What's the best own brand of loo roll?

[-]

PerLin107@reddit

This stuff is the GOAT of toilet rolls

[-]

bbgun24@reddit

By a country mile!!

Ran out a few weeks ago and picked up Asda shades. It was like tracing paper in comparison and we used that for years before moving to Kirkland.

[-]

Midnightraven3@reddit

Our whole family only use Kirkland, if anyone is suddenly low on supplies we all pitch some in until the next Costco trip. I hope they never change it

[-]

Zal_17@reddit

Wiping with a new and inferior brand, and you accidentally give yourself a prostate exam

[-]

corysphotos19@reddit

Costco is expensive.cheaper to get the 40 odd rolls in home bargains,

[-]

West_Guarantee284@reddit

I bought my dad some, instead of his usual extortionate charmin, and was personally offended when he didn't rate it as highly as I did.

[-]

DrElusive@reddit

Wonderful stuff. Perfect for covering in 50 shades of brown

[-]

DrElusive@reddit

Pardon me, Sir -- I believe your morale just popped out.

[-]

Therashser@reddit

Tesco luxury soft can be like sandpaper at times.

[-]

o_sooperstar_o@reddit

I use the Nikky brand for a few years now. Added bonus for smelling nice too.

[-]

Spottyjamie@reddit

I buy andrex, its always discounted in one of the supermarkets or prime

[-]

Professor-Woland@reddit

Tesco coconut flavour is my go to, soft enough, decent purchase, nice little ambient scent

[-]

fastestman4704@reddit

Yeah your butt can actually taste things.

[-]

LIRFC@reddit

You taste it before? Don't you..? Don't you!?

[-]

YarrlieThePirate@reddit

Has anyone ever noticed a difference between any? (Barring single ply)

I don’t think my arsehole is sensitive enough for feeling a difference of softness etc

Obviously different for the ladies but if I lived alone I’d use the cheapest stuff available… all does same job

[-]

maxmarioxx_@reddit

Used to get Andrex but then l think they changed and made the sheets too thin. I changed to Cushelle which l find super soft and proper thickness.

[-]

Flaky-Walrus7244@reddit (OP)

So you're on of the multi-millionaires referred to in the OP

[-]

maxmarioxx_@reddit

Sorry l didn't read the full post. I just wanted to throw Andrex under the bus for enshitifying their toilet roll. 😅 Pissed me off.

I also buy M&S so hopefully that makes me a better, more grounded, millionaire.

[-]

nickymoo@reddit

Tesco used to do “double rolls” but they’ve replaced them with “long rolls” so I use long rolls as there’s more paper on them

[-]

I buy these and I have a wicker holder to keep spares in. When they brought out these double rolls, I had to wedge them in. Now putting the so-called ‘long rolls’ that replaced the double rolls is like throwing a sausage down the high street. And they’re more expensive.

[-]

nickymoo@reddit

Sorry, I should have stated I get the long roles as there is more paper on them compared to normal rolls, as double rolls are no longer available.

[-]

Karl-Pilkinghorn@reddit

Yes me too, I bought the double rolls and they’re the ones that were massive. They sneakily replaced these with the ‘long rolls’ - same packaging, same number of rolls, but hiked the price up. Shrinkflation and enshittification… literally.

[-]

AnythingPeachy@reddit

My mother in law does regular pilgrimages to Waitrose just to buy their toilet roll.

[-]

GoDeathValley@reddit

How regular is she?

[-]

remmy84@reddit

Nicky home bargains. Lived in India and would send boxes of this stuff across. It’s awesome

[-]

Additional-Switch912@reddit

We use who gives a crap and Amazon basics when I run out of who gives a crap till the next delivery

[-]

Flaky-Walrus7244@reddit (OP)

NOT a shop's own brand!

[-]

Bitter_Tradition_938@reddit

Are you trying to find the best bog roll or doing a marketing study for the shop that employs you?!

[-]

Flaky-Walrus7244@reddit (OP)

No, but the question was about a shop's own brand, so answering with other things is ot relevant to the question

[-]

Bitter_Tradition_938@reddit

So marketing study. Ok.

[-]

evenstevens280@reddit

What's wrong with having things delivered?

[-]

whodunnit20@reddit

It’s not about having them delivered, the poster asked about best Own Brands. This is the shops own make, so like Tesco, Asda, Lidl etc

[-]

Bitter_Tradition_938@reddit

Amazon Basics is a shop’s own brand…

[-]

Koda614@reddit

Costco's Kirkland Signature brand is by far the best. Second place is a battle between Co-op and Waitrose own brand - Which these two may well be identical given the feel and pattern etc. of the rolls. Very good quality but definitely behind Costco.

