Best Eco-Friendly Toilet Paper Brands

ORIGINAL POST

I'd like to use a more environmentally-friendly toilet paper, but it needs to be strong enough to not fall apart when it's wet. We've cut down on toilet paper use generally with a bidet, but Seventh Generation shreds when wet and leaves little bits behind. Any recommendations?

My compromise with the bidet has been to buy the expensive fluffy Charmin paper. I used cheap simply toilet paper for years and it really doesn’t do the trick for drying off.

A more environmentally sensitive option would probably be to move to family cloth/rags, which is less gross than it sounds when you’re using a bidet. But I still haven’t been able to get over the ick factor. I know it’s not much different than drying off with a towel after a shower. But with a shower, I do the full soap and scrub, which just doesn’t happen with the bidet.

Yeah Charmin Ultra Strong is the best I've tried...I wish they'd come up with a way to make it with recycled paper.

Charmin uses bleach to whiten its TP. Bleach is bad enough, but to me, using it for one-time use as bumwipe is extra unfortunate. Give bamboo TP a try - it's very strong and absorbent.

Seconding Reel, that's what I use. It's strong stuff and not too linty. I like that it comes in a cardboard box that can be recycled instead of the normal plastic wrap most toilet paper comes in. The rolls are individually wrapped in paper as well. Maybe not truly zero waste, but it's definitely much better than most toilet paper packaging.

Yeah if you're with a bidet and not using much, just splurge and get what works. And you can dry off with towels if you're confident that the situation is handled and you're only drying water. I don't personally have such skill with the bidet to trust that, my friend who does that has the water pressure that'll blast their hair off your butt.

Who gives a Crap is pretty strong and all, it's just too expensive for me these days

PLUSH Toilet Paper that IS NOT Who Gives A Crap? (US-based)

Posted by TsarinaOfHearts · in r/ZeroWaste · 4 months ago

Everyone else in my house will only tolerate the very plush, premium, top of the line, nicest type of Charmin toilet paper. If the nicest Charmin is a 10, Who Gives A Crap--the virgin bamboo option--is maybe, maybe a 3 to them at best.

I know I'm not going to get a 10 here, but are there any low/zero waste brand you can recommend that will get me to a 7 or 8? I will even take brands that come in plastic packaging but might otherwise be sustainable (see next sentence).

I have the NRDC most environmentally friendly list and yes, I could just go down the list and try them all, but I started doing that and it's mostly been a frustrating trial and error process. I was hoping folks had some other brands they could share.

And even if we get a bidet, we still need TP - we will not be using reusable cloths to wipe, period.

Reel bamboo toilet paper is good. It's not as posh as Charmin, but it's a lot better than any of the other bamboo and recycled toilet papers we're tried. It comes in cardboard boxes (which make excellent storage boxes for up to 17 pint-size canning jars) without any plastic packaging.

Source: I may or may not know a guy.

So... the majority of the Store brands labeled "compare to AS or QN or the Bears" means they are very close to those name brands in lab testing - thickness, strength, softness, liquid absorption, sheet size, etc. Different raw pulp (new vs recycled) paper, embossing pattern, and packaging are the main differences aside from the obvious name brand marketing and subsequent higher cost. Some companies fluff up the finished product diameter without increasing the sheet count. The name brands might run slightly more consistent "quality" but any production line can run a couple shifts before an issue is noticed and corrected. Of course this info is for educational purposes and is in no way meant to influence any consumers' final decision at the store. Everyone likes a certain type of feel when they use their paper, but you can try them out. Hopefully it helps.

How does unbleached toilet paper compare to similar products?

Posted by No-Subject-5191 · in r/ZeroWaste · 1 month ago

With the issues of climate change and environmental pollution in our world today, I am beginning to make a conscious effort to contribute my quota in protecting the environment.

I am doing this by deciding to use unbleached toilet paper. Unbleached toilet papers skip the bleaching process that turns it white. Chemicals are used in the process of bleaching, which results in the release of harmful substances into the environment.

I know my decision might have little or no significant impact on the environment. But toilet paper is something we use every day, and making this decision will definitely have an amazing compound effect. I have sourced a month’s supply of unbleached toilet paper from online marketplaces like Alibaba or Amazon.

I know these toilet papers maintain a natural colour, which is brown because they don’t pass through the bleaching process. Additionally, due to the non-bleaching, it’s safer for the environment. It is safer for the body as well by reducing exposure to harmful chemicals.

Do these make unbleached toilet paper safer than other similar products, such as the bamboo toilet paper? I have also heard of recycled toilet paper, and I don’t know how that works.

However, I am trying to consider and compare their mode of processing to understand their amount of impact on the environment. Please, if you have any insight, kindly share.

I use TP that is unbleached and made from 100% recycled paper pulp, or sometimes a bamboo-based brand. It's perfectly functional and not necessarily brown or gray. Depends on what pulp is used.

Bleach is a poison. It should be kept out of the water table and only used when needed. I can't think of a lower priority in the world than using bleach to make TP more aesthetically pleasing.

So go for it! Let's make these products the standard. And I'd just add that if you can find a local retailer, it's always a good idea not to contribute to the Amazon economy if you can avoid it.

