Cheeky Panda Bamboo Toilet Paper

Toilet paper is something we use every day, and it’s always in close contact with sensitive areas, which is why I pay attention to the fiber source and how it’s processed. For this category, I focus on avoiding unnecessary additives and choosing products with clear, simple material disclosure.

What I typically avoid

When I’m choosing toilet paper, I tend to skip options made with or treated with:

  • Added fragrances, lotions, or conditioners

  • Chlorine bleaching or heavily processed pulp

  • Formaldehyde-based resins or finishes

  • Strong chemical or synthetic odors

  • Recycled fibers without clear transparency around sourcing or contaminants

What I look for instead

I look for toilet paper made from plant-based fibers with minimal processing. I prioritize options that avoid added softeners and fragrances, use chlorine-free or elemental chlorine-free processing, and clearly disclose their fiber source. Tree-free options like bamboo usually fit best with how I approach this category.

Material context

This toilet paper is made from 100 percent bamboo, a fast-growing plant fiber that doesn’t rely on traditional tree harvesting. The rolls are three-ply for strength and softness without added conditioners or fragrances. Processing avoids chlorine bleaching, and the product comes in recyclable, plastic-free packaging. The certifications reflect responsible fiber sourcing and broader commitments to social and environmental standards.

How I think about this choice

Toilet paper doesn’t need extras to work well. I focus on simple, plant-based fibers, minimal processing, and transparent sourcing, so this everyday product fits naturally into a low-tox home.
