I think that it's the medicated smell that sold me this paper: like clean hospitals and old-fashioned lavatories. The nostalgic rustle of each sheet evoked memories but actual usage is a different story. I guess we've all been spoiled by Charmin and Andrex (neither of which has that evocative medicated smell) but the experience of the Izal got me thinking "should I have scrunched it or folded it?" Neither seemed to work satisfactorily, and the folding proved a complete disaster. But life in the 40s and 50s seemed a lot happier than today and, if the Izal contributed to this in some way, then I'll keep trying... It's good that Izal is available in both flat-pack and roll forms. It's possible to buy attractive porcelain flat-pack holders on eBay. Overall, I provide both Izal and Charmin in my guest toilet. No prizes for guessing which enjoys the most use. But, not surprisingly, it's the Izal that provokes the most comment!
