Quilted Northern Ultra Plush® Toilet Paper, 6 Mega Rolls = 24 Regular Rolls, 3-ply Bath Tissue

Product Information

A single roll of toilet paper can [last up to 5 days] in an average-sized household. Most consumers use 8.6 sheets, per use. This adds up to 57 sheets, per day, and 20,805 sheets, per year. Each person in your home will use an average of 42 two-ply rolls per year or 21 rolls of one-ply. This is an important distinction from regular toilet paper, which uses a much more toxic and environmentally damaging chemical: chloride dioxide. After this processing, the rest of the procedure is the same as regular toilet paper. Recycled paper Thermal paper is coated with a dye and developer that “prints” without ink. The BPA in the developer gets mashed and mixed together with other paper sources to form the tainted recycled pulp that is processed into new products. Value: Do you feel like you’re getting a good deal? Anything from roll size, sheer size to absorbency may affect your perceived value.

Softness is of the most important factors consumers take into account when choosing a brand. We graded for softness on a scale of one to five through direct touch. Perforation test We were pleasantly surprised to find out that Scott 1000 is FSC-certified, meaning the manufacturing process is monitored for sustainable practices. If you or anyone in your home has sensitive skin, you’ll also need to look for toilet paper that is soft and non-irritating. Unscented brands are a good choice, as they don’t contain any chemicals, such as fragrances, that may cause a reaction in some people. BPA, Dioxins, Formaldehyde?: The truth is all toilet paper contains trace amounts of harmful chemicals due to processing. However, some are worse than others. Recycled paper products contain trace amounts of BPA, though handling paper receipts will expose you to one thousand times more BPA. Experts still endorse recycled toilet paper over virgin toilet paper, which releases highly toxic dioxins into the environment due to its bleaching process.One of the most common sizes for a sheet of toilet paper is 4.5 x 4.5 inches. That said, the size of a sheet of toilet paper is shrinking, and you can now frequently find them up to a half-inch shorter. We graded each brand on the opacity of a single sheet, which gave us an indication of the denseness of fibers. Wet strength test

Chlorine Free” – Rodale’s Organic Life warns us that this is an empty label and likely means that the paper is PCF, or more likely ECF. Just because chlorine gas wasn’t used in processing, doesn’t mean it is free of chlorine derivatives. The crowd favorite is Cottonelle – Ultra ComfortCare with a total average score of 4.2. Silk’n Soft took second place surprising us with a score of 3.8 just ahead of Charmin – Ultra Strong at 3.7. Update: Since we reviewed tp in 2018, many brands have entered the market with 100% bamboo toilet paper such as Reel Paper, Who Gives A Crap, Tushy, and Caboo to name a few. As do many eco-friendlier options, bamboo tp carries quite the premium compared to standard tp. Though all the brands highlight it being a sustainable option, there are subtle differences in sheet size, roll size, with one brand even offering an unbleached option. We’ve tested a few of these but given the current shortage of tp, we will have to wait to give you a full update.Popular brand Charmin recently came up with “the Forever Roll,” a gigantic roll of toilet paper the company claims can last up to 2 or 3 months. The Forever Roll is likely designed for people who rent and live in tight spaces, as it is advertised as a “space saver” and is sold in two sizes: the 12-inch multi-user roll and the 8.7-inch single-user roll. Despite being touted by Charmin as a “space saver,” we found that the Forever Roll and its accompanying kit make an apartment bathroom feel crowded, and recommend simply buying in bulk for a traditional household.
