Charmin Ultra Strong is Soft but Firm

Zachary Fruhling
Charmin recently released a new variety of bathroom tissue called, "Charmin Ultra Strong." No longer forced to choose between regular Charmin and its softer but flimsier cousin Charmin Ultra, consumers can now enjoy the benefits of Charmin softness in a tougher and sturdier bathroom tissue. In my small town on California's Central Coast, Charmin Ultra Strong has all but replaced regular Charmin and Charmin Ultra on the local drugstore and supermarket shelves. It is easy to see why, since Charmin Ultra Strong is still a very soft bathroom tissue but is several times stronger than the other Charmin varieties like Charmin Ultra.

Charmin Ultra Strong is available in the usual assortment of sizes of rolls, including double rolls in various packaging quantities. Of course, the bigger packages are more reasonably priced per roll than the smaller packages; but Charmin Ultra Strong is available in quantities as few as four per package at convenience store locations such as 7-Eleven and gas stations. Charmin Ultra Strong is significantly softer than generic brands such as the 7-Eleven Toilet Paper that are often for sale slightly cheaper than the Charmin Ultra Strong, but do yourself a favor and spend the extra cash for the Charmin Ultra. The extra expense is worth it for such a necessary luxury.

The only downside to Charmin Ultra Strong is a downside that is shared by all of the premium bathroom tissue brands, which is that the extra softness is paired with extra thickness. This results in fewer feet of bathroom tissue per roll, which is an added minus in the expense column in the long term if one chooses to use Charmin Ultra Strong as a primary bath tissue. The choice between Charmin Ultra Strong and a generic brand is, of course, up to the individual consumer. For my wife and me, the comfort and strength of Charmin Ultra Strong is worth the extra expense over generic brands of bathroom tissue, but not all consumers will have such basically biological priorities.

In conclusion, if you have been dissatisfied with previous versions of Charmin brand bathroom tissues because of the mismatching of the qualities of strength and softness, then Charmin Ultra Strong may be just the answer you have been seeking. And in addition to this pairing of softness and strength, Charmin Ultra Strong sports an effective weave pattern that will get the job done with a minimum of wastefulness, which is an important factor for the pocketbook and for the environment.
