Advantages: Soft and smells good
Disadvantages: Expensive
I shop at Waitrose for most things as its within walking distance from our flat and I really trust the quality of their products. I usually get the Waitrose Essential Toilet roll, however occasionally I get the "posh" Waitrose toilet paper, that is if it is on offer. There are three "posh" Waitrose own brand toilet rolls on offer, the jojoba and aloe vera, which are thick, but not quilted like the cashmere toilet paper, which really is the poshest of the lot.
**Super Duper Quality**
The quality is really excellent - its thick, soft, strong and long. I can feel the quiltedness under my fingers and when you squash the sheets, they sort of bounce back to shapde. There is a geometric kind of pattern imprinted onto each sheet and each of the sheets are 3 ply, rather than the usual 2 ply, so really cushiony on your nose and neither regions, plus one sheet of paper with 3 layers is much more absorbent than one sheet with 2 layers. Each roll has 170 sheets and the roll is really quite chunky and bouncy too if you drop it, filling the toilet roll holder. This toilet role only comes in white, so it has no artificial colours.
**So What Does This Level of Luxury Cost?**
9 rolls = £4.79
4 rolls = £2.29
This is more than I would usually spend on toilet roll, one has to cut back somewhere and as long as its soft, absorbs and does its job I am happy on a day to day basis. Hence, I've only bought it when this luxary versions when it is on offer.
**Scent**
It does have a very lovely smell of cashmere, which is quite strong but subtle, refreshing and very clean smelling scent. I like that when I blow my nose I can smell the cashmere, and if I have a cold its good to be able to smell the cashmere after blowing my nose, knowing I am a little less blocked up. Also, the scent does waft from the toilet roll, so I can smell it when I am on the loo!
**Packaging**
The packaging is quite simple soft and stretchy plastic, with a draw string plastic handle on the 9 pack. The 4 pack is just wrapped in then same plastic, but with no handles. "Cashmere" is written on the front in large letters, which is the first thing you see on looking at product. The background of the packaging is a deep purple colour, with a subtle pattern of soft folded loo roll within the purple colour.
**Recycling**
Obviously it flushes away and disintegrates nicely to where we don't need to think about...however the outer wrapper is a low density Polyetheyene which is recylcable as is the cardboard tube of the inner core. Also the cardboard tube is good for making models with the kids!
**Summary**
I do really like this toilet roll, however I am not prepared to pay the extra 40p for a 4 pack and 80p for a 9 pack than the Waitrose "essential" which I usually use and more than does the job. However if on offer at a price near to my trusted "essential" roll then I definitely get it as a little toilet treat!
Summary: A luxury product
