Couldn't get on with the recycled WGAC, their customer service was fantastic when I contacted them under the money back guarantee, they sent me a whole box of bamboo to try and I donated my unused rolls to a food bank. 

The bamboo is so much better I usually take a few sheets, fold then wipe. Had zero issues. Soft and strong.

Also very compatible with Wype which turns dry tp into moist toilet tissue. 

Places like eBay do single rolls if you wanted to do a test run, or smaller packs (sadly the minimum size on WGAC website has doubled from 12 to 24) are available on Amazon, Ocado, Waitrose.

Andrex is now next to useless. Disintegrates instantly.  WGAC though, wow! Impressed.

I totally agree, we haven't used it for years, until my wife bought a pack (why?why?why?) a couple of months ago, it was useless. I found nyself taking eight bits and folding them, but that didn't even work. We have used Florasyl or Cushelle recently and they have been fine.

Agree with the comments on the flimsiness of WGAC - we use it in our motorhome because it breaks down easily! In the house I like double length rolls and/or tubeless rolls, the Cushelle ones are good and are often on offer at Tesco with a Clubcard.

Has anybody ever actually done any testing on the genuine 'best value' toilet roll?
They all look pretty much the same on the shelf but;
Some have smaller inner tubes, so more sheets per same size roll
Some are thicker sheets, or better quality sheets, so you use fewer sheets per 'visit'
So it's not just a case of buying the cheapest on the day you shop
Also, what about the ones you can buy online that are bamboo or environmentally friendly from e.g. Cheeky Panda or Who Gives A Crap? Are they really as expensive as they seem or do they work out cheaper?

I subscribe to Which and they did a test on toilet rolls.  The best non big brand was Asda Shades
