OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION:
Scott Tissue is pretty much your plain ole TP. Not too fancy, but it gets the job done. That's as long as the job isn't too juicy. But its ability to last for ever makes up for its lack of goo absorbtion. There is always plenty left on the roll to catch the strays, and you know what I mean.

The free-flowing-rolling-motion is a dream when you've got to get out of the bathroom quickly. Tears are usually even and clean. Scott Tissue isn't rolled so loosely as to pile onto the floor under the holder after a tear, but it doesn't perform well in the TP chase. When the TP hits the floor and rolls away, Scott's free rolling ability becomes a liabilty. You've gotta get up and retrieve it. It's not coming back to you.
SUBJECTIVE REVIEW:
After trying many different TP brands, I think Scott's is the best. It is a little rough, but that roughness is needed to really get a good clean wipe. The price per square foot is excellent for my budget. One roll will last my family for about four to five days depending on whether we've had Mexican or not that week.

Scott very rarely suffers from "rip through". People with long finger nails can relate to this. OW!

This brand isn't what I'd refer to as "facial quality", but it does hold up when folded over for a moderate nose blowing. It can't hold up to the flu.

Scott passes a very important test in this house. You can splash water on Scott's and it will dry in a manner that maintains its usabilty. No fraying. Just a lot of blistering. It doesn't look pretty once it dries, but it still performs it's duties.

This TP also doesn't clog the toilet like those super absorbant brands.
ANY OTHER INFO:
Buy the twelve pack. It's usually the most economical and it stores relatively easily. You also don't have to worry about running out too quickly.

Nononono...the new "softer" Scott's is a loser. I quit buying it. Sure it's softer - it's also thiner and you have to use twice as much to get the same wipe. I've switched brands until they bring the original back.

Tammy (34) -- 10.15.2001

Yes, Barbara. Regrettably, the new 'softer' Scott's isn't as good as the original flavor, but I still stand firm in my belief that Scott's is still the best paper for my family's posteriors.

SCOTT IS THE WORST! softness is everything! I lost alot of blood with that stuff. All the blood on that tp could have gone to help people in need! I have A blood!

Scott doesn't leave as many toilet paper dingle-berries as other brands.

I have extreme contact dermatitis in my "lower regions" which has caused a lot of doctor's (OB/GYN) visits and finally was referred to a dermatologist. My problem is much better, but not all gone. I realised I was still using the same bathroom tissue (Charmin Ultra) and thereby hangs a tale! I am allergic to any Ultra or scented...no matter how light!...toilet paper. I am looking for "Scott FREE" toilet paper, or even "Charmin FREE!" No one knows what I am talking about and until I get an answer to my dilemma, I must use CVS which is even harsher than any of the Scott tissue you mentioned! Sounds like the biggest joke? Well, I guess it sounds like it, but it sure doesn't feel like it! Please HELP! Betty

As a scientist I mut depore all of these subjective reactions to Scott tissue's softness,absorbtion, strength, etc. These are all things that can be determined unequivocally by laboratory testing. Of course human volunteers will be needed to provide the test materials. Any volunteers?

This is the best. Does the job, and doesn't shred or break off in your butt, to stink all day. It does the job and leaves politely.

While it's ok for wiping up the bunger after a rightous dump or squirting warm jets of baby batter into while thinking about cheerleaders, but I prefer "Marcal" brand. It's cheeper and indistiguishable from "Scott Tissue".

Ok... I am sick to death of 'toilet paper' balls..little tiny ones or bigger ones.I AM SICK TO DEATH OF IT.. OKAY??? They do NOT belong on my front or back. Grrrrrr. By the way I found this site while searching for a place to write to Scott tissue and other TP companies to complain.. 10 yrs. ago we had GOOD TP.. but not now. not anymore.. cheap assed world.

Scott's makes me bleed. I look forward to using public restrooms because their TP is softer.

I have had terrible trouble with dermatitis in my lower region that has progressed to full yeast infections countless times in the last year. I finally figured out that we swiched toilet paper about a year ago. The culprit is Charmin Ultra. I'm so happy I figured this out.

To those with burning asses: Suggestion - keep a jar of vaseline next to your roll of TP - about the 2nd or 3rd wipe introduce a small glob of vaseline onto the ball of tp (just dip into the jar) and strategically position the glob onto your ass. Then use 2 more balls of tp to smooth out the glob. Enjoy the tip and happy sh*tting everyone!!!!

I have an important problem. We have men in this household who use HUGE amounts of toilet paper, and they refuse to change their habits. After many clogs in our system, I am looking for a toilet tissue which breaks apart quickly once flushed and is CHEAP! Does anyone know if regular Scott toilet paper fits this bill? They claim it is safe for septic systems which makes me thinks perhaps it dissolves quickly.

This is for Windham TP Man and anyone else who suffers from burning bottoms. Instead of using vaseline, which gums up your undies, there is a wonderful product called Udderly Smooth Udder Cream. Originally formulated for cow udders, it has been used for years as a hand lotion and is terrific. The great thing is that it's alcohol free and doesn't burn if you put it on chapped skin. You can just rub it right in and it absorbs nicely. No more shmears in your pants. Believe me, I've tried everything, and there are very few alcohol free products out there. You can find this product at Walmart in the bandaid section (go figure) or at Hancock fabrics. Some other stores carry it as well. It is in the easy to spot white tube or tub with black cow spots on it. DO NOT GET THE LOTION, ONLY THE CREAM! The Udderly Smooth lotion is NOT the same product. Good luck and careful wiping!

The only toilet paper I use is Charmin Ultra Soft (unless I'm broke then I get 1000 sheets TP.) I'm allergic to every toilet paper except Charmin Ultra SOFT. I'm posting simply for people with toilet paper allergies looking for a solution. In response to your evalution however, my boyfriend likes the Scott tissue too.

I have been dealing with toilet paper alergies and am happy to find I'm not the only one. (Though it sucks for all of us with that problem.) I have a rapid outbreak of itchness in my girly parts when I use any of the Charmin products and a slower reaction when I use Angel Soft. I have found relief using Cottonelle which has never caused me any problems what-so-ever. So hopefully this will help someone else discover a better toilet paper that doesn't cause any nasty reactions.

OK - in the last few years I've developed a sensitivity to toilet paper. I was a Scott fan for years but it started to leave me feeling just plain raw.

The current "no-aggravation" paper is AngelSoft (the cheapest version). Terrible issues with White Cloud, Quilted Northern and Charmin.

I asked my Gyno and he acted like he had never heard of such a thing. A Dematoligist simply recommended finding a soft brand (that's when I discovered the "Big Name TPs" aggravated me even more.

What REALLY concerns me is that I seem to develop an intolerance after a few rolls - soon I'll be out of options!

I have severe problems with toilet paper. I actually think that I have this problem for a while because it felt like a bladder problem. The burning is terrible. I only use Scott but if I run out i use my husbands TP and then I started getting irritated. My work switch TP and now I am having problems. SCOTT 1000 works for me. My mom has the same issue.
