There was a thread a while ago discussing brands of toilet paper, and some of us mentioned that we use Costco's Kirkland brand. So I was interested when I heard that it is, in fact, their top selling item!

yeah, not surprised at all...but it sucks as toilet paper. At least for me. It's affordable, individually wrapped and comes is a huge pack.
Rarely plugs toilets because it falls apart very easily, not so good for wet wiping, and leaves lots and lots of "dust".

I used it for a while until it changed in the consistency/formula.

Mind you, most toilet papers break down fairly easy. Good for septic tanks, etc

ahah it made me laugh! I never bought anything at tesco because I was living mainly on my own without a car so carrying like 50 rolls of toilet paper get some attention!

But it doesnt surprise me as, aside from us having UC, poeple eat way more than poeple so they must mmmm well more than before aha!

I still think the best toilet paper is a bidet. Water cleans properly and doesnt irritate the delicate skin down there!

UGH, I made the mistake ONCE of buying the Kirkland brand, never again....extra wide charmin ultra soft is the way to go!

My parents shop at Costco, I think its a fine brand of TP, but if you go to costco, they also have TP with aloe ;)

Don't forget to grab some of the Kirkland Baby Wipes, LOL... It's nice to have a pack of these close by for that extra added cleanup when needed. turn

I think thats exactly what I meant! They have Aloe wipes, which sound kind of cool, but I never felt like carrying a huge box of these things to the registers, heh.

They work quite well, pick up a box, you won't be disappointed. I think there's two types: Unscented Baby Wipes made with Tencil fiber, and a general all purpose wipe with the aloe. Either way you can't go wrong. Speaking of the almighty Costco, the CNBC special is airing now. Enjoy!

Ha! I was once also duped by Costco Kirkland toilet paper..now I get the Charmin brand they sell there and its great. I actually got a compliment on it from a relative who was using it to blow his nose! I decided not to tell him why I buy the 'good' stuff.

I bought the extremely large pack of costco tp as well - I don't like it. Not thick enough for my needs! However, we do use it at our camper, where it's good for the septic system.
