Hypoallergenic, safe for sewer and septic systems, thicker.

OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION:
The look of TP is pretty plain, white -- simple and to the point. The ruffled surface, however, reminded me of rippled Pringles. It has a nice, soft texture, and it rolls smoothly. It was unscented and the perforations tear evenly. All in all, a solid piece of toilet equipment.
SUBJECTIVE REVIEW:
Well, I didn't really give two shits about the hypo-allergenic or the septic tank claims. My more immediate concern was how it was going to feel aganist my very sensitive anal region. Well, I was overjoyed to find that the ripples really do make a difference, cleaning nasty small particles that might otherwise been left to pile up, like trash in the shoulder of the highway. Yes, I had to go for a second pass to make sure, but to be fair to the product, that's my habit no matter what TP I use. All in all, it was an fine experience, not leaving any traumatic scars (mental and physical) like so many other TP experiences I had. ANYTHING ELSE:
Note: Don't expect to find a good product like this any public restroom any time soon, e.g. Penn Station, the Carrier Dome, or an In-and-Out Burger.

This toilet paper sucks my ass. It is rough, however it does clean well.

This stuff is the only brand that doesn't fall apart when I wipe, unlike some brands. And this brand really cleans well. I give it two thumbs up!

Jenny No.2 www.angelfire.com/ca7/jennyno2 (not verified) -- 06.11.2002

Kleenex Cottonelle is the official toilet paper of choice for me. If you're down with me, you're down with Cottonelle. Screw that other shit you've been using all these years. That's nothing compared to this stuff! I carry a pack in my truck and put rolls on at houses of friends who don't use it. I'll say this, I have converted many a people into buying it. Next stop, DrPepper!!!

Kris (30) -- 07.31.2002

Don't trust anything butt Cottonelle on your hinny!

(I sure don't.) I wipe my ass with only the best, and theres nothing better than Kleenex Cottonelle. Trust me i should know!! If you ever need help wiping just write me!! Hey Jenny that Dr.Pepper thing is a good idea. Go with it!!

CoCo (not verified) -- 10.01.2002

WTF? This is the only TP that falls apart on me. You buy a roll of this, you better get a dustbuster to go with it.

CoCo (not verified) -- 10.01.2002

I take that back. The kind I got before might have been "Kleenex Cottonelle with Aloe", because the report on the talks about leaving lent, LOLOL.

rebwend (not verified) -- 01.23.2003

This TP sucks it big time. It constantly rips at inappropriate times (leaving crap on my hand and a scar on my brain). In addition, I'm forever trying to rid myself of those little TP balls that collect when crappy TP shreds.

Afro^Puff (not verified) -- 01.27.2003

My GOD!!! ALL YOU PEOPLE MUST BE LOADED WITH DINGLEBERRIES!!! COTTONELLE SUCKS!!! WHEN YOU WIPE YOU END UP DIRTIER THAN YOU STARTED!!! INSTEAD OF CRAP YOU END UP WITH CRAP/TP BALL CLINGING TO YOUR SPHINCTER!!!!

Scott don't betray your identity Scott TP is the way to go..

PRINTED SUPERLATIVES:

"Ripples = clean"

more like:

"Ripples = dingleberries"

Jess (not verified) -- 02.12.2003

Yeah, this stuff sucks. I guess whoever reviewed this really likes having a dirty ass full of TP shreds.

Hargie (not verified) -- 03.18.2003

It's great, and it's pretty too! If your roomie uses toliet paper like it is going out of style, it can get a little pracey, though!

Slim Jim Junkie (not verified) -- 05.12.2003

Kleenex once sent a free roll to my mom's house. We bought 100's of TP rolls since then

shaggy (not verified) -- 09.07.2003

It's the only stuff that works in two rolls or less on my sensitive ass, you see, it's like trying to wipe peanut butter out of shag carpet.

Shelli (not verified) -- 09.08.2003

I love Cottonelle! If I could I would carry it with me everywhere....which reminds me! Kleenex! Are you listening!? You should make handy little packs of Cottonelle so that I can take it where ever I go! That would make me and my butt very happy!

