The Top Line: Potentially a buy!

The Cheeky Panda’s bamboo toilet paper is the most cost effective option we have tried so far — and we have tried many (read all about it in our Big Bamboo Toilet Paper Roundup Review) , but the size of roll leaves a bit to be desired. As with most bamboo toilet paper options, it’s also not the softest — but if you want bamboo TP at a great price, The Cheeky Panda is a solid option!

The Breakdown:

• Cost & Products: $7.73 for 9 rolls

• How ‘Clean’ Is This? 100% biodegradable

• Packaging: Came in paper packaging, no plastic

• Purchasing & Shipping: We purchased on Amazon

• What’s Your Impact? No plastic packaging (recyclable cardboard boxes) that usually comes standard with store-bought toilet paper. The paper itself is made from Bamboo, which can grow 3ft in just 24 hours — it can be harvested once a year and doesn’t need to be replanted. It also uses 30% less water than hardwood trees, gives out 35% more oxygen than trees — an acre of bamboo can fix approximately 25 metric tons of atmospheric CO2 per year.

The Efficacy

Overall, The Cheeky Panda’s bamboo toilet paper worked just fine. Nothing to write home about, but it got the job done:

• Not super soft — but most bamboo toilet papers aren’t soft :(

• The roll is on the smaller side, similar in size to No. 2 and Silk n’ Soft bamboo toilet paper

The Cost

We compared The Cheeky Panda Bamboo Toilet Paper with a number of other popular bamboo TP brands — Who Gives a Crap, Go No. 2, Reel and more:

✔ Bamboo significantly more sustainable than paper paper towels

✔ Easy on septic tanks

The Bad:

✗ The rolls are on the small side - similar in size with No. 2 and Silk n’ Soft (picture above)

✗ Not very soft or thick
