Charmin Toilet Tissue

...purchased by Proctor and Gamble, Charmin surged into popularity in the US during the 60's and 70's becoming a market leader, thanks to a series of iconic advertisements. These advertisements featured actor Dick Wilson (also well known for his repeat roles in Bewitched as the drunk at the bar Darrin frequents) as the grocery manager Mr. Whipple. Poor Mr. Whipple was always having to ask the ladies to not stand about squeezing the Charmin. He would ...
...the release of the newest Charmin Ultra, which was softer and more absorbent, so fewer sheets were needed, so a new catchphrase was also devised, "With Charmin Ultra ... less is more." More cute woodland animal themes followed in the ads, with little cubs being added and so on. These are the ads we saw here in the UK, as shortly after being introduced to Canada, the ads and the product were both rolled out here to the UK with great success. I have ...

Review of Charmin Toilet Tissue

...to help others and so Charmin is what I will write about. Some of us call it toilet roll others less proper call it bog roll or some call it toilet tissue either way it's all the same thing but is Charmin any better than it's competitors. Charmin's name was first created in 1928 by the Hoberg Paper Company in Wisconsin. The toilet paper was described as charming and that is still what we refer to it as 78 years later. The first time I heard of ...
...it and got my free Charmin bear which I still have and it's the softest little thing ever. Anyway, the bear has stuck and still seems to be the major iconic Charmin figure. Like most people when they go to the toilet I hate toilet paper that is so cheap. It's either the kind that the top layer falls apart from the second when they are meant to be together to be thick. I also hate when I tear the paper off the roll and one half of the next square ...

Review of Charmin Toilet Tissue

Charmin Toilet Tissue ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bums Up I say.!!!! Background ~~~~~~~~~~ After being an avid Andrex user for the past 20 years I would have sworn to anybody that it was the softest longest roll. Along with the very cute dogs they advertise it with in 100% cuteness. Then one fateful day I went to my local Sainsbury’s only to discover no White Andrex on the shelf. Note: I am one of these sad people who have to have the correct colour ...
...had been going on about Charmin at the weekend but I had not taken much notice……. I spotted a nice thick pack 4 Double Rolls = 8 Single rolls………… Em I thought Would this last longer………………? It seemed a bit pricey at £3.29 on my weekly shop but always one to take a chance – lets try it I thought……….. Toilet Tissue Revolution ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I had on my loo roll a little of my old Andrex left so I put it to the softness and thickness touch ...

Review of Charmin Toilet Tissue

...a four roll pack of Charmin Ultra rather than my usual Tesco own brand. It was on offer for £1.59 for a four roll pack which didn’t seem a bad price so I went for it. Despite the adverts which would have you believe this is the softest thing since sliced bread (WHAT?? On your BUM??!) I didn’t find it particularly different to any others I’ve used. It’s white, has a cardboard inner tube, is 2 ply and has a sort of dotted embossed effect on it. I ...
...much the same – even the packaging is nothing special. However, if you’re that way inclined, you can save up the special tokens and send off for a cuddly Charmin Bear or Flamingo as featured on the TV adverts – maybe they will be softer than the toilet paper?! ...

He has got double pneumonia with a touch of pleurisy thrown in, as we all know is the case with the male of the species!

Review of Charmin Toilet Tissue

...to NETTO and spotted some Charmin Ultra Toilet Tissue for the bargain price of £1.50 for 4 rolls. Now I don’t know what this says about my family, but he bought me some as a Get Well gift. Most people buy flowers or chocolates when someone is feeling a little bit off colour; my dad buys me Toilet Paper! Still, for once in my life, I (and my bottom) could honestly say “That’s just what I’ve always wanted!” My father left, flushed with his success ...
...was time to test the Charmin Ultra! Charmin has been produced since 1928, in Green Bay Wisconsin, by the Hoberg Paper Company. According to their web-site (www.charmin.com) it was called Charmin because one of their employees described the design as “Charming!” The company was taken over by Procter & Gamble in 1957 and it has been a household name in the USA ever since. It’s taken off in the UK much more recently, but those who have tried it seem ...

Review of Charmin Toilet Tissue

...was a pack of four Charmin toilet rolls for £1.29 instead of the usual price of about £1.50. Since we are in the throes of packing everything ready to move I am trying to kick my usual habit of stocking up on things while they’re cheap and just buying them as we need them for the time being. So it came to pass that we were actually running out of toilet rolls instead of the usual situation of having enough put by to deal with a dysentery epidemic! ...
...Andrex 30.48 metres – Charmin 22.5 metres Total area of roll – Andrex 13.28 square metres – Charmin 9.18 square metres So maybe it IS worth looking at the ‘boring’ statistics after all…… Charmin is made by Proctor and Gamble UK and the address of their customer services department is: The Heights Brooklands Weybridge Surrey Freephone 0800 0281 029 In conclusion I would say that this toilet tissue is fine for now, but after reading the statistics ...

