Volunteer group of different ages And social status takes risks every day for you, testing toilet paper different manufacturers, of varying quality and cost. You can find their assessments and our recommendations on this page.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR TOILET PAPER

Paper is made from primary raw materials (cellulose), from a mixture of secondary and primary raw materials, and from recyclable materials (recycled waste paper). The first two options are preferable from a hygiene standpoint.

Toilet paper should be soft, not hard. It should absorb moisture well and at the same time be strong enough when wet. At the same time, in order to avoid blockages in the sewer, the strength of toilet paper when wet should not prevent it from dissolving well in water.

About scented and colored paper: before purchasing, pay attention to the neutrality of the dyes and flavors used. It is the core of the roll that is scented, not the toilet paper itself. Colored drawings on paper should be applied with reverse side layers so that there is no contact of the skin with the dyes.

EVALUATION INDICATORS:

We are currently starting to evaluate toilet paper on a new 12-point scale based on 5 indicators: R/MOISTURE, SOFTNESS, WHITENESS, PERFORATION, DELIMITATION.

R- level of tensile strength with light moisture, scale 0-2 points.
M- level of softness in contact with skin, scale 0-4 points.
B- absence of foreign inclusions in the paper, surface uniformity, scale 0-3 points.
P- ease of tearing pieces of paper from the roll along the perforation line, scale 0-1 point.
R- tightness of adhesion of paper layers to each other (for paper with 2 or more layers), scale 0-2 points.
POINTS- final points received by toilet paper taking into account all indicators, maximum 12 points.

CHOOSING TOILET PAPER:

Paper below 3 points. We do not recommend using such paper at all. In the best case, use it for washing windows, car glass, as cat litter, etc. , depending on your imagination.
Paper from 3 to 4 We recommend using points when absolutely necessary, if there is no opportunity or money to purchase a better one.
Paper from 5 to 7 points - normal quality, for healthy adults.
For small children, for adults with any problems with the rectum, for those over 50 years old, we do not recommend toilet paper with a rating lower 8 points.

NOTE: We understand that using virgin cellulose toilet paper leads to deforestation, which is environmentally unwise to say the least. Refusal to buy pulp paper in favor of purchasing recycled paper (recycled waste paper) can be everyone's contribution to the conservation of valuable forests.

However, on the site we consider toilet paper primarily as a hygienic product, from the standpoint of the safety of your health. The choice of what to buy is yours.

The best hygiene after using the toilet is to wash. For this purpose, electronic bidet lids with a “soft” washing function with a dispersed jet are now offered for sale. If it is not possible to purchase such equipment, simple option washing is the use of a small plastic bottle With clean water. In this case, toilet paper is used for blotting and does not irritate the skin.
The second safest option is to use wet toilet paper.
A third option is to use traditional dry toilet paper.

We usually don't think twice when choosing toilet paper, because it is such an ordinary thing that it seems funny to even talk about it. On the other hand, if you think about it, this is indeed one of the most frequently used items in our daily life. Here are some tips from doctors, environmentalists and ordinary users to help you make your choice.

Fun fact

It is interesting that in sociological surveys about which modern conveniences are most taken for granted by them, users gave first place to this particular hygiene item:

69% - toilet paper;
42% - zipper;
38% - frozen foods.

Such a common thing

There are not just many, but many varieties of toilet paper that are available for sale today. It seems like every company is trying to outdo the competition in the number of layers, softness, and thickness of their toilet paper. For those who are especially demanding, there is paper of any colors, with drawings, strawberry or chamomile scents

What are the requirements for toilet paper?

Sufficient softness. After all, we use it for the most delicate places, and many women are also accustomed to using paper for “quick” hygiene of their intimate areas.
Relief. Paper with relief and perforation has better absorbency.
Environmental friendliness. The paper must be made without chlorine (this must be indicated on the packaging), be waste-free, and easily disintegrate when wet.
Convenient breakaway line. The cheapest gray paper does not have these lines. But their presence makes the paper easy to use and economical. The easier and more correctly the paper is torn off at the dotted line, the better the quality of the paper.

Main types of paper

In terms of the material used to make it, toilet paper can be divided into two large groups.

Recycled paper (waste paper). She has a characteristic gray or a grayish tint (so-called “Soviet” type paper).
Pulp paper. It is delicate and soft, pure color or snow-white. Due to its thin texture, rolls of such paper are usually made of two or three layers for greater strength. The more layers, the better, and the more expensive the paper.

What can I say here - on the one hand, doctors say that it is better to use the most delicate and soft cellulose paper of good quality. Paper that is too hard and contains solid particles can injure the skin, which can cause inflammation and contribute to the spread of infections. There is anecdotal evidence that lead contained in waste paper can negatively affect human health.

On the other hand, recycled paper is much more environmentally friendly. By purchasing it, we take care of environment. Don't forget that trees are cut down to produce white paper.

