Charmin Toilet Tissue

Interestingly enough, paper is first noted in use for after toileting in the 6th century, when a turkish scholar wrote about it during a trip to China. They did not make paper just for this purpose, but a contemporary to the times Chinese scholar and official wrote that he dared not use any piece that contained the name of the sages nor any parts of the works of their Five Classics. Other than that, recycling into toilet paper seemed to be the okie dokie thing to do. It was not until the 14th century that the Chinese actually produced toilet tissue paper, but I doubt we would recognise it as such as it was produced in a large sheet that measured two by three feet.

No, this isn't a newly discovered Beatrix Potter classic. It is a sad tale about a bottom in distress and a Toilet Roll in shining armour. ~~~THE BACKGROUND. Imagine if you can (though you may not want to!) a poor sore bottom. A bottom that happened to belong to me! It's not a nice story, but one which I'm sure many of you can identify with. I had an upset stomach and was feeling pretty lousy. Consequently my toilet and I were on intimate terms. These frequent, and very unwelcome, runs to the lavatory began to take their toll and my delicate little posterior was uncomfortable, red and sore. Ahhh! All together now! My dad went to ...  Read the complete review

Charmin toilet tissue has incomparable 'wet strength' which is why, although it's relatively expensive, these days I always buy it. It's not cheap - around the £4 mark for 9 rolls, but as is the case for almsot all 'premium' (ie. not the shop's own brand) toilet tissues, there's almost always some kind of promotion for it running somewhere. Buy 12 rolls for the price of 9; buy a block of rolls the size of a bale of straw for a fiver, that sort of thing. Yes, I understand they sell it at 'Lidl' now at (lots of rolls) for £5 which is an offer I must look out for the next time I'm doing my discount Germanic shopping. As to my ...  Read the complete review

I am someone who likes to go cheaply when it comes to shopping, but I have to admit I'm a bit of a loo paper snob. It's not that I want a brand name or anything, it's just that, well, my bits prefer not to be bothered with inferior quality papers that are harsh and don't wipe well if ya know what I mean! For me Charmin Loo Paper offers a really good combination of decent quality and value for money. No, it's not cheap at around £5 for 16 rolls, but it's not crazy expensive either like some papers (Andrex for example). The value for money bit comes in because once you've spent your £5 you do know that the rolls will last a decent length of time. This is mainly ...  Read the complete review

You might well be thinking to yourself "What is there to review about toilet paper?" or "I know what toilet paper is and how to use it, why do I need to read a review?" Well surely we all want to make sure we give ourselves the comfort we deserve, and sometimes it helps to separate the rough from the smooth! And smooth is the category that this toilet paper falls into. We had been buying Asda's own, which was generally ok, but then we saw Charmin on offer. 16 rolls for a Fiver - for some reason it seemed like a bargain and a treat at the same time. So the packet we got was 16 rolls but it does also come in different sizes. As I ...  Read the complete review
