Comment:
When CU reviewed T/P it handed out their ratings. Right after the rating the manufacturer made some production changes. The T/P got slightly thinner, it went from 4.25 inches square, or slightly larger, to 4.0 inches square, much smaller. It seems to be easier to punch through it. In my opinion the manufacturer cut corners amd cheapened the product. I can neither recommend or not recommend this brand to anyone.

Comment:
This toilet paper is soft all right, but too soft. It leaves so much lint behind I feel like I have to take a shower after using it. And of course I bought the jumbo pack from [@]. Can't wait for it to be gone so I can switch back to my usual brand.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
