Wooba Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 When buying my first load of items after moving here I bought a big package of Kleenex toilet paper. Not knowing the local brands I went with this because it's a trusted brand where I came from. Turns out to be a mistake. It's pretty terrible. Mercifully it's almost finished. So what brands do the members here recommend? Sent from my LG-H990 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicF Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Quilton. You can buy 20 for $10, which makes it pretty cheap but when ever I've bought anything else my youngest son has complained so much I had to go back and buy more Quilton and use the other stuff up in the onsuite.

Skani Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I'd second Quilton. Often I find the triple length ones are very cheap when comparing the "per 100 sheet" price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackToLife Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I loathe that Kleenex Cottonelle rubbish. Shredded badly and was, quite frankly, rubbish. Quilton is good, as is the Coles own brand 3 ply ($9 for 24 rolls). In fact, that is my preferred option. If there is an Aldi nearby, their Confidence 3 ply loo paper is also very good. I think the moral of the toilet tissue saga is: go for 3ply and you can't really go far wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calNgary Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Coles homebrand ,extra long 3 ply rolls or Quilton i have found are about the best. Cal x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Coles own brand here. There is nothing like the range of loo roll here as there is in the UK. Its a pretty small range (which IMHO isn't a bad thing, you don't need 27 different colours or triple ply quilted really) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as it's not that awful Tracing paper stuff we had at primary school I'm ok! Lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AussieMum Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Agree that Cottonelle is rubbish - falls apart, clogs the toilet and leaves a layer of "dust" everywhere. A year or so ago we switched to Who Gives a Crap and love it - it looks like el-cheapo but is fantastic. https://au.whogivesacrap.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wooba Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 I've given Quilton a go and it's very nice. It's what cottenelle is like in Canada! I may try the others recommended in the future.. thank you.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you buy the recycled paper or the bamboo variety? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooba Posted January 19, 2017 Author Share Posted January 19, 2017 For what it's worth, I've heard that Kirkland brand toilet paper is excellent. This is the Costco brand and I believe is their #1 selling product. I don't live close enough to a costco to buy it, but if anyone is I'd love to hear your opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elderberry Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 It's funny the things you need to find out when you get here! I've also been buying Quilton, but I think I will try Coles own brand next time to see how it compares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A pack of 48 lasts more than 3 months. Works like it's supposed to. The only issue is that you need to have a large amount of storage space to accomodate your purchases 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luisa Cannon Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I use Sorbent and I would recommend this brand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeralBeryl Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Goodness this is a real first world problem isn't it. Be grateful you have a flushing loo and don't have to dig a hole in the ground. Newspapers are good although you are sometimes left with a black arse. I brought a roll of cheap homebrand the other day as an emergency roll. My poor old bottom is chaffed now. Terrible stuff.
