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!

Who Gives a Crap. I wasn’t sure at first but like them now.

UnNiddeRides · 10/12/2025 02:25

Aldi coconut oil one.

Agree - Andrew quality has really nosedived. The Asda Shades double rolls are great and really last.

I’m also going to say Kirkland from Costco , we swapped to it years ago after being an Andrex family and it is excellent .

I much prefer Naked Sprout to WGAC. I found WGAC so crumbly and rubbish.

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

Total tangent, but anyone remember that terrible stuff they used to put in public toilets in the 80s? It was like greaseproof paper!

Twittwoooodoyou · 10/12/2025 00:59

Another vote for costco! Worth the cost of the membership.

WearyAuldWumman · 10/12/2025 00:57

Be warned: do not use Aldi scented paper (if they ever bring it back). Ouch.

I think that Andrex is not the quality that it used to be. Asda's own brand is better.

I like Sainsbury’s quilted. I work too hard to rub my bum with something scratchy 🤣

Genuine game changer.

Thanks, I’m going to buy this ☺️

I buy little duck from Tesco online 16 mega rolls for £6.50 atm, it was on offer for £5 last week and often is

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.

Sorry I've had to laugh at vulgar. Are you from the 1920s! I've not heard anyone use the term vulgar in real life ever.

Alicorn1707 · 10/12/2025 00:24

@ifyourheart just double check that any loo roll you buy is 3 ply, can recommend these mega rolls

Who gives a crap in this house

REDB99 · 10/12/2025 00:21

Another vote for Cushelle. I just bought a 6 pack of Who Gives a Crap to try it and Cushelle is definitely better.

Having trialled all the ones mentioned so far, plus Who Gives A Crap, we’re back on Andrex Ultimate Quilts - it’s not as good as it was, but still the best of the lot. WGAC a close second, with the convenience of being bulk-delivered.

Andrex ultimate quilts for me, too. I really miss Kleenex double velvet. Agree about the Cushelle fat rolls, and Aldi's good.

Having made a choice now, I get the Andrex on subscription from Amazon - I hated trying all different brands to find one that's both soft and strong!

@Okiedokie123 - it gains importance with wear and tear! Hope you never need to care about it.

theunbreakablecleopatrajones · 10/12/2025 00:14

Cushelle, especially the tubeless ones - great idea

I have just bought a massive pack of naked paper which is v environmental, but not v appealing looking. I am still contemplating it so can't tell you what it's like

GoodQueenWenceslaus · 10/12/2025 00:12

I go for Asda Shades every time. I prefer it to Andrex, it seems tougher but it's still soft.

Landlordfornow · 10/12/2025 00:05

Nicky 3 ply from Home Bargains.

horsemadgal · 10/12/2025 00:03

Farmfoods Little Duck SoSoft. 18 in each pack and you get 6 packs for £20. 3 ply.
