Best buy View more details.

There are some toilet paper products that offer great value for money, but don't quite meet the criteria to be recommended. These products become our Best Buys. Products must have a CHOICE Expert Rating of at least 70% and cost 30 cents or under per 100 sheets.

Yes
CHOICE Expert Rating View more details.

The CHOICE Expert Rating is made up of disintegration time (30%), softness (30%), separation (tear) force (20%) and puncture (strength) force (20%).

74%
Softness score View more details.

In this test we assess how soft the toilet paper is. This is a subjective assessment conducted by a panel of five people.

80%
Disintegration test score View more details.

We time how quickly the toilet paper disintegrates. The faster, the better – you want your toilet paper to break up quickly as it moves through sewage, making it less likely to block pipes. The quickest takes under a minute to disintegrate while the longest takes 20 minutes to disintegrate.

76%
Separation test score View more details.

We measure the ease of separating the toilet tissue at the perforation. The easier it is for toilet paper to tear, the better.

65%
Puncture test score View more details.

We assess the strength of the toilet paper by testing its resistance to puncturing. In this test a higher force is the most desirable result, meaning your finger is less likely to go through the paper.

70%
