Testing: Bamboo Bobbi

Affordable, tree-free toilet paper...

Bamboo Bobbi create 100% sustainable bamboo toilet roll.

“My mission with Bamboo Bobbi was to allow as many families and households the chance to choose ethical products by making them as affordable as possible. But still making a high quality, good value toilet paper.” Andrew Cameron, MD

About Bamboo Bobbi

Bamboo Bobbi is a company that produces bamboo toilet paper that they believe to be the least environmentally impactful paper you can buy.

The rolls they create are made from 100% sustainable, FSC traceable, hand-cut bamboo and are completely tree-free! The bamboo paper is naturally hypoallergenic and soft meaning it's kind to your skin (more specifically your bum!) and the planet.


What is FSC?

FSC stands for 'Forest Certification' and simply put means that the bamboo that Bamboo Bobbi use comes from a sustainable forest.

A FSC certification ensures biodiversity and the preservation of habitats and biotopes typical of forests. It also safeguards the rights of people working in forests and ensures that forests can continue to be used for recreational purposes.


About the Paper

Reasons these loo rolls are more sustainable:

  • They are natural

  • Made from hand-cut bamboo

  • Unbleached

  • Dust and Chemical Free

  • Free from inks and dyes

  • Free from fragrance and scents

  • No unnecessary wrapping

  • 100% plastic free

  • Biodegradable

Each roll has 200 sheets which is around the average number of sheets on a standard toilet paper roll meaning it lasts just as long as its competitors.


Why Bamboo?

Using bamboo as a raw material is suggested to be less environmentally damaging than traditional toilet paper that is made using virgin forest.

My Experience

Bamboo Bobbi was kind enough to send me a pack of toilet rolls to test and review!

The first thing that stands out about this paper is obviously its colour which I'm a big fan of. Unlike other common bleached loo rolls these ones look so natural in my bathroom and are often a great conversation starter for visitors (now that we are allowed to visit each other).

They rolls work really well, are super soft and last just as long as a standard loo roll and the quality is fantastic. The paper also features a cute little panda which is just adorable!

I will say that I wish they had the option to order smaller quantities as I live in a cottage so have very little storage space!
