What Customers Are Saying

The product has mixed reviews. Some customers found it to be a good value, with a nice balance of softness and strength. However, others were disappointed with the quality compared to regular products, feeling it was too thin, rough, and not up to the usual standard. While the mega rolls are large and long-lasting, and the paper is septic-safe, some customers complained it tore easily and required using much more per use. Overall, it is an acceptable budget alternative, but not a full replacement for the regular product.

Affordable strong toilet paper

A budget friendly toilet paper. I really like that it’s not super thin and that it doesn’t fall apart. It’s safe to use with septic tanks. You get 429 sheets per roll in the 6 roll packs and I feel like for the quality and amount that the cost is great. It is a little rougher than what I prefer to use so next time I’m going to try the soft version.

Original

This one ply is the original that Mr. Whipple spoke about "don't squeeze the Charmin". 2 ply is such a waste iny opinion.

Absolutely horrible! Thinner than wrapping tissue paper!

Would Not Recommend

Have been using Charmin for years. A few weeks ago accidentally grabbed the Essentials Strong version instead of regular strong. This is THE WORST garbage TP I have ever bought, except for maybe Scott brand. Single ply tissue paper thin, and tears if you just look at it wrong. Sadly since it is opened store will not let me return it. Thinking I may donate it to the church near me, but I wouldn't want to wish this garbage on anyone! No way would a reputable company put the word STRONG on the pack...

This is my favorite toilet paper ever! I will be distraught if they ever discontinue it! I hate when TP leaves lint, and Essentials Strong never leaves me feeling unclean.

I purchased this product last week and was thoroughly disappointed. one side was smooth the other side had so much loose particle is looked like a lent someone was playing with lent in my bathroom. I was so disappointed, embarrassed and could not continue using this product for fear of an infection for young girls. for my younger children It was so much lint with each shake but only heavy on one side. I had not used this product in a long time and this reason was a surprise. this Charmin brand...

Should be 6 for 12.

Would Not Recommend

Bought charmin essential strong, 6=24 recently. It is the thinnest TP we ever used. It has little absorbency and is necessary to use twice the number of sheets. Therefore, it should be called 6 for 12.. I bought it thinking it was more economical but don’t think that is true, maybe it cost more. Looking for a better product.

Don't be fooled, it's 1-ply!

Would Not Recommend

We had been using the Charmin essentials ultra soft and while it was good, thought it might be contributing to extra dust in the bathroom so decided to try the essentials ultra strong without realizing that the soft is 2-ply but the strong is 1-ply. Never again. I thought it was a joke when my husband told me the pitiful roll I had been using was Charmin :( we will be switching to different toilet paper asap. Not quite as bad as generic stock toilet paper, but barely a step above. I had to go ba...

Excellent toilet paper with no piling or tearing. Great for septic systems and the pocketbook! It was a change to use a paper with no texture, but it's a family favorite!

Worst toilet paper ever

Would Not Recommend

Me and my family are livid in the fact that we purchased a charmin product that claimed to be charmin “strong” toilet paper but when we got home and opened the package the rolls were 1-ply. Our mistake for not reading the fine print on the packaging, but it we wanted cheap terrible 1-ply toilet paper we would purchased angel soft. I’ve never felt so mislead by a trusted brand ever. Clearly this essentials charmin brand is “newer” where we shop, as I’ve never seen the packaging before, we were no...

Maybe for bulk use…

Would Not Recommend

I bought this thinking that with the Charmin name, it would be a great value for a great product. However, I that is not the case. Granted, it is a step up from toilet paper you see that is purchased in bulk for hotels, gas stations, etc. For that, I gave it two stars instead of one. However, if I were just basing it on Home, Muse, it would be only one star. It’s thin and takes more to get the job done. I won’t make the mistake of picking this one up again. I would rather pay more for Charmin qu...
