About this deal

This roll has more of an industrial feel, a little more of a “starched” and compressed look. The embossed pattern appears sharp and uniform, the edges sturdy and crisp. It’s horizontally striated in waves, much lighter in depth than Cottonelle’s signature ripples. Overlapping circle patterns add a clean and uniform look. The texture is slightly more papery than Cottonelle and Quilted Northern, giving it a stronger impression overall. As expensive as Charmin (at five cents a square foot), this three-ply roll feels weighty and strong 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.

Quilted Northern Ultra Plush® Toilet Paper with Sweet Lilac

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. I also ran the rolls through a number of objective tests to score them for strength and durability. To accomplish this, I rubbed one square of each roll against coarse surfaces, including a cast iron skillet and rough outdoor carpet. I took note of any piling, residue, or tears that were caused by a normal amount of pressure against the coarse surfaces. We think that Scott 1000 may be geared more towards commercial uses — that single ply thinness feels hauntingly familiar. Despite having to take more time to gather more sheets for a wipe, Scott 1000 performs reasonably well. It’s just nowhere near luxury or hardy. For those eco-friendly consumers, Scott 1000 is the only roll in the lineup that is FSC certified — a big plus in our book. How we selected According to the EPA, if everyone in the US swapped one single roll of regular TP for recycled TP, the US would save 470,000 trees, 1.2 million cubic feet of landfill space and 169 million gallons of water A more obscure factor, quality of perforation can make the difference between a speedy or frustrating experience. We tested perforation by tearing the sheets apart and grading the ease on a scale of one to five. Breakdown test

In terms of strength, it was only second to Cottonelle and Quilted Northern (both tied for first). It was also the second most opaque roll just behind Quilted Northern, indicating dense fiber construction. While we didn’t find that the single-ply construction bad when we doubled or tripled the number of sheets per wipe, Scott 1000 is a bit of an eclectic choice amongst the competition. It definitely wins in value and eco-friendliness, but is resolutely off-trend when it comes to the luxury game.

Quilted Northern Ultra PlushToilet Paper, 24 Mega Rolls = 96 Quilted Northern Ultra PlushToilet Paper, 24 Mega Rolls = 96

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 Angel Soft is as cheap as Kirkland Signature at about two cents per square foot, we get the sense that Kirkland Signature is a better value. However, our scores show that they are actually pretty even. Seventh Generation 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. Uses oxygen, ozone, sodium hydroxide or peroxide to bleach, instead of harmful chlorine gas or chlorine dioxide which creates carcinogenic dioxins Cottonelle takes the crown, narrowly beating runner-ups Quilted Northern and Charmin – Ultra Strong when we combined both lab tests and user surveys. Cottonelle – Ultra ComfortCare tied with Quilted Northern Ultra Plush in multiple categories like wet strength, absorption, dry lint and width, but user surveys pushed the final score over the top. Even though Quilted Northern beat Cottonelle in the lab tests, the lead in our user surveys tipped the scales in Cottonelle’s favor.Rubbing a single square of toilet paper over a cast iron pan helped us test for strength and durability. How We Tested Toilet Paper FSC Certified– Forest Stewardship Council certifies that toilet paper is made from “ responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social and economic benefits.” According to the Toilet Paper Encyclopedia, a whopping 84% of households prefer “premium” and “super premium” toilet papers. While more and more people concern themselves with environmental issues, the big brands still sell and rely on this preference for the softest stuff. 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.

The Best Toilet Paper of 2023, According to Doctors | livestrong

It scored only half a point below Angel Soft for comfort. Considering such a small margin, the payoff of saving trees and saving the environment from chloride bleach (and its resulting dioxins) is worth it in our eyes. Charmin – Ultra Strong came in second in our tester surveys, only a few points ahead of Quilted Northern. In our lab tests, it scored the highest average of both wet and dry lint tests, one of the most desired characteristics according to our testers. This continues the trend of our testers preferring strength over softness. 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. Surprisingly, it also scored the highest marks in the dry lint test. The wet lint test didn’t fare as well. The smooth face of the sheet along with the slight paper-like quality meant there was less to drag, until it was soaked with moisture.

Why You Should Trust Us

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.

It might be hard on older septic systems, but this is a good choice for those concerned with efficiency and performance strength Sustainability : Recycled paper is the most sustainable option for toilet paper, but you can also opt for bamboo rolls. These types of toilet paper didn’t perform as well as most premium brands in our evaluations for properties like softness, durability and absorbency, but they tend to dissolve easily and are better for the environment overall than standard toilet paper. What is irrefutable is the deforestation and toxic waste that results in the manufacturing of virgin paper. According to the EPA, if everyone in the US swapped one single roll of regular TP for recycled, the US would save 470,000 trees, 1.2 million cubic feet of landfill space and 169 million gallons of water. In addition, the chlorine dioxide bleaches used for virgin papers are far more toxic, releasing carcinogenic dioxins into the environment, known as one of the most toxic chemicals in the world.We would plant Angel Soft brand toilet paper firmly as a middle of the road brand. It received very average scores in almost all categories. The embossed texture looks sparse and crude next to Quilted Northern. Before toilet paper, each great society had their own method of wiping in the loo. In some places, only the rich could afford the luxury of using soft materials like wool, lace or hemp. For others, using one’s hand to wipe was not unusual. When and where you lived determined the types of materials available for this dirty duty (pun intended!). Save the cardboard toilet paper tube when you come to the end of your paper. If you don’t have any children or grandchildren in the home, you can donate your tubes to a nearby school or daycare center. The cardboard tubes are often used to make fun crafts, like cute animals, decorative binoculars and even gift boxes. Toilet-paper brand Marcal, known as an inexpensive budget brand, rebranded in 2010 to let everyone know that they have always been eco-friendly. They source paper from the “ urban jungle” of New York’s recycling program. Though being low-budget and environmentally friendly may have been a coincidence, we welcome it; however, it may or may not come at the cost of softness.
