Category: Home > Toilet paper. Updated 2026-10-08. Based on 252 counted first-hand reports from Target shopper reviews, Oct 2019 to Oct 2026.

**Question:** Which toilet paper doesn't leave lint?

**Short answer:** Reel Premium Bamboo Toilet Paper has the best record by a wide margin: 34 of 37 shoppers said it left no lint or bits behind. Charmin Ultra Strong Toilet Paper comes next at 21 of 29. Several soft, plush rolls land below half, and since people tend to mention lint when they find it, low shares are common on this page.

**What stands out:** The two Charmin rolls here show the trade-off: 44% of Ultra Gentle reviews call it soft, but 56% mention lint, compared with 20% for Ultra Strong.