[-]

txe4@reddit

Izal, obviously.

It’s medicated.

[-]

Flaky-Walrus7244@reddit (OP)

NOT a shop's own brand!

[-]

Bitter_Tradition_938@reddit

Why, does it have health issues?

[-]

txe4@reddit

You’d have health issues if I stuffed you up my arse tbf.

[-]

BovrilBullets@reddit

Izal Medicated Toilet Tissue

The best brand is Who gives a crap

[-]

Competitive-Fact-820@reddit

I tried Tesco Luxury Soft on a recommendation from here and I now won't buy anything else.

I do have some Andrex that dates back to the Great Loo Roll Shortage of 2020 - only a 9 pack but we have 5 left as I really don't like it.

[-]

melonaders@reddit

I agree on the Tesco Luxury Soft but it has to be the quilted version!

[-]

WormsEatShit@reddit

Who Gives a Crap.

[-]

TheDuraMaters@reddit

I used to swear by WGAC but the last box I got was terrible - shredded badly. Did we just get a dodgy box? I cancelled our subscription after.

[-]

MountainMuffin1980@reddit

Did you let them know? We've been getting it for years with no issues and we'll likely never stop as it's great

[-]

TheDuraMaters@reddit

I really should have! I’ll give them another go.

[-]

MountainMuffin1980@reddit

Their customer service is fantastic, just for future reference. We had a courier leave a box in the rain and the top rolls got soaked. They sent us a minibox to replace them all.

[-]

PolarLocalCallingSvc@reddit

We've been using them for years, still do. Can't say we've had that problem!

[-]

WormsEatShit@reddit

Our last box was delivered about a month ago and no issues, never had an issue tbf.

[-]

whodunnit20@reddit

This brand is ridiculously expensive.

[-]

hazbaz1984@reddit

So expensive.

[-]

WormsEatShit@reddit

The anus deserves a little pampering.

[-]

ShitBritGit@reddit

I've seen that on the internet.

[-]

-dommmm@reddit

I've seen these... can any other commenters vouch? Also does it work out cheaper?

[-]

widdrjb@reddit

We use it, nice and soft. It's also very tightly wound, so you get a lot of sheets per roll.

We're about ¾ of the way through the last box delivered in early September. However, we're not using it as much since I had an aftermarket exhaust fitted. The factory one tried to kill me, so a nice chap put a robot up there and fixed me.

[-]

[-]

tjl694@reddit

Tesco Coconut ftw. Tried the Aldi version and definitely not as good

[-]

jakeyb21@reddit

Asda shades is better than Andrex tbh.

[-]

scottishsilversurfer@reddit

M&S

[-]

DiskBytes@reddit

Kirkland by Costco.

[-]

AshEllisUFO@reddit

Home bargains "peachy", its like 40 rolls for £6 or something and its decent, 2 cases pretty much last a year

[-]

Competitive-Fact-820@reddit

Going there tomorrow so I might try it.

Presuming I have room in my trolley after my adult son has loaded up on "pint" cans of Irn Bru

[-]

txe4@reddit

That stuff is good shit. And good shitting.

[-]

Jesterstear99@reddit

The Little Duck So Soft quilted that Farmfoods sell: 5 or 6 of the 18 roll packs for £20.

[-]

Silent_Doubt3672@reddit

Either asda shades or aldis long lasting rolls tbh, andrex is crap.

[-]

BeardyWeirdoMc@reddit

We buy the Costco Kirkland Signature 3 ply, £23 for 10 rolls of 4, works great for our family

[-]

donkey-oh-tea@reddit

If youve got space to store like 120 at a time i recommend splesh.

[-]

Flaky-Walrus7244@reddit (OP)

Is that a shop's own brand?

[-]

HarB_Games@reddit

No, it's cushelles budget brand I believe

[-]

donkey-oh-tea@reddit

No u order online - if youve got storage space it works out quite cheap

[-]

peony_beony@reddit

Waitrose own brand is the best I have tried.

[-]

Czubeczek@reddit

I buy in bulk online. Alot cheaper for 3 ply paper compared to prices in the shops.

[-]

Ryledra@reddit

I like the Lidl Florays Quilted

[-]

Speedbird1A@reddit

Waitrose quilted is good.

[-]

Professional_Snow576@reddit

Bidets should be normalized in this country, we are literally made fun of intentionally for being covered in shit. if you put your hand in dog shit, would you only wipe it off with a paper towel?

[-]

hazbaz1984@reddit

Lidls 3 ply premium stuff.

Not the quilted. The blue package.

Cheaper than most. And prevents hands from getting covered in faeces.

It’s a winner.