Review of Charmin Toilet Tissue

...with the green and white Charmin colours, and the picture of the big brown bear which appears in their adverts. There are also a couple of text boxes with 'Aloe Vera' written in them. The paper itself has a swirled pattern, which shows how thick the paper itself is. Texture The first thing you notice when you touch the paper is how soft it is, and spongy. I found that I could feel something, which I can only assume to be Aloe Vera, on my fingers ...
...bathroom with a roll of Charmin in his hand. After making sure I'd seen him (after all there is no point throwing a tantrum if there is no audience) he walked into the Kitchen and popped the roll in the bin. It took a while for me to get to the bottom (no pun intended) of what the problem was on this occasion. It turned out that whilst using the toilet roll, my boyfriend found that it was too slippery to use! For some reason, he likes to fold a piece ...

Review of Charmin Toilet Tissue

...packaged in. See the Charmin angel child? Doesn't that give you reassurance that I am soft and tender and just plain GOOD?" I tried to gouge out my eardrums with the empty cardboard toilet paper roll to try and make the Charmin voice stop. Note: When Charmin talks in my head, it's in a soft, pleasant voice - very polite and soothing. But Charmin only talks to me when I've not used it in a few days, so I guess it's back to the silent treatment for ...
...you want scented or aloe-treated, Charmin makes them as well. You can also buy the TP in larger quantities at most stores, including gargantuan "family size" packs that contain something like twelve rolls. Visit www.charmin.com for more information - and why in the hell do they have a Flash intro? What the hell could possibly be so exciting about toilet paper? ...

Review of Charmin Toilet Tissue

When Charmin toilet tissue first appeared at the supermarket, it was always priced around the £1.99 mark. As this was considerably more expensive than supermarket luxury type own brands, I didn't bother trying it. However, I noticed a few months ago that it had come down in price to £1.67 at my local supermarket, so decided to try it. And I was very impressed. I was brought up in the days when all public toilets used not a soft tissue, but a thick ...
...softness and absorbency stakes. Charmin comes in different colours, though some supermarkets only seem to stock white. Fine by me, as I only ever buy white anyway. It comes in a pack of four rolls, each roll having a two-ply thickness and 180 sheets. Apparently this makes each roll 22.5 metres long. This is shorter than Andrex but in line with many supermarket luxury/premium brands. You can also get Charmin in double roll size from some shops, ...

Review of Charmin Toilet Tissue

...latter I do use) made Charmin Ultra. I think that most people have seen the adverts for Charmin Ultra but just case you haven't they show a cartoon drawn bear or family of monkeys taking Charmin Ultra to use whilst they go to the toilet. Now I love my little luxuries and the best toilet paper is a must for me! I normally buy Andrex (those dogs on the adverts are so cute aren't they?) because they are the softest and the thickest and I really don't ...
...Now I have to compare Charmin Ultra to Andrex, remember this is all their fault they sent it to me! right to test them I have taken 5 sheets off each roll first impressions are that even though Charmin Ultra has a pretty pattern on it Andrex is a little bit longer. Andrex also seems stronger and is much thicker than Charmin Ultra. My one pet hate about toilet roll is when the two layers come apart and Charmin Ultra does appear to do this quite easily ...

Review of Charmin Toilet Tissue

...silk against the skin. Thankfully Charmin have realised that we don’t want to sand paper ourselves for a back side varnishing, we merely want to feel something soft against our body after using the toilet which will easily flush away. As for the “soft” part Charmin passes in every way. The paper is thick is well as exceedingly soft. The convexed designs on the paper are intended for visual stimulation as well as improving absorbency and looks most ...
...a small square section of Charmin will soak up 10 litres of spilt wine (as shown on advert) I imagine it to prove very effective absorbing liquids due to it’s thick and strong consistency. Summary A person visiting your home will judge your living room by your furniture - But when nature calls, they will visit the bathroom which is rated only by the quality of your toilet tissue! You can pick up a 4 pack of Charmin Toilet Tissue for around £1.70 ...

Review of Charmin Toilet Tissue

...caught my eye was the Charmin Toilet Roll. We get through loads of loo roll, so I try not to pay full price for it. At the moment One Stop are selling 12 single rolls, it should be 9 but you get 3 extra free, of Charmin Ultra for £2.99. There was not a choice of colours as the only one available was white. In the Charmin range there are Charmin single roll, Charmin double roll and Charmin Ultra single roll. They are all described as super soft ...
...absorbent and thicker. All Charmin products have an inscribed swirly pattern that Charmin calls their super soft micro-pocketed texture and is suppose to leave you comfortable and clean feeling. The verdict after using Charmin Ultra for a few days is that it is quite thick and absorbent, so you don’t have to use loads. Whilst it is not rough on the skin it is not as soft as some other toilet rolls I have used. I quite like the swirly pattern ...

Review of Charmin Toilet Tissue

...to share my annoyance of charmin with you all :) I have a large family and a low budget, " who doesn't !" , i hear you cry. Well exactly. So I often go for the offers in supermarkets. In fact more and more often in the past few years as I find more merits by shopping this way. In fact I now can't understand my old rash ways of buying everything brand name etc. If i were toiletry shopping i would spend a good £70-£100 on stuff for just a week ! And ...
...up a big pack of Charmin Toilet Rolls instead of my usual , Andrex (or others similar). Being very reasonably priced with an offer of 12 rolls for the price of 9 (around £3.80 I believe but cant find a reciept) I just HAD to give it a go. The results: Well on frequenting the toilet i pulled open the packet to pop one on the holder when i recoiled from the smell. (and not the one from the toilet ! It wasn't a number two!) Now I'm sure many people ...
