Customers have mixed opinions about the thickness of the toilet paper. Some find it very strong, thicker than the cheap stuff, and lasts longer than their usual brands. However, others say that it's still thin, fragile, and not the softest or strongest.

Great value for money

Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2013

I like Charmin toilet paper as it is soft, yet durable. I don't usually go for the fancier ones, as I find the "basic" ones do exactly what I want for the best value for money. I would recommend it over and over again!

Great buy, good thickness for older plumbing.

This is a great value if purchased through the subscribe and save option. Quick delivery. The item is packaged just as it would be in a store. The paper is thicker than the cheap stuff, but not too thick so it won't clog your plumbing lines especially for older homes. We live in a home built in the 1960s and have had no problem with it.

The best toilet paper.

Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2013

This is the best combination of softness and strength in a toilet paper outside of England that I have been able to find. I have tested the ones in Consumer Reports that I have in my area and they don't hold a candle to this one here. I ordered this on subscribe and save and saved over my grocery store. I get it every month and don't have to get it at the store. It saves on the room in my car! What a bargain.

Very flimsy

Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2013

I am a Charmin user and had hoped that this would be a bit cheaper. Well, it is cheaper, but, in this case, you really get what you pay for. It is a single layer, to start with, and just very fragile paper. I'm now back to my old Charmin and happily paying the difference!

Would not buy again

Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2013

Super small and narrow rolls. Tiny tiny!! Find them going quickly and replacing frequently, not what a busy mom Needs. Price seemed good but in hindsight not a good value at all. Only benefit was quick reliable shipping from Amazon right to my doorstep!

Buyer BEWARE

Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2013

Not real impressed with the product. It says "Double Rolls". I can't tell. They're more like single fluffy rolls, a little too fluffy. I live alone and I go through one roll every two days. Thanks Charmin but I'm going back to Scott. I will give them a thumbs up on the fluffiness. In my opinion, they trick the consumer into believing that the rolls are doubled but stamping large patterns into the tissue to fluff it up. That's just an observation. I received a free roll of this tissue as a promotion a few months ago. The free roll was very nice so I decided to purchase from amazon. They got me once, never again.

It's Charmin

Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2014

Who doesn't like Charmin? It was toilet paper, no problems with it, it does the job (hahaha). It's their basic "model" and works just fine, it's just as smooth and soft and absorbent but cheaper than their higher "models".

Great product

Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2013

Charmin Basic at the price that I paid was a great value. I loved the fact that I could get it on subscription, the problem with it, however, was that the subscription only lasted a couple of months and then they canceled. Would love for companies to offer stuff at subscription prices for longer than four months.
