What has happened to Andrex?? It’s so flimsy and yet expensive!! My friend suggested Aldi brand but they didn’t have any in stock today. Please share the brand that you recommend!

Sainsbury's double rolls. A roll of this lasts forever.

Sainsbury's Super Soft White Toilet Tissue Double Rolls 4 equals 8 Rolls | Sainsbury's

Agree. These are the best I’ve found too. Almost too good to be true for the price, I keep expecting them to be discontinued.

RandomNewIdentity · 10/12/2025 08:09

Who Gives A Crap. Good quality, delivered in bulk, doing some good. I don't drive so tend to shop at local stores and order in bulky stuff. Also smol for washing tabs etc

Very droll! My DF and sister use Lidl but the sheets are tiny and still not as good value as the ones I buy.

Cushelle. The Asda shades is a second to that

agreed, I always buy cushelle. Asda shades is made by the same supplier 🧻

I discovered Nicky about 10 years ago. I've never gone back.

I believe it was called Izal (sp?) and was pale green… we had it for a while in our secondary school loos, it wasn’t practical!

It used to make fab tracing paper though, was forever drawing on that stuff!

bugalugs45 · 10/12/2025 07:59

I like Waitrose cashmere feel , but the essential one is fine too . I don’t like WGAC or Nicky ! But any port in a storm 🤣

Happyjoe · 10/12/2025 07:55

I used Waitrose for years, only reason I ever bought anything from them, then they went down the awful route. Big 'outrage' from shoppers and they brought it back. Was the best available and was like Andrex was 20 years ago.

But noticed last batch I bought (I buy a few packets at a time because it's a bit of a drive to nearest) is going downhill again, getting rough. Still, it's still better than Andrex and half the price.

Ophy83 · 10/12/2025 07:53

Andrex or aldi. In Aldi take care to get the unscented pack if you react to fragrance - most of their options are scented, only one isn't

Londonrach1 · 10/12/2025 07:52

Tesco one is good as is crushelle. Was given a sample of the who's gives a crap one and can't believe people buy it. It was rubbish. Watching as can't believe the price of toilet paper now.

Hohumdedum · 10/12/2025 07:50

I used reusable cloth wipes when dc was in nappies and when they didn't need nappies I thought I'd try them on myself. I'm a total convert - they get you so much cleaner. I have a small wet bag in the bathroom for them.

I use Naked paper for guests.

Okiedokie123 · 10/12/2025 00:03

Tescos cheapest. Anything fancy just to wipe my behind seems like a massive waste of money to me.

If you have to use a lot to get your bum clean, it’s not saving you money.

StrongerFitter · 10/12/2025 07:44

We use Naked Paper (used to be Naked Sprout)
Love it. Bulk delivery so never run out, no individual wrappings, no bleach, don’t miss the dust we used to have all over the bathroom from other toilet rolls

Vroomfondleswaistcoat · 10/12/2025 07:38

Isn't it THE most disappointing thing, when you see a really good deal on toilet paper and so you buy about a million rolls, get it home, and realise that the quality has gone down so far that you've now lumbered yourself with a huge quantity of nearly-useless toilet paper?

I'm currently working my way through to the end of a bulk buy of Andrex which is flimsy and you need to use loads of sheets just so your finger doesn't go through. It doesn't even make good nose-wipe material. I've got some Cushelle waiting to be opened and I can't wait - just hope that hasn't deteriorated so far that it's worthless.

I use Bazoo , order them twice a year. Decent and made of bamboo so doesn’t create dust in bathroom. Very similar to who Gives a Crap but I find that brand name vulgar so looked for something else.

Haha love it, I also dislike the brand name and wouldn’t but from them just for that reason.

MYOB12 · 10/12/2025 07:32

We buy the back 18 roll packs from Home Bargains. Never had an issue with quality.

KilliMonjaro · 10/12/2025 07:30

muddyford · 10/12/2025 06:29

Either Sainsbury's or Tesco double length rolls. I gave up on Andrex when it became so flimsy. I made a note of prices and number of sheets per roll in the various shops and got my calculator out! I should get out more...

Spreadsheet? 🤣

KilliMonjaro · 10/12/2025 07:29

YABVU You should buy recycled toilet paper! It’s just wiping your arse ffs!

OliviaBonas · 10/12/2025 07:28

NeedANewOne25 · 10/12/2025 06:14

I don’t get the love for WGAC paper, it falls apart while using it.

Same!

Stargazingstargazer · 10/12/2025 07:27

Naked Paper - really good. Cheeky Panda also good

OakleyStreetisnotinChelsea · 10/12/2025 07:23

We use Naked paper. I like it.

We have Who Gives a Crap delivered.

PlazaAthenee · 10/12/2025 07:17

Another vote for sainsburys basics 4 pack double rolls. It doesn't have a silly scent and flushes easily.

Fancy quilted toilet roll just blocks my toilet.