How to treat all kinds of fragrant and colored paper rolls? Is it harmful to health? And sometimes manufacturers also make paper with softening ingredients. Doctors advise: white, unscented paper is best, especially if you are prone to allergies. In any case, if you want to buy something that smells and colored paper, carefully make sure that you do not have any skin reactions to it.

Choose soft toilet paper if:

You have sensitive skin.
You value comfort even in small things.
You don't mind paying a high price.

You can use unbleached, inexpensive toilet paper if:

You can easily use not very soft toilet paper: you do not suffer from skin sensitivity and there are no other similar problems.
Quality and reliability are important to you, but you also want to save money.
Eco-friendliness is important to you.

You can save money by buying a pack or several packs of toilet paper in bulk (this is especially true if you have big family) - this is often cheaper than buying single rolls. Only medium and high quality rolls are sold in packages.

NB! For people who have proctological diseases, doctors do not recommend using paper - only damp softening wipes.

Expert opinion

We can say that these are the same wet wipes, only in larger sizes. This toilet paper is made from non-woven materials, which allows it to be dissolved in water and thrown into the toilet. Due to the convenient packaging, the product is convenient to take on the go. Even during long-term storage, the sheets do not dry out due to impregnation with a special lotion.

Best Rolled Toilet Paper

Such products are sold in rolls with a total length of 18 to 56 m. They can be screwed onto a sleeve or simply wound, in the first case they can be put on a special holder. Both are made from cellulose and/or waste paper. Sometimes they are sold in packs of several pieces. There are two best toilet paper rolls on the market.

We can confidently say that this is the best toilet paper for the price. Finding something cheaper in stores is simply unrealistic. Accordingly, for little money the buyer receives a roll of only 20 meters long, which differs from the standard 56 m, so it will not last long. Not everyone likes the gray color of the product, but this only indicates the use of recycled materials for its production, which does not harm the environment. The paper consists of two layers that do not randomly lag behind each other, and this makes it quite durable.

Advantages:

Soft to the touch;
Quickly dissolves in water;

This is not much, but there is a sleeve inside for convenient fixation of the product in the holder. Like other products in the TOP, it is made of two layers, and reviews note that there is no delamination, which can occur with cheap options. Cushioned roll paper is made from cellulose and waste paper, so its price is not the lowest. But she has white, textured surface and pleasant to the skin.

Advantages:

There are lines to break;
Easy to tear off;
Durable;
Good combination of price and quality;
Light, pleasant apple aroma;
Convenient roll width.

Flaws:

The break lines are too close to each other;
There are 4 rolls sold in a package.

The best sheet toilet paper

This paper is convenient to use in public restrooms or in the home, provided that a dispenser is installed. There are not many such options on the market yet, so it was not difficult to select the best option.

Tork

This is the best premium toilet paper sheet that is designed for use in automatic dispensing systems. She is often chosen for public toilets with medium and high traffic. It is often used in restaurants, hotels, and medical institutions. In this way, waste is avoided and the hygienic solution is optimized through single-sheet feeding. The only downside of this product is that you need to buy a dispenser for it separately. Its advantage is that it can be refueled at any time in a matter of seconds.

Advantages:

Consists of two layers;
Leaf length 19 cm;
Sheet width 11 cm;
White;
Softness;
Good density;
Rolls up easily and does not tear.

Flaws:

No flavoring;
Not cheap.

According to reviews, Tork paper is well suited for use as napkins, as it has approximately the same design.

What is the best toilet paper to buy?

If you need to buy toilet paper for the hospital, maternity hospital or on the road, then it is better to choose the wet type, in this case it is more convenient to use. For use in public restrooms, sheets are the most preferred, which saves on consumption. For those who are looking good option for home, you can choose ordinary rolls. Moreover, to attach them to the holder, they must have a sleeve, otherwise it will be inconvenient to fix them there.

Here's what's best to choose based on your situation:

To care for a small child, you can use Zewa Natural Camomile.
Those who have sensitive skin in the buttocks area should choose Mon Rulon.
If needed universal option, which could be used on both hands and face, it would not be a mistake to buy Aura.
It's convenient to take wet Kleenex paper with you on the road.
The product “Panorama” is suitable for home use.
People with sensitive skin should pay attention to the “Tender Aroma of Apple”.
Tork sheet paper will be relevant in public restrooms.

Obviously, the best toilet paper can only be called the one that is soft enough, has good density, and is safe for use. What makes it even more suitable is that it can be flushed down the toilet and can be preserved under the influence of water.

Cheap toilet paper has not changed since the days when queues lined up for it in Soviet stores. It is still sold in rolls wrapped in paper tape, even the shade is often the same - gray.

Manufacturers of such paper like to emphasize that its length is exactly 54 m (however, they often deceive - see table). For some reason, this particular footage has been considered optimal since Soviet times. More expensive multilayer paper is shorter, but there is no need to fold it - it costs less. But it has been noticed that it ends faster.

