The Non Breast Thread

I am very fond of the one (Sorbent?) which is double the length of the normal roll. It is nice and thick - and does, indeed, last twice as long. For some reason I am annoyed by having to change the roll frequently.

Never heard of Sorbent. Must be a local brand.

I find Scott to be the mot economical, even if I have to double or truple up on the layers. Recently I was in Sam's club, and they did not have Scot's. I was obliged to take Northern. Now Northern has a nice feel to it, and is quite spongy in texture. But I do resent having to bring out a new roll every day.

I will never, never, never buy Charmin. I don't care if I need to use the Sunday funnies, in a pinch. My abhorrence to the product goes back to the days when Mr. Whipple was hawking its virtues. Every time he said, "Please don't squeeze the Charmin", I became so angry, that it necessitated using one of his competitor's products. I even wrote a nasty letter to the manufacturer, and as I had expected, did not get any satisfaction.

I get the recycled TP. It's not the best and not the worst TP, but I feel good about buying it. If I'm buying TP where they don't sell recycled stuff, I buy Scott. Haven't noticed it getting lass valuable.

And furthermore, I hate the soft and fluffy TP because it leaves lint behind - how gross is that?

Now, I have noticed a lessening in value of many cereals. They make the box bigger and the content shrinks, the prices are outrageous!

I recently noticed the centre roll, hole is getting larger as well.

Still use Scott Tissue in our house too. Over the years it has gotten thinner and the rolls smaller...it still claims to have 1000 sheets per roll. K-Mart carries a brand similar to Scott. It's cheaper but it seems to last about the same amount of time.

When I see products that I've used over the years, claiming they are new and improved, I think, "oh no what have they done to it now?"

I worked in large corporate offices where I've seen cases and cases of toilet paper ordered in. In no time at all it would disappear...probably more like stolen. The big boss ordered the stuff locked up and inventoried on a regular basis, because it was too damned expensive for employees to take home.

Cottonelle double rolls. I gotta have my soft TP.

Be kind to your behind... Get some of the nice soft and squishy ones that don't break apart.

I went to Scott....because of the two lil boys in my house that think it takes a whole roll to clean thier tushes with. It helped......lol

Yeah, edgar, I have noted thinness. Like Montana, I like to buy cottonelle because of the absorbency and you can use less at a time.
And like littlek I don't like lint left behind, so-- with cottonelle, there is a smooth surface that is lintless, but the feel is "poofy" and rich.
It is more expensive, I guess- and not recommended for those with S. tanks/vs city sewage acct. That is another factor that keeps Scott in business.
Deb, that must be an Australian brand, never heard of 'Sorbent' here.

What about paying the SAME for a 5 ounce bag of chips that we got seven ounces in last year???

I'm still smarting from when they began putting 4 pounds of sugar in bags instead of 5 and charging the same price.

For the older crowd...do you remember the separate little white sheets of toilet paper they used to put in the dispensers of public and school restrooms...it resembled fine sandpaper?

I've seen that. I went to so many schools I saw a number of different kinds.

Recycled toilet paper? Ain't goin' there on a bet!

Why is it not recommended for septic tanks? I have a septic tank and I still use it.

Geez, would you trust a paperless toilet? I'd be leery about relying on such a thing to do it's job thoroughly.

I never thought I would find anything less expensive than Scott Tissue, but sure enough, in Dollar Store, there was the exact duplicate, with 1250 tissues which Scott has 1000, feels the same, for less money. Woo Hoo!
