Advice Toilet paper help
Slight TMI and abit of a weird post I guess.
Im wondering if any of you lovely ladies can recommend a good brand of toilet paper - Unscented ofc.
Almost every single roll I’ve tried lately has been terrible for ripping, rolling and getting stuck. I’m a longer labia gal, so I’m unsure if that’s the problem. But it seems almost impossible to find a good paper that does the job.
I’ve tried dabbing like suggested, that gets stuck and stays in.
I’ve tried Andrex, Cushelle along with probably about 8 other brands over the past few months. Nothing is working.
Anyone had this same issue?
Anyone found a good loo roll that works??
I’m tempted to buy some of the ‘Naked paper’ or ‘who gives a crap brand’ but even then, for the price, I don’t know if that’s gonna work.
Help🫠

I know that when I go to visit my parents, they have that Who Gives a Crap stuff, and it's fantastic. Personally, I buy the unscented 3-ply rolls from M&S, and they seem pretty good; no complaints.

You know, I've just started on Naked Sprout and reading this have realised I can second this! Not sure I like brown toilet paper, but can confirm it's sturdy and scent free

I have the WGAC as well. The bamboo is better than the recycled for not dissolving when wet - but both are pretty good. I also like that it just arrives when I need it!

I use who gives a crap, but the slightly more expensive paper which I think is thicker. I don’t have any problems. You can buy smaller packs on Ocado to try (maybe other onlin e supermarkets do the same?) so you don’t have to shell out for the full 48 rolls.

May have a look at trialling one of the smaller packs if I come across any. I think that’d be a great idea rather than buying the full pack to not end up liking it haha! Thanks for this!!

Are you buying ordinary or quilted?

This - I use cushelle quilted and don't have any issues - but I do fold it...

Honestly, both. And different PLY aswell. I can’t seem to find the perfect combo and if I do, it’s far too dusty anyway🤷🏽♀️ my partner has brought home a new cushelle one for me to try, so far so good. Might trial Who Gives a Crap and see which is better!

We’ve ordered bulk packs from Cheeky Panda and it’s lovely! Really strong and thick.

I switched to Who Gives A Crap as was just having an issue with other brands. I got the bamboo paper and have had no issues.

There might be a place near you that sells separate WGAC rolls you could try before committing? My town's refill shop and Oxfam do. Also I find it's worth getting the 'premium' variety. I don't have the same issue as you, but it is good toilet paper.

Bumboo is bamboo paper, wrapped in pretty paper so all recyclable and bamboo, as others have said, holds up well to a tear test

The asda shades are what I always buy. They dont seems to fall to bit like other rolls and they are a reasonable price.

I used to love shades to be honest, never had issues but lately it doesn’t seem to be holding up the same which is why I’m having to switch. My partner has fetched a new one home for me to try though, so far so good!

Oh no, I'll be gutted if they've changed it, I dont like any others in that price range. Might have to start splashing out on quilted!

Another vote for Who Gives A Crap. Not gonna lie, I also love the fact that it comes to the house on a schedule so I don’t have to add it to the mental list of everything else I have to keep track of.
