What has happened to toilet paper?

[TeabySea]

I know its a rather odd topic for discussion.

Used to buy Wairose essential stuff. It was thick, long rolls, unbleached, and plain (untextured). They've changed it now and it's the same as everything else; flimsy, quilted/textured and leaa on a roll.
Is there anything proper out there? Just bought 'who gives a crap'and disappointed to discover that that's also thin and textured.
I don't want fragrances, or texture or stuff your fingers go through. I don't want stuff so flimsy that you have to use half a roll for a bowel movement.
Doss such a product exist any more? What is this new trend for mediocre stuff?

I said this on the other thread too but I'd recommend writing to Waitrose to complain and say you want the old stuff back. Or send them a link to the threads on here about it.

I've found cheeky panda ok but the roll is half the size of the old Waitrose one. It has a much larger tube too. Waitrose one was wound just as tight so it's not just that being the difference.

I also lamented waitrose toilet paper.

The best alternative I found is Cushelle with the extra sheets in Tesco.

Izal, your fingers won't go through that! 😫

Anyone in "junior school" in the 70s will remember that stuff!!!