I realized the rawness I was experiencing (eg when having a cold and wiping nose often) wasn't from the wiping, it was the bleach. I use one ply bleach free and its so soft, unlike standard 1 ply

Disclaimer though I'm allergic to bleach (now) along with many other things

There is no major difference that I've noticed except the brands of recycled TP I get are softer than bleached TP and don't poison your privates. Just don't buy anything from Amazon. Most grocery stores carry recycled unbleached TP. You just have to look between the name brands cause they normally have smaller displays than the bigger brands. If not I believe Grove Co. Also sells TP.

Jesus bamboo and unbleached toilet paper is so expensive. I'm so glad I learned how to make toilet paper during quarantine. Bamboo paper takes several extra wasteful steps to make and uses harsher chemicals than just bleach like sodium hydroxide and lye. You also need use more water to make bamboo paper.

If you know how viscose is made, that's pretty much what bamboo toilet paper is. Chemically broken down bamboo.

If you have a bidet, try making your own toilet paper sheets. If you grow okra, then you can turn any woody plant material into paper, even grass and corncobs. The slime from okra is a natural binder (potato skins work too in a pinch). Just blend all that food waste with paper from the shredder bin and you got good paper slurry. If you make seed milk, that leftover pulp can be tossed into your paper making slurry and you'll have toilet paper qualities.

I'm surprised no one has suggested a bidet yet. Quite awhile ago a redditt post asked what was the best use of Amazon gift cards, and as I recall the top comments were electric kettle, bidet, and ODI scanner. A bidet kit from an online retailer will add one to your toilet for a small cost, and save lots of toilet paper (just drying yourself, actually).

I was always under the impression that converting bamboo from hard to soft products caused environmental harm. I don’t have the brain to google if that is the case or still the case.

Textiles Since the fibers of bamboo are very short (less than 3 mm or 1⁄8 in), they are not usually transformed into yarn by a natural process. The usual process by which textiles labeled as being made of bamboo are produced uses only rayon made from the fibers with heavy employment of chemicals. To accomplish this, the fibers are broken down with chemicals and extruded through mechanical spinnerets; the chemicals include lye, carbon disulfide, and strong acids. Retailers have sold both end products as "bamboo fabric" to cash in on bamboo's current ecofriendly cachet. The Canadian Competition Bureau and the US Federal Trade Commission, as of mid-2009, are cracking down on the practice of labeling bamboo rayon as natural bamboo fabric. Under the guidelines of both agencies, these products must be labeled as rayon with the optional qualifier "from bamboo". Wikipedia

Trump Launches New Toilet Paper Line: 'Top Secret Soft™' Made From Bathroom Documents

Posted by Combat_Commo · in r/onionheadlines · 9 months ago

In a move blending innovation with alleged treason, Donald Trump has announced the launch of Top Secret Soft™, a luxury toilet paper line crafted from the classified documents he famously stored in his Mar-a-Lago bathroom.

"It’s the softest paper you’ll ever use—presidentially endorsed and confidentially smooth," Trump declared at the product unveiling. Marketed as “Patriot-grade wiping,” each roll features redacted text and a golden Trump logo.

While the former president touts the line as “recycling at its finest,” critics argue that shredding classified material into 2-ply is a new low. Trump insists, “Nobody knows sensitive materials better than me, and now you can use them better than anyone!”

For those of you who still buy paper towels and toilet paper what brand do you still find is good enough?

Posted by --2021-- · in r/Frugal · 2 years ago

Just ran out of both and it seems that quality has gone down again since end of last year (stocked up before that). The brands I purchased no longer seem to be good. Whatever I look a seems to have complaints.

Used to get bounty paper towels, it seems like the quality has gone down and the prices have gone up. I used them in produce containers to keep veggies and salad dry so they last longer, and sometimes for cleaning up the grosser messes. Mostly use rags though.

I used to get kirkland TP when I had a costco membership. I switched to another brand from a local drugstore, which I stopped using after getting utis out of the blue and had trouble getting rid of them till i switched. Later I got Target Up & UP and that was ok for a bit, till the last batch, which has been pretty rough.

We live in a rental that has a tankless toilet, doesn't seem like anything will work with it. I heard that travel bidets aren't that great either, but I will try one and see if I can at least reduce toilet paper.

If you don't mind my asking (granted I know it's a year old post), is that by chance the brand called Boulder?

I second this. The price is great and they are good quality. Nice and thick.

I would pass on the toilet paper. I too thought I wasn’t picky but the toilet paper proved me wrong.

I discovered how picky I was about toilet paper back in 2020 when I had to buy what was available, now I make sure to never be low on the good stuff!

Is Costco Kirkland brand considered the good stuff? That’s what I use and I like.

Agree, do not get the TP. A bad time will be had by all.

Their paper plates are great for the price. I buy them exclusively and get annoyed when they are out!

The green Bounty comparable paper towel is definitely good, maybe not as good at Bounty but for the price savings it's worth it. The blue one is def not good.

The toilet paper for me is fine. I get the Angel Soft comparable, but if you like Charmin they also have a Charmin comparable that I got once that was really good. Better than I expected.

Since you’re a Charmin/Bounty buyer, P&G often has a rebate where if you buy $50, you get $15 prepaid Visa card back. I’m picky too and it’s made it a little more affordable. https://www.pggoodeveryday.com/rebates/

The Boulder paper towels are comparable to Bounty. I buy the Willow 2-ply, the big 30pk. No complaints.
