Nicky toilet roll....

Options
I changed to Nicky a while ago due to recommendations on here. Must admit I was well impressed.
Previously only used Andrex but found that its softness and quality had detiorated.

My question now is has anyone found a drop in Nicky's quality ? I personally think it's become thinner.:( My OH thinks so too.
I'd rather pay an extra £ 1 for 18 rolls if the quality remains the same. Providing I'm not imaging this that is !
July £10 a day challenge £ 20.05 / £ 155

    I've been using Nicky for about 9 months now. Even I live alone and still buy 2 packs of 9 when I have about 3 rolls left.

    Not noticed the paper becoming thinner as I was on supermarket own brand stuff before then.

    I havent noticed anything happening with Nicky, still the best value around. I pay £2 for 9 rolls,
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.
  • Nicky do 2 ply and 3 ply - if you accidently picked up the 2 ply when you were used to using the 3 ply, you would definitely notice!! :o

    My local Wilkinsons only stock 2 ply and I cannot get to Farm Foods who stock the 3 ply :mad:

    I will second that, my mother in law bought some from Farmfoods a while ago, not realising that they were only 2 ply.

    She double checks each time now as there is quite a big diffence in the quality.

    I have found that the peach coloured one seems to tear off a bit better than the ones in the light blue bag, ie white rolls, not sure why as they were both 3 ply.

    ;)

    Also fallen for this ....... there is a marked difference between them so I'd def stick with the 3 ply.

    Was a bit worried when I saw the thread title as I love them & they are such great value and I thought "ohhhhhh nooooo" but had forgotten about the 2 / 3 ply until others mentioned it .... so it's a big "phew" here!:D

  • I buy this often in Home bargains.
  • I couldn't get to Home Bargains (in the next town) last time for my usual stock-up of Nicky so bought a similar one in B & M. 9 rolls of 3 ply at the same price as Nicky. It compares very favourably and I shall definitely buy it again. But be aware they also do a 2 ply one (as do Nicky) so make sure you are picking the right one up!
