I have been ordering my toilet roll from Amazon for a while now and haven't looked back. Is much cheaper and you also get plenty more rolls. I usually go for this one:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Triple-Velvet-Jumbo-Roll-Pack/dp/B08HLGKP9J/ref=sr_1_6?crid=RCUBW4JDMGEY&keywords=toilet+roll&qid=1698167997&sprefix=toilet+roll,aps,90&sr=8-6

Why by 24 you can get 32 for 8.49 Nicky Home Bargains 

Nicky is scented, OP does not want scented

Nicky may be scented but the smell is unnoticeable not like if you walk into a scented candle shop.

It’s not because I don’t like the smell, scented toilet roll and sanitary products are really bad for women’s health, especially if you’re prone to UTIs or thrush. We shouldn’t really be using them.

Wow I was not aware this was the case. Do they warn of this on the packaging???

They don't, but its common knowledge that warm water will do and anything "cosmetic" is to be avoided. If you believe the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow and Kourtney Kardashian you would be sticking bits of fruit up your nether regions (allegedly to make it a more pleasant experience, for whom I don't know!).

Lovely! Lol. I will make sure my other half is well informed.

I've been buying Waitrose's Essential Waitrose Ultra Soft Bathroom Tissue for years now. The largest pack of 24 sometimes costs me £10 if they give me £1 off with their MyWaitrose voucher. (Its price has gone up significantly since the pandemic). The important things I find are that they are excellent quality paper so I can use less and the rolls are longer (240 sheets) with sheets of larger dimensions (124x104mm) than many other brands. The paper is so good that I use it for cleaning up in the bathroom & downstairs loo instead of kitchen towel sometimes.

Unfortunately these products are 100% a marketing concept and no one has ever actually consulted doctors about them. And because they’re not toxic, they just upset pH balance which can throw your “good bacteria” out of whack and allow “bad bacteria” & yeast infections to thrive, so they’re legal.

Ask any gynaecologist and they’ll rant for hours about scented products and “feminine washes” not only being unnecessary but actually bad for you. Even the NHS guidance around people prone to infections is “don’t use scented products in intimate areas”. 

They really need to be labelled/banned but it won’t happen unfortunately.

Thank you! 

Sadly the nearest Waitrose is a few hundred miles away as I’m in the North of Scotland (the tiny section of Dobbies garden centre that technically has one won’t do large packs of anything, I don’t even think they sell toilet roll) but I could maybe stock up next time I’m in Edinburgh!

I wouldn’t trust anyone who markets a candle called “this smells like my vagina”.

I recommend against Lidl toilet rolls. Caused me an itchy bum with whatever they put in it. Don't find the same with other toilet rolls.

I am having to evaluate toilet roll though- paid £2.25 for 4 the other day which is quite expensive. 55p a toilet roll.

One of children's hall of residence is opposite a Morrison's who have just changed one of their toilet rolls to scented which has seen a lot of girls there suffering with thrush as a result.
