Let’s talk about the bamboo toilet paper revolution happening inside loos across the UK.
Today’s British consumers consider their values against the products they buy, including toilet paper. However, with numerous bamboo toilet tissue brands emerging, how do you choose wisely?
That’s why we’ve done the dirty work of collecting the straight facts on the best toilet roll brands in the UK.
A refresher on the benefits of bamboo toilet tissue
As the fastest growing plant in the world, bamboo gives Olympian runner vibes. It’s harvest-ready after a few years and doesn’t require replanting, whereas traditional trees take decades to reach maturity.
This overachieving flora is also thrifty with its resources, using significantly less water than hardwood trees. And it happily grows without chemical assistance — no pesticides or fertilisers needed, thank you very much.
All this without decimating forests. Rather brilliant, isn’t it?
Top bamboo toilet tissue brands in the UK
With numerous bamboo toilet paper companies available, it’s essential to evaluate toilet paper brands based on what matters: quality, cost, and business practices.
Without further ado, meet the top contenders.
1. Who Gives A Crap
That’s us. We’re the sassy ones with the eye-catching, individually wrapped rolls that are just too pretty to hide in the cupboard.

There's no need to take our word for it, either, because we have plenty of customer reviews to help you decide.

48 roll count (£48)
Sheet dimensions: 10 cm x 10 cm

Our loo rolls arrive at your doorstep via carbon neutral shipping. With a convenient subscription, you’ll never have to experience the anxiety of reaching for an empty roll holder again.
2. Naked Paper (formerly Naked Sprout)
Naked Paper’s bold stance consistently garners attention — they’ve decided to keep their loo roll au naturel, skipping the bleaching process entirely.
The result? A distinctly brown toilet paper that’s about as undressed as it gets.
Let’s take a look at their specs:
Ply count: 2
Sheets per roll: 320
Quantities available:
24 roll count (£23.50)
48 roll count (£39.99)
96 roll count (£75.99)
Sheet dimensions: 11.5 cm x 9.7 cm
B Corp™ score: 148.1
Their innovative approach to packaging — printing their carbon footprint right on the box — aligns perfectly with consumers’ preference for transparency.
Naked Paper positions its unbleached toilet paper as especially suitable for sensitive skin, but some reviewers raise concerns about softness and tearability issues. See how these rolls stack up to ours in a head-to-head comparison here.
3. Cheeky Panda
These bamboo enthusiasts are precisely what they sound like — cheeky. Since first spotting surplus bamboo in Asia in 2016, they have grown into a global brand with a particular soft spot for sensitive bottoms.
Take a peek at the specs for their double length, silky soft bamboo roll:
Ply count: 3
Sheets per roll: 380
Quantities available:
12 roll count (£22)
48 roll count (£48)
Sheet dimensions: 12 cm x 10 cm
B Corp™ score: 87.2
Their bamboo rolls come in a range of styles: silky soft, quilted soft, and natural colour. But a common complaint amongst reviewers is that the rolls are on the smaller side and rougher than other options.
Wildlife lovers will be pleased to know that Cheeky Panda donates to WWF conservation efforts with their specially labelled packs.
4. Bumboo
Bumboo has been busy creating quite the buzz in the bamboo toilet paper scene since 2019. This B Corp™-certified company focuses on transparency, publishing fibre test reports for every batch they produce, following a supply chain issue last year.
Here are their specs:
Ply count: 3
Sheets per roll: 300
Quantities available:
wrapped 24 roll count (£24)
wrapped 48 roll count (£44)
unbleached 24 roll count (£23)
unbleached 48 roll count (£42)
Sheet dimensions: 10 cm x 10 cm
B Corp™ score: 98.3
Bumboo touts their ‘extra long’ rolls, but in reality, their total sheet count doesn’t come close to other brands on this list! Some customers have reported less-than-ideal experiences, specifically, clogged drains. Whoops.
As for their social responsibility initiatives? Every purchase from Bumboo contributes to their rewilding initiative, restoring land areas to their original state.
5. Bazoo
It’s rare to hear about a company that launched during the pandemic era, but that’s when Bazoo founders took the plunge. Two recent grads made the most of their lockdown time to build a brand with an impactful message.
They offer two styles of bamboo toilet paper: bleached and unbleached. Customers can choose between individually wrapped or unwrapped rolls for the bleached bamboo packs only.
Check out the specs for the wrapped rolls here:
Ply count: 3
Sheets per roll: 370
Quantities available:
24 roll count (£28)
48 roll count (£46)
Sheet dimensions: Unavailable
B Corp™ score: Not certified
They’re proud of their environmental commitment, claiming to protect 100m² of endangered habitat with every order through a partnership with Rainforest Trust UK.
Without a B Corp™ certification, it’s difficult to say exactly how much environmental impact their efforts bring to the table. Still, their FSC® certification and plastic free packaging are a good start.
6. Bamboo Bobbi
More than just a brand, Bamboo Bobbi is a passion-driven initiative stemming from The Intelligent Group. Employees volunteer their time to a unique mission: supplying those in need with sustainable household products funded entirely by profits.
With little overhead and a lot of heart, this team keeps their bamboo toilet paper offerings simple and straightforward.
Check out the specs:
Ply count: 3
Sheets per roll: 200
Quantities available:
6 roll count (£6.99)
24 roll count (£19.99)
48 roll count (£35.99)
Sheet dimensions: 12 cm x 10.5 cm
B Corp™ score: Not certified
Their pricing places them among the most affordable options, but it's worth noting that they have the fewest sheets per roll compared to the other companies on our list.
