If I go into my attic I will find about 8 different brands, and the only one that I can remember the name of is babysoft.

    The weirdest part about the Charmin bears is that there's 3 completely separate yet strangely similar families of toilet paper obsessed bears. Red bears who like stronger stuff. Blue bears who rub the soft stuff on their face. Then brown bears for the rest. Either that or the entire family changes color based on the toilet paper currently in their house. I hate those bears.

    So for the Scott brand you said "there's no practical use for this" because honestly it does seem awful, but FUN FACT it is the top recommended brand for homes with septic systems because it will actually dissolve in the septic tank instead of turning into a big wad in the tank. Maybe this information will be useful to someone. *flies away*

      We buy Charmin Ultra Strong, since we only use about 4-6 squares per wipe, so it does last long, but not super long.

    So, as a long time user of Scott, I'll explain why I waste my money on it; it's not about the absorbency, it's about what it doesn't leave behind. Yes, I have to use more, but it leaves no toilet paper dingleberries or fuzz. The super soft toilet papers leave behind so much fuzz and debris, I don't feel clean. And honestly, a roll of Scott lasts me forever, even tho I use more per wipe, it somehow balances out. Also, whenever I'm forced to buy something other than Scott, it seems like my toilet clogs up super easily, that Charmin & Quilted Northern is just too soft and too thick.

    • @Pip8448

      I'm not a Scott fan, but I do agree that the super soft plushy stuff is terrible for leaving behind powdered paper and tears super easy leaving bits on you. I greatly dislike finding tiny wads of previous powders in crevasses I didn't know got sweaty until these clumps showed up.

      As a guy, I don’t care about toilet paper leaving behind crumbs of paper. My favorite is Cottonelle because it’s soft, and I have to wipe less. From all the toilet paper brands I have tried, it probably leaves the most behind in terms of paper crumbs, but the least behind in terms of smell.

      The best TP according to plumbers (my son was a plumber for years) is the Sam's Club Member's Mark. It is soft enough for comfort, durable enough to get the job done yet if you place a sheet into water and let it sit...you will find that the MM almost completely breaks down and dissolves. A true plumbers friend! Probably the least clog factor of ANY TP out there. Plus....it's durable and is a great price!

    Storytime: so I am scarred for life by Charmin. I will not buy any toilet paper with the word "strong" on it because when I read that word on a package my eye starts twitching and my cheeks clench in self defense. How this happened is when my husband and I first got married we were broke. Broke broke. Like crying in the checkout line counting pennies for a loaf of bread broke. We needed toilet paper one day and it was snowing and the busses weren't running so we had to buy from the gas station we could walk to. All they had was a four pack of Charmin Ultra Strong. I get this shiz home and open it and I was dumbfounded. You're not kidding about it being paper towels. I'm totally convinced that it's just cheap paper towels they buy and slice down into thirds and resell. That stuff will sand the paint off your car. And we were stuck with it cause we had NO money to buy a different brand until payday. Worst $6 I ever spent. We literally had to dampen it with water before using it.

I was like, “of course we’re flushing toilet paper?!?!

      He’s coming for Scott’s low quality in this video, and I do know the transparent toilet paper he’s talking about. However, Scott has a higher quality option that is ribbed like Kleenex Cottonelle. I was pinching pennies during my last shopping trip and decided to try it. It’s honestly fine for both front and back and several dollars cheaper than anything else.
      That’s probably going to be my go-to from now on. It’s less soft than the big name brands, but it’s an entire league ahead of the scratchy, institutional toilet paper they have in office buildings and public restrooms. I figure I’m wiping with it only to toss it in the trash or toilet, so it doesn’t have to be silk. My fanny is obviously not akin to folks with princess fannies who can feel a pea through their roll of TP. I’d rather save the money with something comparable but decent. 🧻🤷‍♀️

      Just like the fine print on cereal for example, today it may say 9.7 Ounces but in 6 month you probably won't remember the old size, and then it could be reduced to 9.4 Ounces. If you use metric just convert it. Of course, it will be the same price as before with less cereal.
      Next when the companies can't shrink the size anymore, they introduce a new larger size with 25%* more for free. Then in a month or so they drop off the free part and charge more for the roll because it is now bigger. Then the process of shrinking begins all over again.
      *The free amount may vary.

    Coming back to this video to let you know that I actually used this video to inform my decision as to what toilet paper to buy when I went shopping this weekend. Congratulations.

    Now, this is the kind of scientific research I’ve been waiting for. Finally someone is taking this weird toilet paper brand competition SERIOUSLY.

    Was also hoping you would try that weird coin test they show in commercials xD always wondering why they used coins on wet toilet paper like, I don't generally shit coins. 🤔 🤷🏻‍♀️

      Pretty sure the coins are just for weight to show how strong it is, lol

    Imagine a toilet paper company marketing their product based on how well it can vandalize someone's house.

    My family uses Scott, and the reason why it is practical for us is because we use a septic tank for our toilet plumbing. Anything thicker causes problems and clogs.

    Through out my whole childhood my parents would only buy Scott toilet paper. It was like a miracle when I realized there was actually nice toilet paper.

    As someone with Crohn's disease, I can't thank you enough for performing this analysis. You're a true hero. (As an interesting side note, you might have heard the debate about going in from the front or the back to wipe, but did you know there are a surprising number of people who stand up to wipe? And they think they're normal! Crazy!)

    We used to use Charmin. But we started having septic issues. We switched to Scott and haven't had a problem since! I love Charmin... as a matter of fact, I like all kinds of toilet paper. But trust me, you can get used to Scott!!! And it isn't that bad either. If you take enough off the roll and fold it up a bunch, it doesn't go through. And yes, you can get great deals on toilet paper, especially at Target!!

    My brother always liked using the Scott branding when TPing someone’s house because if it got wet it was harder to get out of the trees. Hence wreaking more havoc.😂
