Before I even start on my review, let me ask you this. What have you been eating that you need ultra strong toilet paper to wipe your butt? When strong or extra strong won't do, you need ultra strong? Shouldn't you be examining your diet first?
Having said that, this TP is indeed ultra strong. I've been using Charmin ultra soft for years, but decided to try this on a whim. And it is what it's advertised to be. Guaranteed, no matter what you've been eating, this will wipe your butt cleanly and without breaking. Grandma's extra thick chili? A case of Montezuma's revenge? E. coli, gastroenteritis? That stuff will go through regular TP like a hot knife through butter and nothing will spoil your day more than fingers which have touched poo, even your own.
But Charmin Ultra Strong? Nothing's going break through this baby. Yup, this baby can handle anything. I've tried and so far, this TP has never broken through, no matter how hard I've wiped, and boy have I tried. It is indeedy the toughest TP I've ever used.
It is however, rather rough. So if you've had a tough day, had a tough meal, have a tough sphincter that can handle tough, and you want a toilet paper that's guaranteed not to break through, this is it. I've sacrificed a few layers of sphincter cells for this review, but yup, this toilet paper is indeed ultra strong. 5 stars.
Price Notes:
You can buy both a 4 pack and a 6 pack but at current prices the 4 pack (24 rolls) is a much better deal than the 6 pack. But note that prices can fluctuate so look for the better deal every time. Both deals are over $25 and so come with free shipping. This is great for people who live in the city and don't want to lug a lot of TP back home on public transport or just don't want to carry bulky stuff.
For those who find this hard to flush (especially with low flow toilets), there are two ways to deal with this.
After pooing and wiping, just hold the TP in your hand and flush (with your other hand). After your poo has swirled down, throw in the TP at the tail end of the flush. The TP will still go through. It will take a little bit of practice to get your timing right but it works for me. This works well not just for this TP but for people who poo big stinkers. It will require you to look at your poo but that's no hardship. It's a quirk of human nature that you can look at your own poo all day long but other people's poo is disgusting despite the fact that poo is poo and your poo isn't any better than anyone else's.
The second way is to flush twice. I know that's more usage of water, but it's better than having a clogged toilet. This means either:
a) Flushing your poo and TP separately.
b) Flushing halfway through your session. For those who poo really big ones this is the only way to flush no matter what TP you use - it'll take some practice to know exactly when halfway is, it's usually the time when your session changes from a life and death situation to a leisurely experience.
So there you have it, not just a review of TP but a flush etiquette guide.
