Charmin Basic Bathroom Tissue
By Karen on
On my last trip to Walmart for bathroom tissue, I couldn't find my favorite brand in stock.I like Charmin Ultra Soft, but alas, there were none to be found.So I decided to try Charmin Basic.I thought that if I liked the Charmin Ultra Soft, the Basic would be OK too.
Well, I really don't like it very much, and my husband agrees with me.I have the 12 big roll pack for $5.22, and the tissue is not as good as the Ultra Soft that I like so much.The tissue itself is thinner and not as absorbent.It falls apart more easily.I guess that's why they call is Basic.
This tissue does have the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval, and it isn't bad, I just have been spoiled by the Ultra Soft and have not been able to find anything else that compares, in my eyes.For basic bathroom tissue, it is OK, but I will be glad when I'm finished with it and can go back to my Ultra Soft.Hopefully, when I need bathroom tissue again, Walmart will not be out of my brand.When they are out of it is the only time I find myself purchasing something else, out of necessity.
I usually purchase Kroger brand TP, but when my mother-in-law visited, she blessed us with a mega pack from Sams Club of Charmin Ultra Soft - WOW - I never thought there could be so much of a difference. I think the basic would actually be better than the Kroger, even if it's not as good as the Ultra Soft :-) Thanks for sharing.
