Toilet Paper Comparison: Who Gives a Crap vs. Reel

I've been experimenting with several bamboo toilet paper brands, and these two were worth repurchasing. Most eco-friendly toilet paper you can find at organic grocery stores like Erewhon or Whole Foods turned out to be disappointing, but Reel's Bamboo Toilet Paper and Who Gives a Crap's Premium 100% Bamboo Toilet Paper far exceeded my expectations. 



First, Who Gives a Crap's Premium TP. 

There are 2 types of toilet paper available from Who Gives a Crap - 100% Recycled Toilet Paper and Premium 100% Bamboo Toilet Paper. 

The 100% Recycled Toilet Paper costs $38 for 24 rolls ($1.58/roll), and the Premium 100% Bamboo Toilet Paper costs $44 for 24 rolls ($1.83/roll). 



I've tried both toilet papers from Who Gives a Crap, and I honestly can't recommend the 100% Recycled Toilet Paper. The sheets felt flimsy and quite coarse. The Premium 100% Bamboo Toilet Paper, however, was amazing. 



The 3-ply bamboo toilet paper is biodegradable and made of 100% renewable and sustainable bamboo. 



The toilet paper is so soft and absorbent. 



Each toilet paper roll is wrapped individually to keep it moisture-free and hygienic. Who Gives a Crap claims that wrapping 6 rolls together takes about the same amount of paper as it needs to use thicker paper to prevent it from ripping. Personally, I like these individually wrapped rolls. 



Next, on to Reel's Bamboo Toilet Paper. 



The toilet paper costs $36.99 for 24 rolls ($1.54 per roll). It is cheaper than Who Gives a Crap, so if you're interested in extra savings, this could be an option for you. 



Reel's toilet paper is also plastic-free and made of 100% bamboo. 



The sheets are strong and durable, so my hands don't rip through. 



The sheets are also 3-ply for comfort and softness. 



These are also individually wrapped. 



So which one do I recommend? 



Honestly, I could go with either and be happy. But I would go with the Premium 100% Bamboo Toilet Paper from Who Gives a Crap. It feels more absorbent and softer. I know it's not really the fairest comparison because I'm comparing the premium line to regular toilet paper (Reel doesn't have a "premium" toilet paper), but still.
