Seventh Generation Paper Towel Review

So here is my first compensated review. Seventh Generation has sent me some products to look at and let you know what I think of them.

First up. Paper Towels.

Sweet: Eco-friendly, cost, works well.

Sour: A select-a-size option would be better.

We set these up in our house after we finished our last bit of our preferred paper towels. I have to say, these did a really nice job. They reminded me of the Sparkle brand paper towels that my mom used to buy. I definitely felt good about using these though. It was a nice feeling to use an eco friendly paper towel that didn’t break the bank. When I went looking, these were readily available at our local grocery stores. Nice! Oddly enough, we had lots of baby messes to pick while these were around. I would definitely use these again. My only wish is that they had a select-a-size option. I think this would really drive home the idea of not wasting our resources, and frankly most of the time I don’t need a full paper towel.

Seventh Generation Paper Towels are:

  • 100% recycled paper (minimum 80% post-consumer, 20% pre-consumer)
  • Hypo-allergenic
  • Whitened without chemicals containing chlorine or unwhitened
  • Strong and absorbent
  • Unscented
  • No added dyes and fragrances

*Update

Thanks to a question from Jen, I am going to compare the paper towels to other brands we have used.

This paper towel seems like a good basic paper towel. It is comparable to Marcal or Sparkle. It isn’t as thick as any of the premium brands (Bounty, Brawny or Scott). But it is thicker than store brands. Seventh Generation paper towels picked up less than the premium brands but the difference is small enough that we would continue to use this brand.
