    What’s your go-to toilet paper brand? Usually get Quilton in bulk from Amazon but they have no stock and I have no idea what to buy, it’s been my choice for ages.

      The Aldi double length 3 ply Confidence brand. Comes in a four pack or an eight pack. Good quality, cheap and one roll lasts quite a long time. Yes it does fit in my roll holder. During covid I was getting the triple length rolls from colesworth and they only just fit the holder. My holder is a suction one from Bunnings and is not a permanent attachment but works fine on the tiled wall of the toot. And I can move it around if I want to or to clean the walls.

      Who gives a crap, the bamboo one. Because large quantities of tp just turn up on the doorstep periodically and I don’t have to think about it.

          My Aldi has it too. But I prefer the Confidence brand for quality. WGAC is kinda flimsy, more expensive, harder to store that quantity and, I am not a fan of it. And my Aldi is so conveniently located that I don’t need to buy in bulk. Though I did enjoy my sister’s family xmas present just before covid, which was a Christmas themed WGAC toilet roll. Nearly as much fun as the photocopier paper reams with the covering paper printed with a gold mitre for the Pope’s last visit to Melbourne. I nicked one of those from work for a souvenir.

        The normal one is pretty ordinary, I get the bamboo one too. A big box lasts me like a year. Set and forget.

        Do they fit in a standard roll holder? Not that I know what a standard holder is, but mine don’t go very far off the wall.

          It fits on my holder. That’s a full roll.

          The holder it’s self doesn’t move. I can measure the roll if you like.

      Ok so this is probably going to be controversial but I just use the cheap stuff they sell at aldi. I think they call it continence or something. It’s just a simple 3 ply. No double length or king size, just normal

      At my last place they just bought the cheapest garbage they could find. They bought 1 ply unperforated jumbo rolls, and it really sucked. It was rough, and if you were unwell with diarrhoea or whatever you were better off only doing a quick wipe and then showering because it was basically sandpaper. So my bog roll bar isn’t particularly high
