My Review: On Quality of Toilet Papers

Everyone spends thousands of dollars every year on these necessary papers, to flush them down the toilet. Does this tell us something? Maybe the manufacturers think they do not have to bother about quality.

In my opinion, choosing the best for less is virtually impossible. The manufacturers are taking us for a ride. The prices are skyrocketing while the quality is fast deteriorating.

There are so many different brands, offering different options, like one- ply, two-ply, three-ply and virtually no ply. I recently raced into a shop and bought a four pack of black and gold. I was disgusted with it. There are more holes and rips in these, so much so that it is virtually unusable. (See enclosed picture of one section and yes, this was a good part). I have spoken to other people who have had similar problems.

I have been comparing some of these products and this is my results.

Company advertising- versus- my opinion

Black & Gold Strong one ply, 500 sheets 11cm x 10 cm

I found it to be cheap and nasty as you could no doubt see in the above black & White picture. You would need to double or treble it to avoid the holes and it was very stiff.

Kleenex: Soft, and pure white. Two ply 190 sheets- 11cmx10cm

I found it to be: as advertised except less sheets per roll.

Wondersoft : Combination of softness and strength at a sensible price. Two and three ply 210 sheets 10cm x 11cm

I found it to be: Like the perfumed papers, and paper feels like good quality. Less sheets per roll.

Purex: it is strong on softness and comes in many size packs. Two ply, 230 sheets - 11cm x 10cm

I found it to be: good soft and strong

Sorbent extra Environmental friendly, biodegradable and safe for system. Contains some perfume.190 sheets - 2 ply, 11cm x 10cm Made in Australia.

I found this to be not as soft as others did and less amount of sheet per roll.

Maybe we will have to go back to the old days of the Dunnie and recycle all the old newspapers.

I distinctly remember the smell as NOT being very nice, in fact quite the opposite. It did not cost us a fortune, nor kill any of us. I cannot remember if the print wore off onto our butts either.

Question: What does Australian Made & Australian Owned really Mean?

In conclusion

My choice for the best one would have to be Purex as they have the most sheets per roll. And are good quality, and soft paper.

Let me know your opinions on this matter.
