Toilet Paper: Charmin Ultra vs Scott vs Presto

An essential commodity for any living space is toilet paper. However, with so many brands out there that claim to do different things but are all doing the same job, it can be confusing. Picking the right toilet paper shouldn’t make you break your bank. So lets talk about 3 types of toilet paper that come in bulk (24 packs)

Charmin Ultra Soft Toilet – Cushiony Touch:

Price: $28.49 (original $29.99)

Softness: 2-ply

Sheets: 363 per roll

SA: 8/10

Charmin is known for being pricer than its competitors but the quality speaks for itself. Its super soft and extra absorbent. You will end up using less sheets than any other brand of toilet paper which pay end up saving you money in the long run. They claim it is equal to about 5 regular sheets which maybe a bit of an exaggeration but it definitely will last longer. A great splurge buy but not necessary.

Scott Tube-Free Toilet Paper:

Price: $13.29 (original $13.99)

Softness: 1-ply

Sheets: 275 per roll

SA: 7/10

Much cheaper than the Charmin Ultra but much lower quality. It only uses 1-ply which maybe require more sheets per use. In addition, it also comes with less sheets per roll but it is very eco-friendly. Without the tube in the middle, they cut the cost and lower the carbon footprint of the user. However, compared to Charmin, these sheets only claim be equal to 2 regular rolls of toilet paper. Some critiques of this product stems from the tubeless factor. Towards the end of the roll, it gets hard to pull. It also runs out fairly quick.

Presto! Ultra-Soft Toilet Paper:

Price: $20.45

Softness: 2-Ply

Sheets: 308 per roll

SA: 9/10

This is Amazon’s own brand of Toilet Paper and it is surprisingly very good. Costs less compared to Charmin Ultra but has does lack in the quality department. Each roll is claim to last as long as 4 regular rolls and leaves less lint behind than other brands. The reviews claim that you cant really tell the difference between these and the Charmin brand.

Recommendation:  The Amazon brand of Toilet Paper beat my expectations by a long shot. For a product from a company that never made toilet paper before, this particular product was pretty good. It soft like the leading brands and last just as long. The best part, it is cheaper too! So if you want to save on toilet paper, buy the Presto!
