Charmin Ultra Strong Toilet Paper

So, I know you probably all have your toilet paper situation figured out. You should. It's kind of a big deal. I've had mine figured out for years: Quilted Northern. I'm kind of picky about toilet paper and I stopped trying other brands once I found one I liked.  But the other day I was looking into having my toilet paper, diapers, detergent and other staples delivered to me through an Amazon subscription--and Quilted Northern wasn't on the subscription list . Free delivery and 30% off store prices is very enticing, so I went to the store and looked at the other options. One option was Charmin Ultra Strong (and by the way, if you are out of the loop, Double rolls are so yesterday. Mega rolls are IN). The thing I hate most about inferior toilet paper is when it falls apart and turns to dust as you use it.  I'd almost rather use one-ply, but not quite.  And "strong" sounds better to me than "ultra plush", because I know "ultra plush" leaves one looking like they are growing feathers out of certain areas.  I decided to give it a whirl (get it??). I felt a little strange loading a toilet paper into my cart that was labeled "ULTRA STRONG". I mean, how aggressive do you get with toilet paper? I didn't want people to think I actually NEEDED ultra strong, but there I was. I brought it home. I waited until an appropriate moment, and I tried it. I love it. It's not sand-papery, it's not too tough, it doesn't leave feathers, it doesn't leave lint, it's absorbent, it's soft, it's lovely. So if you're fed up with the same ole fodder, try this out. It's my new favorite.
