Abysmal
Pros
Absolutely nothing
Cons
I bought this loo paper on the recommendation of Consumer and it is the worst toilet paper that I have ever tried! It is incredibly thin and you have to use twice as much so you don't penetrate it. This means it is not economical at all. Very surprised that it rated well when tested by Consumer.
Recommend it?
No, this product has too many drawbacks.
