Customer Reviews of Scott Toilet Paper, 1000 One-Ply Tissues - 20 Rolls
Customer Review: excellent bath tissue even if a bit rough for some people
Summary: 4 Stars
Scott makes a great toilet tissue: it seems that I get longer use out of a roll than when I tried other brands such as Charmin. The roll is thick but it's easy to store in the 20 roll plastic bag it comes in or you can unpack the twenty rolls and store them in various bathrooms or closets around your home.
As at least one other reviewer has noted, there is a slight trick to starting the roll. The actual roll of toilet tissue comes wrapped in paper. Therefore you first unwrap the roll of toilet paper; and when you unwrap that roll, the first few sheets of the toilet paper are stuck to the rest of the roll by a very mild glue. Nevertheless, I have had to carefully examine the darn thing to decide where the roll begins and where to pull away the first few sheets of toilet tissue. Ay!
On the bright side, however, this toilet tissue is easy on your toilet pipes and I've never had a clog. Don't use too much or you WILL get a clogged toilet--but you'll be able to use it well intuitively.
Naturally toilet paper never "goes stale" or "wears out." If you can catch a sale on this item and you like it, stock up!
The only real drawback which turns some people off is that the actual toilet paper itself is not as soft as some other brands--like Charmin. This is totally a matter of personal preference. I have used both and both get the job done. However, I noticed that Charmin and similar ultra soft brands seemed to go faster than Scott tissue did. Scott is not too rough for me; but I will take off one star because of this issue to make this a four star review.
Overall, Scott toilet tissue is well worth a try, especially when you get it on sale. Try some today--I hope you are satisfied with it!
Customer Review: EXCELLENT VALUE & PERFECT FOR SOME WHILE A LITTLE TO RUGGED FOR OTHERS,
Summary: 4 Stars
YES SCOTT'S IS THE MOST POPULAR BATHROOM TISSUE SINCE TIME BEGAN -- BUT
THE "BOUNTY" of Bathroom Tissue: BUT THIS STD. FORM IS A LITTLE ROUGH
This "Scott Bathroom Tissue" is strong, very long lasting, and a terrific value. There is, however, one rub -- it is a little rough for this application, especially for frequent usage [which is why they recently introduced a "Scott's Extra Soft" product]. "Charmin Ultra" would be a better choice if you need extra softness and some store brands such as Kroger, Shop-Rite, and Wal-Mart's "Great Value" are comparable value-specific picks.
Scott's has always been considered the "Gold Standard" for the bathroom, but its superiority has been challenged increasingly in recent years. If you still like this product, there is no reason to change. However if your needs now require a softer tissue, try "Scott's Extra Soft" or "Charmin Ultra".
I have recently noticed as have other reviewers, that the glued end of the paper roll that must be pulled apart in order to start the roll seems very hard to detach. This seems to be a new phenomenon and leads me to believe that things have changed at Scott and not for the better. Maybe it is just a fluke. Maybe it is no big deal. And maybe the Scott Bathroom tissue isn't quite as good as it used to be. Maybe it is rougher and coarser than before. Just maybe. In the meantime, however, I am NOW using "Charmin Ultra" after 40 years of continuous Scott patronage.

Customer Review: If you buy 1 ply, you get 1 ply

Scott Bath Tissue, White, 20-Count Packages (Pack of 2)
Ok, so my first reaction is not going to be my first comment. Generically speaking, if you're a muscular 200 pound man you probably should be using something other than 1 ply TP. I was required to insert basically any product ID, but when it displayed both the "New" and "Used" price, I just had to scratch my .- ... ... I mean head. Used? 1-Ply?
Bottom line, I remember accidentally buying 1 ply TP at a little grocery store in Moss Beach California about 15 years ago. I didn't even know they made 1-ply toilet paper. Fortunately, it was only one roll cause a little out of the way store like that is not cheap. My girlfriend didn't stop laughing for 2 weeks.
Enjoy,
Marty
ps) Don't ever sell real estate. That $309K house in 1997 became $1.6 in 2000 cause the Ritz Carlton broke ground in Half Moon Bay. Think I'll go out and buy some 1 ply TP.
Customer Review: The incredible, shrinking toilet paper
Summary: 1 Stars
I've been using Scott Toilet paper for years and years because I hate changing the rolls all the time and with 1,000 sheets per roll it lasts a long time. Or at least it used to. When I put the first roll from the package I just purchased on the toilet paper holder, it looked like my paper holder had gotten a lot wider. There was more space on either side of the toilet paper than there was on the last roll. I checked the screws fastening it to the wall, and they hadn't been removed or changed. So I got the empty cardboard roll from the last roll that was in the wastebasket and held it next to the new roll. It shrunk by about half an inch! I checked the upstairs bathroom where we still had a half a roll of the last package, and sure enough, it was narrower.
The package still says "1000 sheets per roll" and makes no mention of the new, compact, mini size paper. No discounted price for the more "efficient" size either. I think it's time for a switch to another brand.
Customer Review: Ordering toilet paper online is best left for the severely constipated.
Summary: 5 Stars
Nonetheless, I will detail my experience with this product. I like that it's called "The Common Sense Roll." Previously, I'd tried "The Impractical Fool Roll" and found that wiping my nether regions with silk was simply indulgent and expensive. As for this product, I prepared for an extensive evaluation by first eating 12 Taco Bell Bean and Cheese Burritos with a Chocolate Ex-Lax shake. One "Common Sense" 20-pack and 6 hours later, I must confess that I would've been hard pressed to tell the difference between this product and any other, or even sandpaper, so grateful was I that my colonic nightmare was over. And rather than thinking to formulate an opinion on this product, I immediately logged on to Amazon to search for butthole ointments.
Have a nice day!
