Surprised to find Smart Toilet and Kitchen Towel topics, but none dedicated to the smaller towels everyone uses. Or maybe not everyone
So without further ado-do, here it is.
Push out your preferred or avoid-at-any-cost small sheet advice. From the indestructible, non-stick skin-lacerating Izal types to the atom-thin, finger-through-paper disappointments.
Starting with this one, from an initial marketing point of view:
Full unboxing and in-depth review to follow through after Iāve had a Tobyās All-you-can-eat and a few coffees.
So whatās your ring-of-fire rescue luxury? Reassuring spongey thickness or a moist application via hello-vera? Absorption excellence or something completely different maybe - bidet or just walk-away?

Costcoās own brand Kirkland 3 ply is excellent. I believe itās Costcoās biggest seller. When you go there most people buy it as you can spot it in their trolleys. 10 packs of 4 rolls. Competitive price but not sure what it is atm as I havenāt got a recent receipt to hand.
Iāve been using the bamboo rolls from Who Gives A Crap for a couple of years now and itās excellent. On a par with āpremiumā brands like old Andrew but no plastic waste.
Bamboo doesnāt work for toilet paper, I find. Itās a little lacking in the absorbency area, in a way that doesnāt matter for tissues.
I use Waitrose own brand myself. Canāt be doing with the cheap brands, itās a false economy. And the fancy brands, your Andrea and what have you, feel rather over engineered to me - itās all very well making an amazing one square, but when my natural inclination is to use more and fold it over, it feels like Iām massively wasting an expensive roll.
Three sheets is enough. Which matches up with the graphic you posted. But three sheets of Andrex quilted for example is far thicker than necessary, and needlessly expensive considering the cost per sheet.
My understanding is that this is true for most wipes because they contain plastic, but if you get ones like the Andrew moist wipes that are 100% cotton then those are safe to flush because they will disintegrate.
Andrex isnāt basic, itās very expensive! Whenever Iāve seen it, the price is about 70p-90p a roll!
I have Aldi own brand 6 rolls for Ā£2.19 that claim to be 12 roll equivalent and have also had 10 packs of 9 rolls bought off TikTok shop for Ā£20 which was slightly thicker but the rolls are not as long so possily a false economy!
I actually meant basic in the sense itās a fairly normal brand and nothing special about it.
That being said I find cheaper brands less comfortable and thinner so you use more. And given the regularity of use and, ahem, the area of use, 70p a roll is perfectly acceptable to me.
