No, this Cottonelle is not of the same thickness and does not have the same texture as the residential Cottonelle you find in grocery stores, because it isn't residential Cottonelle you find in grocery stores: it's commercial Cottonelle, produced for a different market with different priorities. Aside from any hoarding people may have been doing once upon a time, the main reason that paper products disappeared from grocery store shelves when this whole COVID thing started is that there are two production streams for paper products: one for residential paper products and one for commercial paper products. And when the COVID thing started (and still now, to a slightly lesser degree), everybody started staying home...which meant that there was basically 100% demand for residential paper products and 0% demand for commercial ones. The paper product production streams and capacities were not set up with this situation in mind - the reality at the time was more of a 50/50 deal - and so when COVID-19 hit and everybody started staying home, demand for residential paper products suddenly far exceeded any production capacity that had ever been needed for them previously, while demand for commercial paper products dropped to basically zero. People using way more residential paper products than could be produced resulted in those products disappearing from grocery store shelves, while commercial paper products started filling warehouses to capacity as far more were being produced than were actually being used. That's why this lovely stuff remains available (rather a big plus, you'll note) while "regular" residential-grade Cottonelle is still thin on the ground if indeed you can find it at all (I haven't actually looked for paper products in a grocery store in quite some time so I don't know what the actual state of all that is right now). Anyways: that's our modern history lesson for today. The point is that this (readily available) version of Cottonelle is the *commercial* variety, with each roll intended to last longer than the residential kind, so changing out the rolls is less labor-intensive. This, in turn, is why this version is thinner (and, you may note, more tightly wound on the core) than the residential variety: there's a lot more actual product here, and a lot less air. Given those facts, the resultant cost-effectiveness, and the remarkable softness and absorbency of this commercial version, I can't understand why anybody would want the residential version anymore. I know *I'm* never going back. Read more
I recently purchased the Cottonelle Professional Standard Roll Bulk Toilet Paper (2-Ply, White, 60 Rolls) for our home, and I couldn’t be happier with the quality and value. Cottonelle has always been known for its softness and strength, and this bulk pack absolutely lives up to the brand’s reputation. Each roll feels thick and durable, yet still soft to the touch. The 2-ply construction holds up well, meaning less waste and fewer clogs compared to cheaper alternatives. The 60-roll bulk pack is a fantastic deal and perfect for businesses, schools, or any facility that needs a steady supply of dependable toilet paper. Even in our busy bathrooms this product has held up exceptionally well. Overall, Cottonelle Professional 2-Ply Toilet Paper is a great choice if you’re looking for quality, comfort, and cost efficiency. I highly recommend it for stocking up at home! Read more
Glad we bought in bulk. During the shortage we were gokd, lol Read more
This definitely wasn't my pick for toilet paper. I bought this during the toilet paper shortage because it was literally all I could find, and I felt lucky in doing so. In general I have never liked cottonelle. It's just personal preference. Usually I buy soft toilet papers and I found that cottenelle tended to leave fibers behind when you wipe anything wet. This TP doesn't seem to leave so much behind, but it is a super thin 2Ply and it tears easily. It isn't very soft either, but certainly better than other commercial toilet papers I have used. It's nice that they are individually wrapped, so I can store them for some time without having to worry about them getting dusty or dirty. Now that other TP is available, this is going in the closet as emergency backup because it's really just not that great. It's pretty much what I expected though and I can't fault it for that. If I'd bought it for a business where I am not the one using it, it's a good toilet paper for relatively cheap. I just wouldn't buy it for myself unless I absolutely had to again. I tried to be fair in my rating based on that. It's certainly professional or commercial grade and not what I am used to for home use. Read more
Convenient to akways have toilet paper. This is 2 ply but not strong. In that it sort of shreds into little pieces. I used to buy Scott 2 ply which was awesome. It was strong and didn't shred. But during COVID they changed their "formula" and it became thin and shreddy like all the others. Still on the hunt for the ideal TP! Read more
Product was not soft enough to be cottonelle Read more
This is nothing like what I expected. I purchased this specific item because a hotel where I recently stayed at had this exact kind of rolls in their guest rooms. They were very soft, but not to the point where it would become “flaky” or “dusty”. It had very noticeable ridges which is standard for this brand. But the specific order from Amazon may as well been a dollar store-brand toilet paper. Seriously. It is NOTHING like what they advertise. The texture, softness, and quality were all off. I will not be purchasing this item again, that’s for sure. Read more
Purchased this back in March 2025. It has 60 rolls in the package. And while the tissue is super thin, I still, now in September 2025 have about 30 rolls left. I was just tired of paying $12 for a 6pk of rolls at the store. Great for the price! Read more
