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.

Would Not RecommendWe always but charmin. Always have, always will. But, the next time I send my list with the husband, I will definitely emphasize ULTRA. This essentials strong is the roughest, thinnest tissue we've used since starting out in our teens. So dissatisfied.

Not good!
Would Not RecommendSecond worst toilet paper I’ve ever bought. So not worth the name Charmin. Can’t believe I paid that much for such rough, uncomfortable toilet paper. Will not use Charmin essentials, again.

Charmin Strong
Would Not RecommendWe purchased 12 mega rolls of Charmin Strong....We were uncomfortably SHOCKED TO FIND OUT IT WAS ONLY 1 PLY THICK! We have to use it up but it will take many more pieces to do its job...wipe us clean.

Charmin Strong is not strong. Not what I wanted.
Would Not RecommendThis Charmin Strong is not strong, destructive while in use, tears apart. Need to use twice as much tissue because of the single layers. Do not like this Strong Charmin.

Unfortunately. I'm mad about errant purchase !
Would Not RecommendI have bought Charmin for over 40 years. I am so disappointed in the single ply Strong Mega Essentials. It takes me twice the paper to clean my bathroom visits. These negative findings make me feel I was cheated by your wrapper. I am out the money and still have to buy more tissue. I am 73, I have to watch my pennies, this is particularly annoying to my budget. Do a lot better job than this, mark the the ply clearer to see.

Tiny mega rolls.
Would Not RecommendI have always bought the Mega rolls in the large package. Now the mega rolls are getting to be the size of the regular rolls. When will the consumer stop being cheated?

. I bought the essential strong 12 pak..terrible
Would Not RecommendI found this product terrible because the actual roll width is smaller...the toilet paper is thinner, it comes off the roll in pieces, it is rough and not soft and tears while wiping. I will not purchase charmin again. I am over 70 and need a more absorbent and softer paper.

Package mislabeled
Would RecommendI bought a package of 9 rolls of toilet paper. The outside of the package clearly states that 12=48. That makes no mathematical sense!
