Is All The Toilet Paper Ruined? Costco Ruined Their Generic Brand. (1 Viewer)

[rockaction]

Kirkland ruined their toilet paper. Is this happening with all the others? It's like writing paper now. Just an FYI. Don't buy it in bulk.

 

[snellman]

This brand has been good for us:

Fiora Toilet paper

We get it at our local grocery store, it is only 5.99 for 12 rolls, holds up well, but does not feel like sandpaper.

 

[McBokonon]

As a Costco shareholder, you shut your stupid face.

As someone who poops, you’re right. I might need to start wearing gloves because I’m flying too close to the sun.

 

[Terminalxylem]

Thought this was a bidet-only club?

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

We use Scotts I think? It’s like sandpaper and everyone who doesn’t live here complains about it.

I just roll it into a ball/wad and then cover it with a tissue and “wala”.

 

[dkp993]

It’s always been sandpaper to me. Get pissed when the wife buys it.

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

Charmin is on sale at Costco often enough

 

[Terminalxylem]

I’m also concerned about the fiber intake around here.

 

[rockaction]

Apparently the person in charge here of these things has also complained. I just hate to see a good product suffer from a form of shrinkflation.

And I am concerned about fiber and flying to close to the sun, which is a pretty classic way to put it. Heh.

Weird. It has never bothered me, but today I can tell just from tearing it.

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Charmin ultra soft or quilted northern for me (whatever the purple variant is) whichever is on sale

 

[Don Quixote]

Costco by me has stopped selling any TP other than Kirkland brand. Gone back to buying from elsewhere.

That is very odd. Wow.

eta* I will have to find out if that is the case here

That’s a beautiful euphemism. Gonna have to steal it.

That’s on brand based on your movie taste

Sam's Club TP is a million times better than Costco's.

McBokonon comes up with some pretty good stuff. Takes after his authorial referent. (It's Vonnegut, IIRC.)

But Costco's face is a million times more beautiful than Sam's Club's face, if I might twist a FBG euphemism there.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Cottonelle here. I'm probably destroying the planet or something. I used the waxed crap in college. Never going back.

 

[KarmaPolice]

I think that is about the only Costco-brand product I haven't been a fan of since going there. I use the savings on other stuff to splurge on the Charmin for my delicate booty.

Just don't squeeze it. The Charmin that is. #mrwhipple

Bidet and Charmin ultra soft for the spot check. To quote Robert Smith-"Just Like Heaven"

 

[Cowboysfan8]

What?

 

[Buckna]

Wife switched us to this brand: https://us.whogivesacrap.org/

The name constantly cracks me up

 

[nightmare]

Bidet. The rest of the world knows better then to clean a sensitive spot with dry paper.

 

[Schmeabs]

We have been buying Costco toilet paper for the past 10 years. I hadn't noticed a change but because of this thread I checked and it does seem thinner than I remember. When did they make the change?

 

[Desert_Power]

Not sure when this changed either, but I had gotten another brand and noticed it was much better.

 

[Scoresman]

We use Charmin Ultra Strong, but we also have a bidet. I feel like we have the cleanest buttholes around.

Who gets to verify this?

What?

That inter-leafed Ft Howard stuff. It has a sort of waxy finish. It was Soviet-era stuff.

Very recently. You might still be using the old stuff. You'd know the new stuff in a heartbeat.

Very cost efficient.

I did not think there would be such demand for proof. I'm flattered.

[eighsse2]

I use the Kroger Scott-knockoff, or Scott itself, whichever is cheaper. Usually Kroger. I actually despise the soft/fluffy/multi-ply stuff.

 

[shuke]

I haven't noticed a difference. However a few years ago I thought I noticed that the Kirkland brand was producing more toilet paper dust than before. I'm still buying it but maybe it's time to switch.

I'm pretty sure they had a sleeper agent switching the TP and selling the good stuff on the black market.

This is definitely true with the Costco brand. Our TP holder always looked like the floor of a saw mill.

I am holding it in at all costs before I make a deposit at a fast food bathroom. Poop into a hotel and run to their bathroom if you have to go that bad!

I prefer the much more water efficient turkey baster.

I have no idea what toilet paper dust is. I guess that's a vote for the premium brand.

I think you have nailed the essence of my lament. Indeed I do.

TP dust... I give the toilet paper a twirl around my two index fingers and voila... a very modest stack of TP to get that initial wipe, followed by the bidet, and a second TP stack to make sure its all clean and dry. The TP dust when we use the Costco rolls are noticeable in the air when that direct sunlight hits, it's on the TP roll hanger, as well as the rim of our potted plant just to the side. The TP dust may happen with all TP, but I certainly notice it a lot more when its a Costco roll.

I'm still all-in on Sam's Club TP.

 

[Marauder]

I noticed the Kirkland brand TP being much poorer quality about a year ago. We actually returned it and got a refund after partially using a couple of rolls. Since then, we've been buying Charmin whenever it's on sale at Costco.