Slim Jim Junkie (not verified) -- 09.25.2003

Shelli, sometimes I use Kleenex nose tissues on my butt crack. Those are portable and very effective.

poopmagick (not verified) -- 09.29.2003

God's own TP, this and the Cottonelle with Aloe. I will forgo buying enough food for a week to make sure I can wipe my ass with this little bit of heaven.

In other words, pricey, but oh so worth it.

JM (not verified) -- 12.23.2003

Cottonelle USED TO be my favorite. Then they rippled it. Now it drags. Also, it's now a "gopher" paper. You put on a roll and go for more. Companies that put out miniscule 200 sheet rolls should be shot.

PoopieMama (not verified) -- 10.02.2004

The ONLY toliet tissue my family uses, 12 rolls for $3.12 here (just went up 15 cents) we have used it for years now, I liked it before they made it new and improved about a year or so ago, it had deeper "ripples" in the original.

I buy the kind with aloe frequently as well, I guess I am not like some people, I don't "save" for good paper, I always buy good paper.

jenn hargie (not verified) -- 10.12.2004

the toilet paper is rough ... why can't anyone make some more furry like

The Shit Volcano (3817) -- 02.04.2005

Furry toilet paper? I found some the other day. Dad left a TP dingleberry on the toilet seat. Now that was furry!

DipShitty (not verified) -- 04.25.2005

My favorite paper. Can't be beat. Extra absorbant for any shitty endeavor

Puckerup (not verified) -- 06.15.2005

Here we go again...Fucked by an American corporation. I have been using Kleenex Cottonelle Double rolls for several years, liked it. So I had a couple rolls left and decided to pick up a couple more 12-packs of my usual Shtuff and lo and behold they have managed to seriously "thin out" the roll! Old stuff squeezes to about 1.5 inches and the new "double roll" squeezes to less than 1 inch! The old bait and switch! So to the corporate wizards at Kimberly Clark/Kleenex I Say "Blow me and Kiss my Chapped Ass" I'm switching my own damn self...to another Brand. Buh-Bye.

Fast Mikie (not verified) -- 08.25.2006

Just discoverd this stuff at the Hilton in Santa Fe, New Mexico and my butt sings with joy!

I have ordered supplies for Mikie's Fun House and will donate the old stuff to third world countries.

Fishgod (not verified) -- 08.30.2006

I love this stuff! I had always bought the cheapest sh*t paper (i.e. whatever was on sale) for most of my life until my girlfriend bought this (apparently in heaven, cuz dats what it feels like!) My anal cavity has never been happier. Well, almost never...

Anonymous Coward (not verified) -- 08.10.2007

used to be good, was soft and cleaned without leaving clingers. they've changed it recently and it now leaves traces and shreds with each wipe. which is why I had to Google "paper that doesn't shred" to find a new brand. interesting site...initially one would think some people have too much time on their hands...then come to realize that, albiet amusing, it's a very important topic.

Anonymous Coward (not verified) -- 02.10.2008

I too was glad to see I'm not the only one trying to find a TP that doesn't shred. But the ones that don't, also don't flush! How do these water-saving toilets save water...I have to flush at least twice just to avoid a clog. So...clog....?....or shreds...? Why can't I have TP that holds together annnnd flushes? :(

Serious TP (not verified) -- 06.21.2008

We used to use Cottonelle with Ripples exclusively. Was absolutely the best product on the market. This was the pattern that looked like wavy bricks. But now they changed it and it shreds! Rips and tears. Even the competition has a commercial out about it.

How does a company make a decision like this? Amazing. Hope their sales go down the toilet... Then fire the people who made that change.

Down the drain (not verified) -- 01.23.2009

I have used the aloe type for many years. Then a few years ago they decreased the amount aloe vera. Then the paper changed to the shredder. Every time I would buy more the quality decreases. This last batch that I bought doesn't have any aloe whatsoever. This will be the last of my money they get.

big lizard (not verified) -- 11.19.2009

this paper is rubbish. it doesn't hold together at all. it fragments and turns into paper mache immediately, leaving balls of paper and fluff everywhere. it is far too soft and flimsy. you need to clean your arse again after this one. would never take it away camping, would end up with swamp ass in a couple of hours. would prefer to take my chances with news paper.
