May 12, 20178 yr Does anyone have an idea which tends to be the best size of toilet roll to buy and in what quantity for best value? I'm sure I can't be the only one who gets confused trying to figure out which one to buy.
May 12, 20178 yr Thanks for bringing this up. I have been dwelling on this for the last 65 years. I expect final enlightenment. Cheers.
May 12, 20178 yr We buy the one with the puppy and the "bark code". Surely our OP can't be thinking of putting this stuff in his toilet, that's the one place in most Thai homes where you won't find it. "I don't want to know why you can't. I want to know how you can!"

I like to buy the Cellox brand but have no idea which gives more. 24jumbo's or 30 big for example.

Not sure about Cellox but Zilk and the puppy one have a panel which gives all the measurements - size and length etc. Just need to work out which one is best value on the day depending on offers etc.
May 13, 20178 yr Wifey uses some for drying off the delicate parts after buttwash, I am a crude farang and just do the wash. Use a roll of paper towels for table so net toilet paper use in our house is very very minor.
May 13, 20178 yr Somewhere on the packaging it will state the number of "sheets" (not a typo) per roll. Multiply this by the number of rolls per pack then calculate the cost per sheet. E.g. Cost per pack (P) divided by [number of sheets (S) x rolls per pack (R)] Now you need to calculate how many sheets will be needed per wipe (W), which will be inversely proportionate to the thickness of each sheet (i.e. - thin sheets will need to be double or treble folded to avoid digital penetration - YMMV). So, for best value (V), use the formula... V = P/(SR/W) I just buy the ones with the pretty floral design.

I guess I'll have to see what the total length is for the others. I used to think that buying more would be cheaper but that's not always the case anymore

I used to think that buying more would be cheaper but that's not always the case anymore And never has been. Paper comes in varying thickness, some feel softer than others, etc. Best thing is to do the price comparison like ChickensLegs suggested. It would be nice if the stores would post that information. Many stores in the US show the "unit price" along with the actual price of the product.
May 14, 20178 yr I cant believe that i am reading a thread on bloody toilet rolls , what has my life turned into ps new brand on the market called NICE seems the best so far .
