Charmin Ultra Soft

I live in a household of females, and we go through a lot of toilet paper. Charmin Ultra Strong is unquestionably the best we have ever used. A close second is the Charmin Ultra Soft, followed by Costco's Kirkland house brand.

First, you can ignore Charmin's claim of DiamondWeave and so on about using 4X less. That is just marketing fluff. What this is is a good quality toilet paper like that made a decade or two ago before companies started cheapening everything out in order to boost their profits.

What I really like about Charmin Ultra Strong is that it is both soft and strong. While Ultra Soft is softer, it tears apart more easily. Also, the texture is more soft due to what I would call being "flocked". The problem with that is it creates a lot of dust and anything that is damp or wet (well just about everything you'd use this on) gets flocked as well, which you sometimes have to wash, or you'll get little lint balls stuck on yourself. So, in that regard, Ultra Strong is better. It is soft enough and softer than most, including Costco's. To me, it is important to be strong to wipe up odd goop in the bathroom, blow your nose in a pinch, etc. The last thing I like is "finger through", so this is a great TP.

When you buy Charmin Ultra Strong (or Ultra Soft), the prices vary wildly as do the sizes and packages which aids in confusion if you are a smart shopper. The various roll sizes are below:

* Regular Roll = 1X
* Large Roll = 1.5X
* Big Roll = 2X
* Giant Roll = 2.5X
* Mega Roll = 4X

What the X means is just that times as many sheets. So, a case of Mega Roll has twice as many sheets as a case of Big Roll. I generally buy the Big Roll as that's what's cheapest at big box stores. I've found the Mega Roll rubs in our holders before it is used up a bit. In the end, I would go with whatever size works out cheaper and/or is on sale.
