    ASDA shades toilet roll is the best. Andrex is useless and splits easy and Tesco's stuff is not perforated correctly.

    In fact considering the price of Andrex, I am amazed they don't up their game. I would not buy it even if it was cheaper or on offer.

    ASDA's is also the best one for the environment.

    Supersoft from home Bargs is the best, and it's only £2.99 for 18 rolls:j:j

  • I stopped buying Tesco own as it was cr*p. Bitty, dusty, cheap and nasty.
    Switched to the branded names (I rather like the quilted version) but find for both popular choices the rolls are so fat they won't 'roll' properly on my loo roll holders until I've used several yards first.
    Trying out Charmin at the moment which are sort of OK.

    You must be using a different Andrex then I. Or maybe you wipe really rough.

    I normally use Farmfoods 'Nicky' loo rolls, they are great and cheap too. I did buy Asda 18 pack before Christmas and its not very good it disentegrates when you touch it.

    Just out of curiosity, how many loo rolls do you get through in an average week? My partner has been away for the past 2 months and I have only bought one 18 pack of loo rolls in that time and I still have two thirds (not turds) of it left with 3 of us here, but when he is home, we get through at least a pack of 9 per week. Its one of those bug bears that has me ranting many a time :(

    It's also good for blocking the toilet/ sewers
    Kitchen roll swells when it gets wet because it's designed to absorb water.

    Anyone remember the tracing paper they had us use in in public toilets many years ago? It didn't so much absorb as spread it around LOL :)
    Owed out = lots. :cool:
