Advantages You finger doesn't get covered, your bum doesn't get scratched and its a wrapper you can proud off in your toilet. Lets face it, we dont want tesco value on show now!

Disadvantages bit more pennies

Bottom swiping - or should I say wiping, that's a real sensitive subject isn't it? Come on be honest , no one likes to admit to doing it, no one likes talk about it unless you've had a few and its not really a conversation piece either at your posh mate's dinner party. However, we all have to do it, sit on the throne, even her Majesty, but I expect her pooh is blue and not the common brown.
So I wonder what toilet paper she uses …….. hmmmm, bet it isn't Aldi's special or Wilkinson's latest deal on BOGOF. If its not from the Duchy of Cornwall or some posh shop in Knightsbridge, then I can imagine her wiping away her cares with a roll of Andrex.

We all know of Andrex, its been around for more years than I care to remember, my mother used it when she was knee high to a grass hopper and her mother before that. It's a brand you can trust and it won't let you down, or won't let your finger down , (nothing worse than piercing through a sheet of loo roll with your little pointy). Be honest its happened to us all!

I have tried countless loo rolls, those on offer especially. I always come back to Andrex, especially now as they have brought out the new version of Andrex Quilts, nothing seems to perform as good as these.

So what is so special ………?

Please don't get me wrong, all Andrex are good. They always seem to have many new off spring, the normal sheet, the embossed, the aloe vera and the honey.
I think, this time the quilts are the best of the bunch.
Every individual sheet has three layers which are fused into one chunky "quilt" or sheet. They measure 13cms x 11 cms which is boxed standard but it's the thickness that does the trick here.
Each sheet still has the perforations (bit useless if they didn't, you cant exactly trim off a sheet at a time when you are having a dump). The perforations need a bit more effort to part them, but in this case when you do tug away , the sheets don't fall apart in one heap or come away, they remain intact.
The new quilts have only 160 sheets per roll unlike the normal Andrex which has 240 sheets. Its still cost effective though as you only need two sheets for us girls to mop up any drips on no 1's and only 4 for each swipe at your no 2's. The normal andrex needs a good 4 sheets to dry up any spills and at least 8 to get a good angle at your rear end.

Any Smell ………?

Not on the quilts, just the smell of cotton. Andrex do an Aloe Vera toilet tissue which isn't as soft but gives off a bit of smell as you swipe away. To be honest, having a scented toilet roll doesn't give your bum a "just washed" fresh feeling.
If you want to clean yourself up properly and don't have a bidet, then Andrex produce a wet toilet tissue that comes in a tub, a bit like baby wipes. At nearly £2.49 this all adds up the pennies though and if you are on a tight budget, you do without or you pinch your kids "Kandoo's".

The squashy test.

The sheets are bouncy but if you give the Andrex quilt roll a squeeze, it doesn't bounce back half as quick as the regular Andrex.
