Silk'n Soft Bamboo Toilet Paper

Picture it: Vegas, 2020. An apocalypse is raging across the land. For some reason, idiots worldwide are hoarding paper towels and toilet paper thinking it will protect them from the plague. It's June, the great toilet paper scare is drawing to an end, but you still need to buy any toilet paper you can find or risk needing to use a tongue to clean up the messes usually associated with toilet paper. There is none to be found in town, but after three months Amazon is starting to stop with their price gouging and they finally have precious toilet paper! However, it's this really weird bamboo stuff.Normally, you wouldn't even think about wiping your backside with something made of bamboo, even if it claims to be silky soft, but desperate times call for desperate measures. I decided to give it a shot to keep from using actual bamboo on that sensitive part of my body.Not only is it actually soft, it's surprisingly strong! We've gone through the entire package and there wasn't a single finger popping through the paper to give you a little surprise while wiping. I honestly think I would buy this stuff again, but it's a little pricey for what you get (or maybe that was the aforementioned price gouging) so I probably won't buy it again until the next apocalypse.

After trying Silk’n Soft bamboo based toilet paper product, I can say it’s shockingly soft compared to the much cheaper Hill Country Fare 1000 sheet 1 ply toilet paper that I’ve been using for 3 years.The attached photo compares the very thin 1 ply HCF to Silk’n Soft 3 ply bamboo based toilet paper. In the photo the HCF is thinner and darker. The Silk’n Soft is a brighter white and slightly thicker. Silk’n Soft is not thick. The quilting holds the layers together. I had no issues with the dry layers falling apart during use.The second photo is the Silk’n Soft on top of the HCF to show the color difference.The third photo shows how the paper tears easily when saturated with water for 30 seconds.In personal use, the TP held up very well with zero tearing, lint, scratching or burning.Some people switch TP to have less impact on the environment.Other people are trying to stop using sandpaper TP.Still others need a septic tank or RV friendly TP.Some want to compost the paper.For now I am satisfied that this TP performs as advertised and will update if I experience differently.Thank you for taking the time to read this review. I hope you found information that helps in your decision making.

I have been really trying not to use single use paper products. I have no problem with wood furniture and household items, but anything I can do to lessen my daily use is what I can do.I used to be the Quilted Northern Soft and Strong user for a long time. I use a bidet and I need a toilet paper to hold up to that and still be soft.I tried the brands at the coop, no luck: All too thin to be comfortable, and one kept falling apart, ugh. A friend posted on Facebook about these so I thought to give them a try.Wow, they are the best I have found and are almost as puffy as the QN, but that doesn't matter. It is the feel.If you are tired of deforestation, move to bamboo. Bamboos are a group of woody perennial evergreen plants in the true grass family Poaceae. The bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants in the world.Update 10/23/18Still really liking this bamboo tp. Once in a while the layers are not secure, but that is rare. I keep getting this over and over, highly recommended if you want to get away from using paper, use grass.Update 03/23/19Still going strong, it is funny to me that just one or up to three are in each package with the wacky end. Still think this is the best TP from grass.UPdate July 1 2019Sillk'n soft remade it and now it is like quilted northern more, the weird separation doesn't happen anymore, still soft and no trees! (I'll add a picture when I can)Update: November 20 2019See the pictures, old one had separation problems, and the new version .... I must have gotten a bad run as every roll has this strange poke out sides, and they look produced like that. IDK what happened in production but every roll in this new pack has this in the middle of each roll. I still love this TP, and will keep buying it. Just know that there are abnormalities in production but it is good and soft and sturdy. I still recommend.

This brand has been my preferred bamboo TP from amazon after trying many others. I would only use others when it went out of stock. In the last 1+ year however, there have been inconsistencies in batches with some being very mildly or very rough and then some being soft. I was hoping this was a manufacturing issue and stuck with them, hoping it would eventually resolve, but the last 4 batches have all been VERY rough and I no longer consider it better than other brands. It's unfortunate.
