/03/13 22:43:20 )


In light of everything going on, one youtuber I watched mentioned Reel, a website that offers these monthly subs to receive packs of toilet paper, made of BAMBOO.
Maybe I live under a rock but I never heard of this. They advertise that it feels the same, but it obviously harms no trees in the process.

Thought I'd share, I felt mind blown here xD
Have any of you used bamboo toilet paper before? Or have you used Reel itself?


*edit
roflmaklfjsfj its sold out too, go figure hahahaha

I've heard of it. It's far better for the environment. It doesn't really feel any different either.

Another on the list of things to better my lifestyle with xD
When they go back in stock, I might try them out and see if anyone else who uses my bathroom notices lmao

Oh you should try that. I wonder if people would notice at all? I don't feel like I did when I tried it once but I don't buy the really soft charmin ultra or whatever. That stuff just falls apart for me and I hate it.

I normally buy 'normal' TP, but I ALWAYS buy recycled TP. There is no reason why we should just virgin paper to wipe ourselves.

This is true, if you ignore the fact that the Giant Panda's are running out of bamboo.

@amber lynne:
Are they really? I do feel like this deserves more research as to where the TP brands get their bamboo from exactly.

or we really should just use bidets lol

@Jolly: Oh, more research definitely.
But right out the gate? I'd say no, don't buy into that. Tree stuff can be recylced a lot easier than bamboo can - not even sure anything bamboo CAN be recycled, if I'm being honest.

And the Giant Pandas are actually at risk for a multitude of reasons, but bamboo is part of it.
They are losing their food source.

@Amber Lynne: That sucks. I was assuming that the bamboo they used was grown in the US and wasn't affecting that? I could be wrong though. I'm glad that you brought that up.

@Totalanimefan: I have no idea, that's the thing.
Without the information on that, you gotta keep in mind that it could be coming from anywhere.

But it's because of the whole bamboo thing I tend to avoid things that use unless I know it'ssourced from elsewhere, if that makes sense.

@Amber Lynne: Yeah it makes sense. I did only try that one once. I just buy 100% recycled TP and I have been for years <3 (Plus I have a bidet) I'm saving trees yo~

@amber lynne:
Thanks so much for the info! I would've thought that bamboo would be better for recycling and chopping less trees.
But it is very true that humans aren't the only ones to protect ^^;

@Amber Lynne: Thank you T_T
I feel like recycled TP is such a small step and yet almost no one does it. It's not that hard. I promise it costs less than the name brands XD
Also bidets are life changing. Everyone should have one. You feel way cleaner and they are God sends during that time of the month.

@Jolly: Honestly, I have no idea about the recyclability of bamboo ^ ^;;


@Totalanimefan: I actually really want one. Lol.
But I live in an apartment with a shitty landlrod, and it'd never happen here. XD

I was really excited until I saw the edit, why the hell is toilet paper the first thing to go when people think the world is ending? We've got 3 rolls left and nowhere to get anymore tf
