Recycled Toilet Paper: What It Really Feels Like

It depends on the brand. For some recycled toilet paper like our Rebooty, which is 3-ply, it feels as soft as a bunny. For others, imagine you’re walking through a forest, enjoying the cool breeze of sustainability. Suddenly, you trip over a branch, fall on your backside, and get up feeling oddly proud. That’s recycled toilet paper. It’s the toilet paper that makes you work a little harder but leaves you with the smug satisfaction of knowing you’ve done something great.

Let’s get real for a moment. When you think of recycled toilet paper, like our Rebooty recycled paper, your mind probably conjures up two things: saving the planet and saving money. But what does it feel like to use recycled toilet paper? Buckle up, because you might be surprised.

The Good Intentions Behind the Rough Realities

When you pick up a roll of recycled toilet paper, you're doing a good thing for the environment. You’re reducing waste, conserving resources, and feeling downright noble about it. In theory, this sounds amazing. You're hugging a tree every time you hit the bathroom, single-handedly saving forests and lowering your carbon footprint one square at a time.

The Texture: A Well-Meaning Paper Towel?

If you’ve ever run your hand across recycled toilet paper, you may have experienced a flashback to any time you had to use those brown paper towels at a public bathroom to dry your hands or face. Depending on the brand, it’s the toilet paper equivalent of being told “we have food at home” instead of stopping for fast food. It's functional.

While our Rebooty recycled toilet paper is 3-ply and is soft and cloud-smooth, other brands of recycled toilet paper can feel more like rubbing a thin sheet of tree bark against your delicate bits. Sure, you’ll finish the job, but you might feel like you’ve earned a merit badge for surviving the experience.

The Tear Test: Will It, Won’t It?

Ever tried to tear off a square of recycled toilet paper only to find that it refuses to cooperate? The stuff is tough. It's like toilet paper that went to boot camp. This is not the delicate, fluffy stuff that floats off the roll with a mere glance. No, you’ve got to work for it. You’ll likely end up tearing three extra squares by accident, leaving you with more than you intended, like that person who goes in for a high-five and somehow ends up with a handshake, a hug, and awkward eye contact.

The Unexpected “Exfoliation” Experience

If you've ever felt like your bathroom routine could use more texture (you know, to really spice things up), recycled toilet paper has you covered. You might even leave the bathroom feeling as though you've had a light exfoliation session. Your skin is renewed! Your bathroom routine, however, has taken an unexpected turn towards spa-like abrasiveness. Who needs expensive scrubs when you’ve got this sustainable gem?

The Scent of Sustainability

There's a certain earthiness to recycled toilet paper. Maybe it's psychological, but you can almost smell the "recycledness" of it. It's not the floral or baby powder scent of the high-end quilted stuff. No, this is more of a “natural” fragrance, which in this case means it smells like wet cardboard mixed with “just doing our best here.”

It’s like the paper has a story to tell, one involving being reborn from old newspapers, paper towels, and a collection of unknown documents that all went through the great circle of recycling life. Each wipe is a small tribute to those items, which probably didn’t know they’d end up here.

A Workout for Your Wallet (In a Good Way!)

Now, here's the silver lining. While your behind may be questioning your life choices, your wallet is having the time of its life. Recycled toilet paper is often more affordable, and on top of that, you can bask in the knowledge that you're doing something good for the environment. You’re winning both ways. Sure, your bathroom experience may feel a little like camping in the wilderness, but hey, you're saving trees!

The Planet Says Thank You, But Your Bottom’s Unsure

Let’s be clear, your conscience is absolutely crushing it with recycled toilet paper. Mother Nature is probably out there somewhere clapping. Meanwhile, your rear end is sitting in the corner, icing itself like an athlete after a hard day’s work. It’s like the emotional toll of volunteering for a charity run—you feel good about the cause, but also slightly battered.

The Final Verdict

So, what does recycled toilet paper really feel like? It depends on the brand. For some recycled toilet paper like our Rebooty, which is 3-ply, it feels as soft as a bunny. For others, imagine you’re walking through a forest, enjoying the cool breeze of sustainability. Suddenly, you trip over a branch, fall on your backside, and get up feeling oddly proud. That’s recycled toilet paper. It’s the toilet paper that makes you work a little harder but leaves you with the smug satisfaction of knowing you’ve done something great.

In the end, using recycled toilet paper is like going on a juice cleanse: it’s tough in the moment and hard to get used to at first(which is more a mental thing), but you feel morally superior afterward, you feel like you’re doing something that is good for you. You’ll emerge from the bathroom, knowing that while your bathroom trip was a little more rugged than usual, you’ve contributed to a greener future.
