Anyone tried bamboo based toilet paper

[swemmy666]

As in cheeky panda/ Who gives a crap in their cassette ?

 

[vin.egan]

yes, Who Gives a Crap, never had a problem. I suppose it would depend on the amount you use.

 

[The Coops]

They were giving shed loads out at Chester food rally a few years ago, did they know something we didn't?

 

[Hawkstone]

Yep, in the van and at home. Perhaps not quite as plush and soft as some but environmentally friendly so doing my little bit. I do think it breaks down better than the squishy stuff

 

[Mark and Mindy]

We have Cheeky Panda, much prefer it to the regular rolls, the original reason for switching was that the perforations weren't very good causing pieces to tear off strips. I keep a vague eye on our supply and when we're near the bottom of the box order some more direct from them.
We use both at home and in the van although I wouldn't know about it breaking down etc as that's a "blue" job.

Pink job here . Basically it was a case of he or she who does the dirty in the van first empties and cleans the cassette. Was it my fault there were no loos at the parkrun in France ? Anyone who runs will know

 

[gus-lopez]

& available in europe also.

We started using toilet tissue for septic tank use some years back as it breaks down into a mush very quickly so does not get caught up in the cassette.
We moved over to bamboo loo paper last year as again it breaks down to a mush quickly, and it was cheaper that the septic tank tissue we were using before.

Another positive vote for Who gives a crap here.... we buy a bundle that includes loo rolls, tissues and kitchen roll. All really good stuff.

We use Who Gives A Crap........ At home and RV but then we macerator empty the black waste and has no problems with bamboo paper.

 

[Scottish Scrutineer]

We’ve been using The Cheeky Panda for years at home. No issues, and converted my mother to using it after she stayed for a week and she liked our loo paper

 

[Bailey58]

I tried it once and got splinters.

 

[stewartwebr]

Been using Cheeky Panda in our macerated motorhome toilets since it was launched. None of them have suffered any issues. We have a lot of it, ordered a restock from Amazon of 100 rolls and the shipment got lost. They sent the replacement and both orders arrived on the same day. Amazon told us to keep them, that’s us good for a while

 

[Verteuil Man]

The question is, is one sheet up to the job , or do you need to double up?

you need to be patient, wait until they have made it into paper

Tons of bamboo around us, but haven't seen any Pandas (except Italian ones). Actually if people knew how invasive it is they wouldn't go anywhere near it.

Just as well I wasn’t planning on growing my own loo paper then.

Ah yes - the enduring combined power of a Parkrun and Lycra - no sooner have you put the damn stuff on, you're rapidly trying to take it off again.

Well, inspired by this thread, we just bought our first pack of Cheeky Panda. (I might have tried the other one but would have been too embarrassed if I'd met anybody I knew in Waitrose, with that name plastered across an enormous box in my basket. I'm clearly not the target market. )

Anyway, having installed the first roll in our bathroom at home I can report that it seems soft, and thin but strong. Impressed.

I never thought, when I signed up to a forum for motorhome discussions, that it would end up affecting me so intimately...

The stuff in my garden make Trump and Musk look like lightweights when it comes to world domination. Today the garden, tomorrow the world.

If anyone else is, like me, thinking of embarking on a bamboo-based exploration, I'll mention that Waitrose, for the next week, have a sale price of two 9-roll packages of Cheeky Panda for £11, which takes it from being one of the most expensive loo rolls to pretty much average, and is noticeably cheaper than ordering from CP directly.

Now I can't stop humming...
"Oh, me ol' bamboo, me ol' bamboo..."

I wonder if Donald Trump uses this type of paper, 'cos I just heard him at his speech saying something about America's environment!
Pretty sure it was something about he doesn't give a sh*t! Well, I suppose there has to be a few Wabbits in this world to help it revolve!!!

Bamboo is notorious for spreading everywhere.
