The 10 Best Toilet Papers

Infused with a soothing aloe lotion, Charmin Ultra Gentle (about $19) is easy on sensitive skin and a good choice for anyone who finds most other options too rough. In fact, it is dermatologist tested to ensure that it does not irritate.

If you have finicky family members who will only use a fluffy, cloud-like material, Quilted Northern Ultra Plush (appx. $27) may meet their demanding standards. Its three-ply construction boasts a luxurious inner layer that makes it much thicker than most others.

Because it is thick, absorbent, and effective, most people find they use fewer sheets with Cottonelle Ultra ComfortCare (about $25), so it may help you save some money over time. It features cushiony ripples that are designed to pick up everything you need it to.

If you want your bathroom tissue to tackle a family's worth of needs, Charmin Ultra Soft Mega (about $32) may be the right choice. It is the company's softest variety made to date, yet is still tough and shouldn't break when you get it wet.

For those who like to moisten their paper with water before putting it to work, in order to achieve a little extra cleansing power, try Quilted Northern Ultra Soft & Strong (about $26). It remains durable even when wet, and rarely tears.

Many might not be familiar with White Cloud Ultra (appx. $22), but it holds its own among more well-known competitors. It is three ply, so you get the dependability and absorbency you need, while also soft and hypoallergenic for sensitive skin.

If a plumber is on your speed dial because your pipes are always backing up, it may be time to switch to Angel Soft Double Bath (about $48). It dissolves rapidly, making it easy on septic systems, but is still strong enough that you won't poke a hole in it at an inopportune moment.

Trying to save trees doesn't have to come at the price of discomfort. Green Forest Premium Unscented (appx. $39) is made entirely from recycled paper, so you can do your part for the environment, and bleached without chlorine, so it shouldn't cause irritation.

If nobody in your household ever changes the roll when they empty it, do yourself a favor and get Scott 1000 Sheets (around $20). At the very least, these require you to replace them a lot less often than smaller rolls and may save you from reaching out only to find a bare holder.

Seventh Generation Soft and Strong (about $30) is made from 100-percent recycled materials, making it a good choice for eco-conscious consumers. If you're also aiding our environment by using a low-flow toilet, you'll be glad to know this stuff is compatible with it.
