Full review
Toilet paper. It's hardly an exciting subject for a review. I know you would all rather be reading a review on an exotic location, or a fun game or anything but boring old bog roll. However it is an essential of life. Where would we be without it?
This review is going to focus on Quilted Velvet produced by S.C.A Hygiene ,a German company who make all manner of hygiene products that are embarrassing to discuss but are much needed.
History
In ancient time's people used sponges as toilet paper. As recent as 1935 toilet paper was declared splinter free. It was only in 1942 two ply paper was invented.
Quilted Velvet is marketed as a luxury toilet paper. Their marketing slogan is fun for your bum. Fun toilet paper, that's a novelty. (How exactly is it fin? Does it play a tune when you wipe or what?? ). Due to this you pay a premium for comfy toilet paper. I am not too fussed about having super duper toilet roll, but Duskman insists it has to be quilted or triple thickness. He tries to test the softness in the packet. It is rather embarrassing having him feel up all the toilet paper packets just to make sure the loo roll is comfortable enough for his tender little botty! Don't get me wrong, I do like soft toilet paper. I hate the thin horrible scratchy cheapo stuff you get in public toilets and schools. That does hurt and I am not advocating that, but to me toilet roll is toilet roll and if it is semi soft and a pretty colour it does not matter to me what the make is as long as it is reasonably priced. . Why spend money on something as boring as toilet paper when you have nice food, ralcohol and beauty products instead.
The pack I purchased was a pack of nine rolls. You can also get them in four packs. I am not one to comment that much on packaging but it does have a nice comy handle so the pack is easy to carry home whilst you show the world you buy fairly posh bog roll.
The product specifications say that there are on average 192 sheets per roll; with each sheet being 139mmx110mm.The minimum roll length should be 26.7mettres. So that's a lot of toilet paper. The toilet paper is white. It also comes in champagne, pink, peach and violet. White is nice and flexible and does not clash with bathroom colour schemes!
The toilet roil is big and fluffy with little square dimples. On further examination it feels nice and soft. It also feels gentle on my bottom but I do not notice that much difference from a normal toilet paper such as Andrex. It is also fairly absorbent so you do not have to use as much of it compared to other toilet papers (I am really sure you wanted to know that). However I am not sure how environmentally friendly the actual toilet paper is. There does not seem to be any indication on if it is recycled or how much bleach and nasty chemicals are used in it.
Is it worth the money? I'm not sure how much it costs but I estimate about £3. It is a nice luxury but I still would prefer cheaper slightly less soft toilet paper, but my partner does not, so less pennies for nice interesting things.