But it is more convenient to use. Who is unfamiliar with the situation when, when printing a cheap roll, along with the tightly glued packaging, you tear several layers of the paper itself? Poor perforation - the tear line of the sheets - can also make you angry. A torn roll looks, you see, unaesthetic. However, it turned out that even among inexpensive ones there is paper that divides perfectly evenly.

From old newspapers

On sale you can find both waste paper processing products and paper made from pure cellulose. Information about the composition is printed on the packaging. True, it can be assumed that the inscription “100 percent cellulose” does not always mean that the raw material is primary, that is, not obtained from old newspapers. Our examination has shown that paper made from virgin fiber is softer and, importantly, dissolves faster in water without clogging the drain.

To check the last parameter, we armed ourselves with a stopwatch and placed the leaves in water, which we “twisted” into a funnel using a kitchen blender. Once caught in the whirlpool, the thick three-layer paper almost instantly disintegrated into thin fibers. But the sheets from the “Soviet” rolls and the two-layer “Zewa” first turned into wet lumps - it took them much longer to dissolve.

It turns out that cheap paper is more likely to cause clogged sewer pipes, especially outside the city, in a country house where the water pressure is weaker.

Expert opinion

Badma BASHANKAEV, researcher at the Department of Coloproctology and Pelvic Floor Surgery of the Russian scientific center surgery named after acad. B.V. Petrovsky RAMS:

- Too hard toilet paper, and even more so “Soviet” type paper - gray, in which unmilled particles of paper are even visible (they look like wood shavings) - suitable for public places, but not for home. Mechanical irritation can injure the delicate mucous membrane (and it contains many different receptors) and provoke inflammation. Therefore, it is natural that in modern world People have long abandoned the use of newspapers as a means of personal hygiene. The softer the toilet paper, the more layers it has and the smaller the grain, the better. Sometimes toilet paper contains various softening creams, perfumes, and complex colors: before using it, make sure you are not allergic to such additional components. People who have proctological diseases - hemorrhoids, etc. - are not recommended to use paper. They are recommended to wash or use wet wipes.

The areas of the body that we treat with toilet paper are extremely sensitive and require delicate care, so paper hygiene products should not irritate the skin or cause damage.

Approach the choice of essential goods responsibly, pay attention to several important parameters: composition and raw materials of paper, number of layers, ease of use, ease of processing.

What should the raw materials be?

Toilet paper can be made from natural cellulose, recycled pulp, or a blend of materials.

Wood pulp is traditionally used for the production of paper, cardboard, etc. This natural polysaccharide is the most expensive raw material, and the highest quality hygiene products are obtained from it. Perfect example— made from natural primary raw materials. Cellulose dissolves well in water, so you don’t have to worry about blockages in the sewer. The body does not suffer from such paper either: it does not contain any harmful impurities, it is hygienic. Soft texture and good absorbent properties are two more advantages in favor of cellulose. It can be painted with special dyes.

Recycled materials for toilet paper are recycled waste paper. Despite the gray color and less aesthetics, products made from this material have their advantages. Firstly, this toilet paper is cheaper. Secondly, all environmental organizations are in favor of its use, because its production does not lead to the cutting down of trees. Thirdly, it is hygroscopic and has a high density. However, if you prefer this product, keep in mind that it is rougher and rougher.

Health safety

In the production of toilet paper, the use of antiseptics, dyes and fragrances that can cause allergies is not allowed.

The safest color is white, but there is a subtlety here too. Choose products that are not treated with chlorine. Paper that has been bleached is not very pleasant to use. Most consumers prefer rough gray paper. There is no need to be afraid of its color; the main thing is to ensure that it is produced in accordance with GOST and has the appropriate marks on the packaging.

Cheaper single-ply paper is usually wrapped in paper packaging. Cellulose multilayer is more often sold in plastic bags 4 rolls or large packages. Buying several rolls at once is more economical. Besides, polyethylene packaging allows you to store paper for a long time, preventing it from getting wet.

IN lately paper with fragrances has become popular: fruity and floral smells, sea freshness, etc. Please note that the manufacturer must have all the necessary quality certificates, including for scented products - this will avoid possible allergic reaction by smell.

Hygienic properties

The main requirement for toilet paper from a hygiene point of view is excellent absorbency. Based on this, it is better to choose embossed products.

Several layers are another requirement for complete absorption. It is better if the paper has two or more layers - this is a sign of expensive cellulose paper or products made from mixed raw materials.

Ease of use

In multilayer products, high-quality embossing that holds the layers together is very important. In its absence, the paper delaminates and becomes inconvenient to use. Perforation also makes it easier to use - it's easier to tear off the paper along the line.

Recycling

A quality product should completely dissolve in water after use so as not to clog the drain. Cellulose paper best meets this requirement.
