What is the CHOICE Expert Rating?

CHOICE Expert Rating

This is the product's overall performance score, based on key tests conducted by our industry experts in the CHOICE labs.

Recommended View more details.

We recommend tissues that score at least 70% overall, with no score below 55%.

CHOICE Expert Rating View more details.

This overall score is made up of softness (40%), puncture (30%), absorption (20%) and wet tear strength (10%).

60%
Softness score View more details.

We measure the softness of each tissue. This is a subjective assessment conducted by a panel of four people.

65%
Absorption score View more details.

We assess how much fluid the tissue can absorb.

69%
Puncture score View more details.

We assess the strength of the tissue 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 tissue (along with the blast of a sneeze).

51%
Wet tear strength score View more details.

We test how easily the tissue will tear when wet – to show how strong it is, or if you're dealing with something you particularly don't want coming through the tissue...
