Aieee!
Hate. Hate. Hate.
Seriously. Who designs the stuff? A misogynist for sure!
((My mum tossed me a package the other day -Costco-, I thought "Awesome! $5 saved!" BUT I had forgotten how much this particular brand is AWFUL. Actually this one is so bad that it gives me yeast infections. Again, forgot that. (Aside: Who Forgets THAT?). But even without needing to schlep out and buy a $20 cure... Linty paper either means sitting & picking out all the schtupid lint, or washing it all off if its the impossible kind. Aieeee. The itching, drying, awfulness. Shudder.))
Lol... The only reason I didn't list brands is that the lintiest of them all (for me!), and the one that gives me yeast infections IS Charmin. It's like it just disintegrates into molecules as it comes close to me, or acts like Xmas tree flocking. I don't want to look like "snow"!!!.
LOL...Scott is my über-fav. I use about a 4' length of it and crumple. (Equals about 6" in Charmin). Rolls in both take about the same time to be used up (4 feet vs 6 inches). The funny thing is when I grab one brand like its the other. Ummmm... That's either a VERY wet hand or a clogged toilet fo' sho'!! Yikes to both.
I'll take awful Japanese toilet paper (ummm... No. In reality, I'd probably beg a crate of good stuff shipped over) in exchange for the heated seats, though!!! Ahhh. Heated toilet seats.
Would anybody chime in and say, "You're crazy, I LOVE linty toilet paper! The flecks stuck to my tushy all day are SO comforting!"
I must be weird, but I have never had linty toilet paper....
We get the Kirkland toilet paper from Costco.
I dunno, I never noticed linty stuff from toilet paper before or my family saying it.
Or maybe I am just not observant enough?
Oh but I really don't like Charmin. It clogs toilets.
Me too!
My other pet peeve is single layer toilet paper. CHEAP!! I esp. hate it when you go into a nice hotel, restaurant, business and there is single layer tp. I am paying how much to be here, and this is my reward?
** I LOVE Angel Soft!!
Thank you for your non-political post. And yes, I hear ya sister!
R., you need a Toto Washlet! They are heaven! Heated seats and all the rest! You'll never look like snow again! LOL!

Bahaha!! Have you seen that commercial with the mama bear and the baby bear, and the baby bear has toilet paper bits all over his bum? She talks about needing a better toilet paper. I thought that was smart advertising! I've never remembered what the darn paper is (they need a catchy jingle), but I'm sure I'd like it!
One time my mom had toilet paper that was so scratchy, R., that it made my vulva sore. I went and bought Charmin, and when she asked why, I told her. She never bought it again. SO glad my mom cares so much about my lady bits!!
Yeah, Dawnette - Japan's paper IS scratchy! More making me sore! I had to go to the international store for the soft stuff!!

I can't even remember what linty toilet paper is like. I have been living in Japan for a long time now. All the toilet paper here is the same, not very soft and reminds me of paper napkins in texture- not the soft kind even, the waxy type. Be grateful for the softness, even with the lint.
ETA: Double layer soft toilet paper... I may be dreaming about this later. With the scratchy stuff we have here, single is better.
Angel Soft, cheaper than most and have been buying literally for YEARS.
hahaha! Totally agree!
Ok, but need to know which brand gave you a yeast infection so I can make sure to steer clear. Please share!
"Life is too short for cheap toilet paper." -- my mom
I wholeheartedly agree with her.
Agreed! I don't buy Charmin, find it to be the lintiest. Northern is better, IMO.
My inlaws buy toilet paper that I swear is recycled from old sandpaper. :)
I have experimented with many many brands over the years for the same reason(s) you listed. I have found, surprisingly, that WalMart brand (Great Value) is the best one! No, really. No lint, strong, absorbent, etc... Also, it's less expensive than Scott, Charmin, Quilted Northern and the others....
Try Angel Soft or Cottonelle. They are much better than most others.
Lmao!
True story - while preggo my hubby had to pick lint off my nether region cuz I couldn't see it! :)
We use Cottonelle now.
I get the "green" brand that is recycled or the cheap store brand and both are never linty. They seem fine to me. I never knew I was saving myself this hassle!
My in-laws use Charmin and I hated the lint storm, so I always made sure to bring tp from home. I'd hide the Charmin in the back of the cupboard in the bathroom and replace it with the TP I brought from home. So a few weeks ago, my mother-in-law shows up at our house and says that they have had some serious plumbing issues. They were advised not to use Charmin any longer (I'm unsure how it can clog plumbing when it disintegrates in my hands, but anyways.) She comes with half a pack of Costco sized Charmin and gives it to us! Now we have this Charmin that WILL NOT be used, I can't give it to anyone-I would never do that to someone else. I don't know what to do with it other than TP a tree!
I'm with you - I HATE charmin!
I despise linty toilet paper! So much that I dread using someone else's bathroom if I see they have the linty kind. I will never buy anything else except the generic '1000 roll' store brand version of Scott. It tends to rip off at the perforations better than Scott.
I hate Charmin, Angel soft, Cottonelle, and all those other linty brands and anything double layer! Yuck!
I only use Scott soft. It doesn't lint up and it doesn't clip up toilets. That's a win win in my book!
We get tp from Family Dollar, Strong and Soft brand. This was after hubby tried I don't know how many brands to avoid lintyness!
Life's too short for cheap toilet paper. Charmin all the way.
My mom shared a story a while ago - my mom is as cheap as cheap gets and has been using Scott's forever (like 1-ply sandpaper). She took my Nana (who is 91) shopping and Nana bought some Charmin. My mother's first thought was "well that's an extravagance!" but then she realized how silly she was and that treating yourself to nice TP is hardly an indulgence.
