Does the Job - Softly

I have used this for years as it is the softest of the recycled toilet paper I have ever found. Some people don't care about that, but lots do, and if you're one of the people who can't figure out why - well use your imagination!

I like the bright white color, also, and the fact that it is whitened without chlorine. It doesn't smell like perfume. Plus it is reasonably priced. However, I do go through a roll pretty fast.

I called the company and asked them why they don't put more paper on per roll. It turns out they do - they have a new double roll which has about twice the amount of paper on it (352 sheets) and it is a thicker, more premim paper. When I asked why do they even make the stuff with just 198 sheets, they said it is a standard economy size that fills a cash flow niche. Huh? Meaning for people who need to go home with toilet paper tonight, but have limited cash flow to buy bigger rolls, even if that is a more efficient way to buy, because they have to go home with milk, bread and eggs tonight, also.

Who knew?

Did Jenn not read my post? The 352-count double roll is more expensive because there is more paper per roll and it is a thicker paper. If you can afford it, great. If you have a cash flow crunch and still want to buy... more »

Jenn did read your post, thanks for asking. My point is that by "filling a cash flow niche" - they are still creating more expense and waste. They could do all 352 sheet rolls of both standard and premium paper... more »
