Toilet Roll Quality....?

  • How about paper towels?
  • My uncle works in a toilet roll manufacturing complex (;)) so he often picks us up damaged produce, usually it's supermarker own brand, but when it's available for a fifth of the price, who's going to complain, especially when they say damaged, it's usually the packaging.
  • Another convert to Nicky here. I visit Farm Foods regularly for milk and bits but neever considered the loo roll.
  • Just used my andrex shea butter toilet paper (£1.80ish for 4 rolls from HB) .......... bliss:j

    Somerfield currently have 9 rolls of Charmin (not the supersize one, the normal one) for £2.50 plus there is a voucher for 50p off Charmin on the Charmin website making it £2 for 9 Charmin :).

    I used to always buy Andrex up until a couple of years ago when I tried Asda toilet roll, think its called Shades. It seems far better quality. I also tried Tesco own brand stuff but found that very thin and poor quality compared to Asda.
  • Another for Nicky here. I buy Asda Shades (if can't get to Home Farm) but Nicky wins the No1 spot.
    All the other higher priced brands are dreadful now. I got so embarrassed when a friend from US came over & asked if we had anything other than sandpaper in the house! LOL That was a few years back & the premium brands have got FAR worse since then.

    I agree with this I buy tesco value, it's very soft and as strong as the brand names which really aren't worth the money when you consider where it ends up! :D

    Not good for your toilet or your plumbing, as they don't break up as easily as loo roll does..... :eek:

    That's why there are often signs up in public toilets asking folk not to put paper towels down the toilet.
