The Cheeky Panda Bamboo Toilet Roll Tissue Paper 9 Rolls 3ply - Sustainable, Skin Friendly, Soft, Super Absorbent

Cheeky Panda bamboo toilet paper is perhaps not quite a soft as the luxury wood-based quilted sort, if your rear end is pampered to that extent, but it is little different in feel to most well known products and does seem to be quite a bit stronger.The main difference seems to be size. The bamboo roll is slightly smaller diameter than say, an Andrex roll, which according to the seller, is because of differences in manufacture which means the bamboo sheets are not left coated with paper dust. Despite the difference in size the number of sheets, 180 three-ply, is similar to wood based products.I am not an expert on toilet paper manufacture but the claim that the different methods means bamboo paper will leave less dust in the toilet or bathroom does seem to be true as the fine film that used to quickly appear is now absent.We have been using Cheeky Panda for a few months now and in use as toilet paper there is no noticeable difference in practice between bamboo and wood based paper. Bamboo paper is strong, soft, absorbent and does everything you would expect of a quality loo roll.Less chemicals are used in manufacture so there should be less chance of any allergic reaction while bamboo is naturally anti-bacterial and anti-fungal. Bamboo needs no fertilizer or pest control and is much faster growing than wood, so Cheeky Monkey has plenty of green credentials going for it. It does have one drawback though - it is more expensive.

So I was quite skeptical about this product as the reviews were very mixed.Firstly due to amazon prime same day delivery, I got it super speedy, which is why I decided to give this toilet paper a go, as it was one of the few available for prime.10.11.2017 - This bamboo toilet paper is lovely. The rolls do look small in comparison to Andrew and other brands, but there is no less paper on the rolls. The difference is, with this toilet roll you squeeze it and there’s no give, it doesn’t compact down as it is already tightly compacted, so it is more condensed therefore saves on packaging as the package is smaller to wrap. The paper is definitely softer than andrex (I actually prefer Tesco’s own brand to Andrex as it’s softer). It does break up just as easily as any other tissue paper and tears in all directions. So perhaps it has been much modified and improved since previous reviews or they were just unlucky with a dodgy batch. The cardboard tube in the centre of roll is thick and strong and I guess that’s how they manage to pack the tissue so nice and tight.As previously mentioned there is no fibres on tearing which is great, it doesn’t smell of anything and there was problem with wastage due to the roll being glued. I don’t think this roll was glued but being careful to unpick the seam was all that was needed and no wastage.I hope that everyone that buys this product has the same experience I have has.Also I did a quick google search on bamboo and it looks like although it can be grown in England, it doesn’t thrive here or grow very well at all, so perhaps that’s why it’s grown in China.I shall be ordering again. Just wish it wasn’t so pricy but so far seems to be lasting longer than the Cushelle we had before.

This is an excellent product.I don't know how I could go back to normal toilet tissue. There is no dust when you tear it and it feels substantial, but at the same time, soft and kind to skin. That's important to me because I often use toilet tissue for my nose and face. I also am used to wiping my 3 year old grandson's nose. Price is also good because the product compares well to prices of leading brands. It's good value though because I find I use less because it is so substantial. It's also so much better for the environment and I think that is important. It's easy to forget the damage to the planet that can be caused through our tissue and waste products. Delivered quickly too and nicely packaged. Try it once and you will be hooked. It seems strange to get hung up about toilet tissue but The Cheeky Panda has hooked me.

I have been trying recently to become more zero waste and had found toilet tissue difficult. This appealed to me because the bamboo is sustainable and in my opinion, better than chopping down virgin trees. The paper is strong and soft. I also like that the clear plastic encasing the rolls is recyclable. However, my only issue is the plastic Amazon packaging that the item comes in - which unfortunately as far as I am aware has to go straight to landfill. I wonder if there is any plan to change this as it may mean I have to use an alternative retailer...

This product seems to have received quite mixed reviews, which I can't understand really.Yes, it is definitely more expensive than other brands out there, but then I find this is more than offset by the fact that I use so much less of it! The paper is far stronger and thicker than the vast majority I have used in the past in a quest to find the strongest type. It's even better than the quilted ones!I know someone here posted a size comparison of a Cheeky Panda role against an Andrex, but when the paper on the latter is only loosely wrapped around the role AND is quilted, well then it is always going to look like a bigger role. I believe there are just about the same number of sheets on this as there are on most other roles.In terms of absorbancy, it is far, far stronger than other toilet paper, where I have had to use several sheets to get the same amount of absorbancy as less than half the amount for a Cheeky Panda roll.And of course, I love the fact that it is made from sustainable unbleached bamboo. Ideally, it would be harvested in the UK, but at least we aren't cutting down trees to produce it. Another reviewer referred to the Chinese government's appalling record on human rights, but I say don't punish the ordinary working men and women who work the production lines.
