Kitchen roll shrinking inner tube - help!

[faustina]

I realise this is a totally first world problem, but I've had my lovely rabbit and carrot kitchen roll holder for about 20 years and I don't want to buy another one. So - it seems like all the inner tubes for kitchen rolls have shrunk recently (see pics). I was already down to the Waitrose fancy one, but now even that has shrunk. Does anyone have the same holder? Where do you get your kitchen roll? If anyone doesn't mind being extra kind and getting their tape measure out for me, it needs to be 5cm to fit - the new one is now 4cm. Thank you!

We have this one. And I too love it. I buy amazon kitchen towel magnun ultra they work fine.

Figured I'd show you

Tesco own brand kitchen roll inner cardboard tube had shrunk so much that I had to unscrew the top of my kitchen roll holder each time to fit it on. However, they must have had complaints as just this last week I've noticed it now fits easily over the top of the holder and I no longer have to unscrew the top!

@Enko - THANK YOU!!!!!! I actually ended up in Waitrose today with a tape measure - god knows what the security guard thought I was doing. It's lovely isn't it? I will go straight off to amazon to order some

@EmmaPeele - I bought some from Tesco and just couldn't use them at all. I wonder if it's to save on plastic wrapping? Ir just general skrinkflation

@Enko - do you know which one it is, or are they all the same inner tube?

@faustina How recently did you buy the tesco ones? I get them every week and it's only just this week that they've fitted on my holder. They must have only just made them bigger again, unless it was a fluke pack!

@EmmaPeele - it was a couple of months ago - I usually buy the Waitrose extra strong ones. Maybe I should take my tape measure to Tesco next time I go - unless you wouldn't mind measuring yours?

I just measured my roll of cheeky panda and disappointed to find that it is only just over 4cm. I always fancied having a rabbit and carrot holder like yours.

@msbevvy that's very kind of you. At least now, if you buy one, you'll know which kitchen roll will fit

Love this very specific problem :). I have the orange and green one and we get all our kitchen rolls from Costco which have large inner tubes. Only problem is you can't see the carrot which makes me mildly sad.

Cheap Lidl ones have standard rolls

We buy the first one on your list. Used to get the larger ones but like @Poachedeggavocado. Says you can't see the carrot.

Thanks Enko - I will order them!
