Luxurious AND Long-Lasting

By Alana from Redondo Beach, CA on 6/22/2011

We sort of pride ourselves in our family for having the softest toilet paper around, and snicker a little at industrial feeling single-ply whenever we're exposed to it at someone else's home. It's ridiculous, I know, but toilet paper is something we'd splurge on just to be comfortable.

The great thing about Charmin' is that it is soft and worth the splurge, but because it is so durable, one roll lasts for several days, making it a great value. In a family of four, we can easily go 4-5 days between changing a roll, but hardly make it through one day with cheaper store brand double rolls.

The only drawback is that Charmin' does tend to be a little bulky for bathrooms without much space to hang toilet paper. However, they seem to have done work to consolidate space somehow because I've noticed a better fit the past few months.
