Colleen Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Good golly, just think of the dioxins in the production of chlorine-bleached toilet paper ~ just so Americans can wipe with ultra-white paper. Ridiculous! I buy Seventh Generation by the case, btw. Why? Because it's made from recycled paper and avoids the aforementioned problem as well.

Frankie Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Scott here, too. I've used it for years. It lasts. When I splurge and get Charmin, I regret it because it's gone so fast. Scott lasts and lasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colleen Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Apparently one of my fellow late-nighters doesn't care for my toilet paper contribution since I just earned some bad rep. But wouldn't the accompanying anon comment "walk softly" make more sense if it suggested..."wipe softly"?:D:D:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Trish in GA Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 (edited) We have been getting the large boxes of POM at Sam's Club since it seems to last a lot longer than equivalent amounts of other brands. However, we just had our septic tank pumped and were told that most brands that claim to be septic safe are really not. They recommended Scott brand so we are planning to try that.

Sure enough. We use the Marathon brand from Costco. Although I prefer that each roll wasn't individually wrapped, at least it is in paper rather than plastic like the Costco brand.

texasmama Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I like Charmin but will buy Cottonelle or Angelsoft, too. Really, any two ply soft brand will work for me. I refuse to use rough, one ply tp.:D Scott is one ply and is horrible. I refuse to buy it. I look for sales at the grocery store or CVS and get some good deals this way.

hsmom3tn Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Wow, I didn't expect so many different opinions! I'm surprised at how many people mentioned Scott TP. The only experiences I've had with Scott, reminded me of sandpaper. ;) That's what I was thinking as well. :D Another Northern user - double rolls.....biggest package available.... Regena This is what I prefer. Unfortunately, we're broke right now and had to buy some cheap, store brand TP. Sigh... I can't wait until we have a steady paycheck again. :tongue_smilie: P.S. - I can't believe I just read through a 7 page thread about toilet paper... and even contributed to it.

PinkInTheBlue Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I've bought Charmin Ultra for years and love it. A couple of weeks ago we discovered this house we've leased-with-option-to-buy is a septic tank! Yuck! I would never have guessed this great neighborhood was on tanks! HUGE affect on whether we decide to buy at the end of this. So...now we use Angel Soft and I really don't like it but it's "best" for septic tanks.

I think it's less the system and more how hard your toilets flush. Our toilets in North Carolina were *awful*, they were *always* getting clogged. I hated them!

Our toilets in North Carolina were *awful*, they were *always* getting clogged. I hated them! We do have the low water use toilets, but our septic system is only ten years old so perhaps it is doing well or is a good model or something...I don't really know. It has never clogged up in any way, though we do have three times a year checks by a professional on it. It's funny because we have four toilets and three are just fine but one always gets clogged. I have told the kids not to use that one for solid waste. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in KY Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Scott basic. I'm not one of these "I will never buy cheap TP" folks.

Just Me Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Another Scott fan here - we have tried others, and I always to back to Scott's. It just seems to be a better value to me, and the stiffness doesn't bother anyone in our family. The differences of opinion are funny to me!

Matryoshka Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I use Seventh Generation. Before we switched to recycled, I used to like Quilted Northern. I absolutely detest Scott (too thin and stiff) and Charmin (other extreme and leaves little pilly things all over - yuk!) - I just never seem to go for the popular choices :tongue_smilie:. Or, maybe I'm Goldilocks! Too hard - too soft - just right! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delaney Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 This is a funny question b/c when my sister gets married I am giving her and her DH a CASE of Charmin ultra strong!

KidsHappen Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I buy Charmin with the blue lable, ultra soft I think. My 18 yr. old liked the red lable which is ultra strong but she is gone so I don't have to buy it anymore. The 13 yr. old prefers Charmin basic so I buy that for her bathroom.

Our toilets in North Carolina were *awful*, they were *always* getting clogged. I hated them! I just had all my toilets snaked and he said there was no clogs (we use Charmin and I was concerned that my dds were flush tampons even though I have lectured them not too) but he fixed the toilet so that there was more water per flush so that it would flush stronger and therefore work better. Hopefully that will help. Honestly plumming has been one of the biggest issues since we moved into this house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kim in Appalachia Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 We buy the Aldi brand toilet paper. They have 2 different kinds and so I get the one-ply in double rolls. It lasts the longest and works well, not super soft though. I didn't know Aldi had a single ply. The only single ply I can get where I am is Scott's. If I buy 2-ply we end up with clogged toilets.:glare: I may have to venture to Aldi's. It's far from me, but I do pass it on some travels.
