To ask you about toilet paper

[ifyourheart]

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!

Whatever is cheapest!

We use Aldi’s as well, it’s brilliant for the price especially.

I find these leave lots of dust in the toilets so I've gone back to the regular Andrex (ie not mega roll)

I know! 😆 the ridiculous thing is I swear like a trooper, my most used sentence I think is “For fucks sake” and I often drop a C bomb, but I draw the line at having loo rolls labelled with the word crap! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️😆😆

Honestly, I’m not that keen either (and also swear liberally IRL)

Stick with Andrex the others are abysmal. No one can convince me supermarket own brands come even close.

There was a Sliced Bread podcast on which was the best from an eco point of view. In short, there's not much to choose between recycled and bamboo; bamboo growth is less carbon intensive than wood but transport costs and lack of recycling options offset that. However, bleached vs non-bleached made a big difference. I use Naked sprout - took a little getting used to the brown paper but it does the job and I feel good about using it.

Aldi or Lidl own brand 4 ply.

Cushelle is my favourite. Wype cleaning gel has been a game changer though.

I buy the cheapest loo rolls.
Im only going to flush it a way.

Must admit, I don’t like the C word either, and it puts me off buying it as well.

Oh my god I didn't even notice haaa 🤣 thats funny as

WGAC doesn’t perform well in soft water areas, it just disintegrates. Their bamboo paper holds together well though.

Asda Shades are good!

Asda Shades - the big rolls. Nothing fancy but does the job.

Cheeky Panda Bamboo - I wouldnt buy anything else now. Its on amazon

Yeah, I don't like it. Not really because I'm offended by the word in general, but it's part of the twee nonsense that we get from companies like Innocent and Octopus. It's about register - I don't want companies trying to provide a product professionally acting like they are my mate in the pub.

This is hilarious!

I don't even know what's in the bathroom without going to check. I just buy whatever seems reasonable when needed (not the very cheap flimsy stuff but nothing too elaborate).

I wasn't aware favourite toilet paper was a thing!

We get Panda paper at £10 for 45 rolls. Does the job nicely.

I buy Who Gives a Crap in bulk. One roll lasts forever.

We had that in our school too. Ghastly !

I find the standard Andrex does a weird thing now where the layers slip apart as you are wiping, it just doesn’t seem to wipe well at all. The Mega Rolls are different though, they are ok. Stopped buying WGAC as not great for the price.
Many types seem to leave a lot of papery dust on the back of the loo as well, this didn’t used to happen years ago.

Another vote for Little Duck at Tesco.

Anywhere else and I will just buy their home brand, though will check around at the time to see what looks like the best value.

I refuse to pay any more than I really have to for something that we are mostly going to be stuffing up our arses! 🙄😎

I remember it well. Awful stuff. It was shit (pun intended). It nearly scraped your arse off.

Interested to read this thread. So thanks for starting it OP.

For some time I've been thinking I must be imagining how awful Andrex has become.

Andrex mega rolls seemed ok but couldn't get them in my local Tesco last time I bought loo rolls so ended up with regular Andrex and yes, they're just as awful as I thought they were.

I'm not keen on quilted as they don't seem to flush properly, might try Cushelle non quilted.
